Turntable That Can Automatically Replay A Track?


Is there a turntable that can automatically detect the duration of a musical track by the groove lines on the record and replay the track without having the user going up to the turntable and moving the tonearm? I've got up from my listening chair more than 50 times yesterday to replay the same track on the turntable. On certain days I can listen to the same song for hours (on repeat). It's easy on a CD player but quite a chore with a turntable.

Does such a turntable exist? It would be great if a remote is available for selecting tracks but that would be asking too much.

Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll just have to find the equivalent music in another format and hit the repeat button instead of ending up with an ancient low end device.

Cheers.

If you want something high-end, you might want to look into The Laser Turnable.

Thanks for the link. This is something new to me, using laser beams to read the surface of the LP. I wonder how it sounds, and the price. Anybody own this laser turntable?

The very first store that I owned, way back in the day was an Optonica dealer. The Optonica RP-7100 had an extra sensor arm that rode along with the tonearm that detected the tracks. It actually sounded decent and worked pretty well.

Thanks for the information. Looks pretty decent. After reading some of the responses here, now I'm more worried about record wear than stylus wear.

Cheers.
