All the players I've used have auto return, is that less common these days?

Some of those hurt the records, so some of the more expensive turntables seem to forgo them recently.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem as common in new tables. Personally I find it to be a pain in the ass, and will only go for manual ones. I used to have an auto Technics changer turntable. Frustrating to use most of the time.

I see you don't play Sgt. Pepper often. That endless loop…
