Yes because it mounts on a new Keel SE. There will not be a Keel SE for Aro I can’t push that one - Not enough numbers/ demand.

Not possible to adapt to that degree IMHO

Thanks @Cymbiosis and @Skeptikal !
I’ve mithered Peter enough about this already, amazed you come here on your day off 
Just thinking that the mod that @rkay5 did to his Javelin to fit Peter’s Aro lifter looks interesting.
I’ve ruled out the arm rest for now as I’m not prepared to drill into my subchassis.

Shame they didn’t take the same design approach with the Ekstatik - it’s a pig to put back on, so we don’t bother and lower the lid when not in use.

Yes, I think this type of stylus guard was only used on the Krystal.
I don’t understand why Linn haven’t implemented it on their newer cartridges since then.
I resemble that comment!

I don’t have an Aro, but I never cue a record down or up without using the lift, never. The lift is far more gentle setting my cartridge in a disc than I can ever muster.

Agreed @JosquinDesPrez . I’m happy to manually cue the first track and lift off at the end of the side, but for anything in between I use the arm lift.

Let the Aro run wild and free I say. There is something exhilarating about it.

Our humble Denon DL-110 very affordably rebuilt by Skyanalog to incorporate an imported boron cantilever and 5/15um elliptical stylus - as run on the far more expensive Skyanalog models.
Beautiful workmanship, but the cartridge still looks ho-hum.
Then it hits the groove and challenges our Shelter 501 II. In fact, many would prefer the Denon DL-110 Boron.
The moral of the story: Don’t biff that MC cart with the bent cantilever!

I’ve had the one on my Tangerine Audio Stiletto LP Aro I think it was called the Elevator. Mine was fitted in 2016 or thereabouts by the late great Derek Jenkins R.I.P. knew Derek for over 40 years he fettled the Linn from his days a The Sound Organisation in the Borough Market.
Whether it’s still available I don’t know as initially was manufactured by Tiger Paw. Peter of Cymbiosis would be able to confirm this. Having just looked on Cymbiosis website it’s listed as the lifter it’s the same unit I have on mine £199
Regards,
Martin

Yes, I persuaded Roger Hamilton of Tiger Paw to come up with something that would work for the ARO all those years ago. But when Roger retired in 2018 I wanted to continue having these useful devices available and with a couple of modifications to improve stability helped by my friend johnnie7 formally the owner of Audio Origami I brought out an improved version that we call the lifter. Not everybody needs it but it’s nice to have the option and especially if you’ve had a few shandies whilst listening IMHO

I try and help when and where I can…

Yes it’s a shame that Roger of Tiger Paw retired and that he didn’t listen to my observations on the arm lift as that retainer at the top is one issue, and not having enough adjustability for different cartridge dimensions (height) was the other. Otherwise a great arm but the Bool addresses these and more thankfully. KR, Peter

Oh dear … this reminds me to … bring my TT to phonosophie (let it be arrowed)… what is this cart you use?
Your p3 looks marvelous - mine as well. I am first owner since 1990
How do you polish the platter.
I am so happy to read that there is finally a lifter for the aro available again. Thanks a lot for bringing t back, Peter.
