- Liner Notes
- The Sansui SR-2050 is a striking model strictly for the purist looking for the simplicity and accuracy of a manual turntable with the basic convenience of an automatic.

Like most automatics, the tonearm automatically lifts from the final groove of the record in play. But unlike conventional automatics which take advantage of increasing end-of-play tonearm speed to trigger the lifting device, the auto-lift mechanism is entirely electrical and is set in motion by a special detector circuit which activates a relay/solenoid control system.
