Nice setup. You have much more room than I do for the TRU lift. I am very impressed with the TRU sweep and can recommend it. It virtually eliminates all pops. I do sweep the record with an AudioQuest brush before each play which helps as well. Here is the photo from above with the sweep in action. It tracks the record reliably as the needle.Congrats Arewethereyet!
With a lot more fiddling than I anticipated, last night I was able to get my Tru-Lift set up on my new Woodpecker.
Mind you, I have the 12 inch Schick arm mounted so it is back from the platter a couple or 3 more inches than you 4PT9.
I did screw up measuring before ordering my Tru-Lift and ordered the #3 with the Base which ended up being about
.25inches too high to fit under the arm tube.
Not the end of the world, I just took the base off and raised the adjustable column up.
I may see if Integrityhifi Canada will exchange mine for a #2 and Base.
How would you rate the Tru-Sweep?
The only gripe I have with getting back into Vinyl playback is record surface noise and "some" poor sounding LPs.
Choosing good sounding titles is on me, but if proper cleaning along with the Tru-Sweep can make a quieter listening experience, I may get one.

I’m running the new new PrimaLuna EVO 100 Phono, only about 50 hours so far and about 15 hours now on the TT. I expect both to open up more in the coming weeks. If I had not picked up the PL, I would have chosen the Pass Labs or Manley phono stage. I considered the PS Audio stellar but concerned about reported issues with the remote control and access to functionality only available via the remote control.Getting the Led out!
Ya, you don't have much real estate in there for a Tru-Lift.
That is good to know the Tru-Sweep does a good job!
I may see if I can exchange the Base for partial credit towards a Sweep.
What phono stage are you running?
I am using a Vista Audio Phono2, which is a budget pre that is doing a decent job but I would like
something more in line with this new table and cartridge (Charisma, Reference One).
On my radar so far are the Pass Labs, XP-17 and Modwright, PH 9.0X.
Happy Listening!
