2sheds Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 ELP Laser Turntable (Price around $10,000) Yep, that's right folks, this turntable uses a laser (5 actually), not a needle, to read your vinyl records without any wear and tear. And sorry Drizt, this is still an analogue device :eek: cheers 2sheds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sheds Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 EMT 930ST (Discontinued) Now this is what I call a REAL turntable :eek: None of your arty farty acrylic and rubber bands here This is a masterpiece of German engineering. These rarely appear for auction, though they are still plentiful. You can easily spend $15,000 on a refurbished model. And that's without the highly sought after valve phone preamp seen here. If anyone sees one let me know. Ohh, and give me some forewarning as it might take a few days to sell my mother on eBay....:eek: cheers 2sheds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about some classic Juke Box pictures - when do they get a look in! and while I think of it any up-market portables or record ghetto blasters can get a couple of hours of your reseacrh attention?

I know I know I am being lazy but you do such a great job Some great ideas there for the next in the Coffee Table Book series, Andy I'll keep them in mind.... As I understand the way the Laser Turntable works, is by turning the reflection of the laser by the grooves into a mechanical (or analogue) movement. That's a similar way to the movement of a stylus creating an analogue signal by the movement of the cantilever moving a magnet and a coil. In a true digital environment the signal would be converted to electrical or optical signals (on or off) ADC (Analogue to Digital Convertor) and reconverted back to analogue in the DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). According the manufacturers of the Laser Turntable, there is no conversion to digital in their player. The EMT? Now I know what the Germans did with all those leftover Panzer Tanks :eek: cheers 2sheds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
