According to ELP, this machine is so cool, it can even play “Warped and Damaged Records.” They claim that “In some cases, the LT plays even broken records when all the pieces are placed on a tray without tape or glue.” Excuse me? Not only that, but this unit is also impervious to the sounds of “footsteps on the floor, door slamming, or other vibrations in the area that would cause feedback.” Where was this machine 20 years ago?
The Laser Turntable does all of this without physical contact to the records, so that means that vinyl lovers who traditionally saved playing their favourite records for the same times that they crack open a bottle of rare wine, can get a little happy a little more often: Your records are safe no matter how many times you play them. Most importantly, ELP claims “the Laser Turntable retains the purity of being an analogue device and outputs a MM level Phono signal, with a frequency response of 10 Hz- 25 kHz.”
OMG WANT.
I just added this to the list of things I will get when I am wealthy. Check.
