CDLP's anyone?
Holy moly! Its here! The future is now!
This rocks. It uses lasers to position the read head over the groove and follow it rom start to end and then uses more lasers to read the information encoded into the grooves of the record.
Fantastic.
It even allows you to skip back and forth like a CD. When you first drop the LP into the player it will scan the surface looking for breaks between tracks.
The lasers read parts of the groove that havent been touched by a needle, so the sound quality should be perfect. Combine that with a pop filter and the fact that there is no thermal noise from a needle cartridge, or rumble from the motors, or hiss and pops from dust and scratches - you will hear exactly what is on the LP.

Me want.
