Anyone heard the ELP Laser Turntable?


My B&O 4002 turntable has a grounding problem. I was looking around for new turntables and found the laser turntable concept to be interesting. I have searched several forums and found most posts were from those that had never heard it. I also located one review but the write-up didn't sound genuine. From the two that I found who had heard it (one now a owner) say they like it. (They have only sold slightly over 1000 units). Anyway I am interested in anyones first hand experience. Thanks, Rick

There was a review (or article) in Stereophile or T.A.S. that liked the unit but had two cautions: 1) There is no remote control...a totally stupid lack of convenience since this design would allow for the easy adaptation of a remote! 2) The unit is EXTREMELY susceptible to picking up noise from dust...much more so than a conventional table. Also, if this was such a cutting edge technology, why haven't major manufacturers jumped on the band wagon? Caveat emptor!
