In Reply to: Unless you mean a safety raiser in which case ............ posted by Michael J. on May 13, 2007 at 19:16:13:
...Quote from the listing:"Attach the circular part to your amp and place the double rod stand at a point where the magnets on both the lift and circular part attract each other at the lead out groove on the record."
My amp is several feet away from the turntable, so how does it work?

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.

I believe that the guy who wrote that description meant arm, not amp. The round circular part attaches to the arm tube and the stand sits on the plinth. That's the only way it makes sense to me. Mosin described a very similar set-up and said it was quite pricey, something in the order of $150.00 US. This one is $49.00 I think, quite a difference. I think that if I were looking for a safety raiser I would seek out that one made by Audio Technica. Something about a magnet wrapped around the arm tube makes me leary of the Alphason. Probably just me being paranoid.Happy listening
The magnet is strange. I'd be worried that it would affect other aspects of the chain...anti-skate, tracking ability/force, etc....
but I'm using an alphason arm also so that may have something to do with it.
