here's something I tried today, and really makes the bass have more presence.Just seems to have more slam in the bass. Goto Hobby Lobby, and buy a couple 3mm thick foam sheets. Trim them to about the same diameter as an LP. Drill a hole for the spindle, and lay a Ringmat ontop of the foam rubber.

Did you re-adjust the VTA after the placement of the additional mat?

See also a video, link above.Very interesting, I've been thinking of something to turn off my TT remotely, or automatically at the end of a disc. Got any more details/info?Thanks,Steve.
Thanks a bunch for that Doug, just did some looking but it seems expressimo are no longer in business (website down) and there are none of these to be found anywhere. Found a couple threads saying they can cause mischief anyway, launching the arm back across the record, digging holes with the needle...I would be happy just to have something to kill the power at the plug without me having to get up, if I want to fall asleep after an LP, without even lifting the needle. Maybe a remote controlled power outlet is what I need?Still, turning sides makes me get up.Maybe what I really need is to relocate my TT to right next to me chair!
yes, expressimo is discontinued, as i stated. all these are awailable only used. i have seen thorens cue-ups sell for over $100 on ebay!?! my cue-up & a-t lifters function perfectly; never had a record damaged. a buddy of mine uses the expressimo lifter, & has not had any issues either...doug s.
Hi, I will offer soon such electornic devices made on order. Info will be available on the special web-site. I'm working on two models now, both having light operated sensors. Old AT and other mechanically operated lifters are cool, however I think that mechanically operated things with their mechanical triggers do not fully comply with Hi-End creteria. I will offer things with no any additional efforts on slylus, and with no effect on the sonic performance...
Hi, Doug. Actually I've never used mechanical lifters, so I assume they may work OK too. Now I'm working on kind of my own mini web-site, offering my devices. Price will be reasonable and 3 months money back policy offered. As soon as it will be ready,I will put info here.
