Advances In Turntable Technology?
WogboTheFrogGod asks: "I've seen numerous postings regarding DVD, CD-R, MP3, devices, drivers, softwares, etc. No one has talked much about the old-school technology. I suspect that I'm not the only slash-dotter with a healthy collection of vinyl. What's the latest and greatest with turntables? To get you started, here is a turntable that uses a cd-style laser to read the vinyl grooves. Trouble is that it costs $20,500! I'm looking for equipment that will integrate with the newer higher-end stuff, and that will (possibly) facilitate vinyl ripping." Turntables and vinyl I still prefer over CDs in some situations. I would love to be able to grab a laser-based turntable, but unfortunately, I don't think any of us would like to deal with that price tag. -
Two Turntables and a Laser Beam
karmaflux writes "Dig this. A turntable that uses a five-beam laser system to read your vinyl. Rad, eh? The cheap ($13k) model doesn't do 60 or 90 rpm. Spring for the good one ($20k). Note: an excellent vacuum cleaner is included in both models. What style this company has to release this product during the current MP3 frenzy! " I've just gotten back into collecting and enjoying vinyl records, so this is terribly interesting to me, although the price looks to be a bit too steep, and I doubt I can use it to scratch at parties.
