A:AnswerI believe that it is not good for the needle to continue to stay on the record after the record has completed. When I ordered this machine I assumed that the tone arm would automatically place itself on the record and return to it's resting place after the record finished. I was disappointed when I found that it did not. I have had many turntables and this is the first one that requires manual operation.
Getting back to your question. I would not assume that it is harmless to leave the tone arm on the record after the record has completed it's task. Remove as soon as possible. It may keep the needle in good shape longer.
A:AnswerThe record does not stop and the machine turn off. You have to do this manually. This is the only disappointment of this machine. When the music stops remove the tone arm.
A:AnswerSo far from my experience I have to go into the room and lift the stylus and move it back manually. That is the one thing I do not like about it because I have been busy and left the area only to come back and find it has been going round and round for a long time. :)
A:AnswerI'm sure Best Buy offers a stackable spindle, I don't know. However, if you stack vinyl records (45's and lp's) it will damage them. It's best to manually change your records one at a time. Plus, make sure you purchase a magnetic cartridge. It will give you a more enjoyable listening experience. I hope this helps.
A:AnswerThe AT-LP120XUSB Comes with a suitable entry level cartridge complete with an elliptical stylus. It produces sound playback at a level commensurate with the price tag of $250.00
A:AnswerYou will probably need an Audio or AV Receiver to do what you want. You will be able to plug all your components, including speakers, TV, Turntable, CD player, DVD player, etc., into the receiver and be able to listen to them.
