## Description

It can be installed in minutes, without tools, and is designed to fit on most manual turntables.

It can be configured for a variety of tonearm heights, thicknesses and shapes.

Review: After ruining a couple of needles with my manual turntable I decided to finally buy an arm lifter. It has a plastic look and seems fragile, hence the price, but it works very well on Planar 3 turntable. Easy to install. Very happy with it.
Review: AUDIO-TECHNICA AT6006Rからの乗り換えです。 違いは ①位置決め後でも高さが調整できる。 ②位置決め後でもリフトアップ位置調整ができる。 ③リフトアップ動作調整ができる。 ④トリガー動作調整ができる。 AT6006Rでは一度決めると調整するには両面テープをはがさないとできません。 見栄えとネームで高額のAT6006Rより断然優秀な製品です。 敢えて欠点を上げるとオイルダンパーではないので「カチッ」といった動作音がすることぐらいかな。

Great little piece of kit. Quite brilliant actually. However, I nearly returned it because it sat too high for my turntable—a Pro-Ject Primary E. Luckily, I found some helpful DIY suggestions on the Pahmer website… long story short all I had to do was remove the little foam strip on the top of the tonearm lifter and I had all the clearance I needed. Works exactly as described now.
