\"When Pro-Ject took over the German factory responsible for the classic automatic hifi turntable, they immediately improved the base model with the Automat A1. Over a year of development later, they\'ve introduced the A1.2 with improved drive system & platter.\" - TTL
\"The A1.2 has a fully automatic start/stop with the automatics being completely disengaged and decoupled during the entire runtime of the record. The fully mechanical automatics are engaged when you press start and the tonearm is automatically moved to the lead in groove of the record. Once playing, the automatics are taken out of the equation and do not affect playback quality in any way.\" - Pro-Ject
