Try to hear it for yourself and then compare it with a conventional rig. $12K can buy a pretty good used analog front end. Add the cost of an excellent record cleaning machine for either. They are essential.
$12K Laser turntable vs $12k hi-fi turntable?
.
I just read up on the ELP laser turntable. They have a model for $12k that plays 33&45 rpm records. You already know the skinny on laser tables that there is no contact with the lp. The question here is that will that same $12k put into a conventional table, arm and cartridge outperform its laser counterpart. I rarely see laser tables mentioned here. With their cost within the range of some conventional turntable setups, why don't we see more of them on Audiogon? Are they musical? I hear that they are very accurate.
