A look at a not-so-vintage vinyl player.

Using the word “Turntable” and “Laser” in the same sentence is almost like an oxymoron. Well, not only has ELP brought lasers to the old record player, but they have also given the old platters all the tricks that a CD player has, without wearing out that precious vinyl. Did I mention it plays them broken too?

    Diddo, but thats an awesome player!

  3. That's frickin' cool! Too bad it costs 150x what I paid for my record player...

  4. I remember seeing one of these for $25k in the Maximum PC mag about 4 years ago. Still cool as hell.

  5. pretty cool, but how does it play a broken record? does the laser spend around the record?

  6. I just can't understand why they're so expensive to produce.

  7. Because there are probably only 25 customers for something like this...
