Not only there's just one laser turntable available on the market, but it also quite sucks quality-wise.. Actually it's very sensible to dust on the grooves and unless records are REALLY clean plays with more clicks and pops than a normal turntable. Proof is that the same company is selling a (very expensive) digital click remover unit to couple with their laser turntable. So you'll end up spending $12000+ for turntable and click remover unit and end up with a digitally muffled sound, worse than most decent medium range turntables.
Try to listen to a some MONO 45s that were pressed in the 50s/60s on a half decent turntable, then play any cd/mp3 of the same songs. Certainly it doesnt take an audiophile to realize that the 40 years old vinyl will sound rich, detailed and well spaced while the mp3 compared will just sound like shit! it muffles the sounds which loses a lot of ambience. Cymbals expecially will sound awful.
I'll never get how i'd be supposed to pay 0.99 to get an mp3.
Found my first a few months ago.. Adobe Audition 2.0 refused to install on my W2K Server, said it needed XP. Sticked with v1.5 which is just as good and less bloated.
I've yet to understand why on earth should someone spend 10$ to get crippled, bad sounding songfiles when most of the time the same CD is available on ebay for less.
