Denbo Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELP-LT1RC-Laser-Turn...1QQcmdZViewItem Bit Pricey maybe Effin awesome!!! Pity about the price.
Guest Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 No good :angry: no setting for my Brunswikc Canadian records that play at 16and a half,at them prices you would want one that play all the formats,wouldnt you?
FrankM Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 By scanning below the surface, scratches are inaudible and even broken records can be played, if you need to transcribe those old 78s! Isn't there a DJ with a Shrine single in bits still sealed in a mailer without packaging. He might be interested in it.
Guest martyn Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELP-LT1RC-Laser-Turn...1QQcmdZViewItem Bit Pricey maybe Maybe the price will come down in the long term.Remember how expensive digital cameras used to be for example.....Presuming it actually works of course
Guest Gavin Page Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Maybe the price will come down in the long term.Remember how expensive digital cameras used to be for example.....Presuming it actually works of course Going to look at one this weekend I hope, will let you know !
Sweeney Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) This has been discussed before. The price is unlikely to come down in the same way as digital cameras have as it's very much a 'niche' product. Digital cameras were always going to supercede normal film-based cameras in the same way that CDs and MP3s have superceded vinyl. As a result the uptake has meant significant price reductions. This product will have a limited market. Laser Turntable Edited April 26, 2006 by sweeney
Billy Freemantle Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 First read about this in New Scientist 20 years ago. At that time a British company, that came up with the lazer turntable, had been bough out by a Japanese one. The Brit firm had stumbled at the problem of getting the lazer to read through the dust that inevitably collects in the grooves of a vinyl record. The conventional stylus was able to deal with some debris just by pushing it out of the way. I wonder how they solved that problem with lazer?

Allegedly they didn't, which is why these highly expensive follies aren't actually considered that good. You'd need to clean a record scrupulously to optimise the performance. Even then who knows?
Billy Freemantle Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 The best approach, then, might be to play it using a stylus to clean it and then bang it on the $7,000 lazer machine.
Guest Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Best Approach might be to spend $7700 on vinyl and play it how it should be played. Had a Jack Russell that wouldnt give up on anything like most jacks but this is a dead horse!
