	ELP Laser Turntable: about the LT
		Laser Turntable is "No Needle, No Wear ™." The LT features an absolutely contact-free optical pickup system.
		That's why the laser beam reads everything – including dirt and dust in addition to the audio signal – in the groove, so the vinyl record must be absolutely clean and free of debris.
		The incident area of the laser beam on the groove is only a fourth the contact area of the best stereo needle and twenty-six times smaller than a mono needle.

	Bill Gaw AA Chapter 55: ELP Laser Turntable
		While the three sighting lasers use A/D conversion to run their electronics and servo motors, the reading laser's signal is kept analog for the transition from light to electrical signal output, thus no digital conversion.
		There is also no turntable bearing or motor noise that is transmitted through a stylus while maximum stereo separation is achieved, as each side of the groove is being read by a separate laser.
		The turntable should be placed on a flat surface after unlocking the platter's mechanism by turning the unit on its left side, and rotating a large screw on the bottom counterclockwise about 20 turns.

	Boing Boing: Laser turntable plays records like CDs
		The ELP laser turntable reads LPs with lasers -- the manufacturer claims that the lasers can read "virgin" parts of the grooves that haven't been touched by needles and produce a better sound, and that the five laser read-head lets you skip forward and back across or within tracks as you would with a CD.
		Two Tracking Laser beams are directed to the left and to the right shoulders of the groove of the record.
		Two additional laser beams are directed at the left groove wall and the right groove wall just below the tracking beams.

	ELP Laser Turntable: Plays Vinyl Records without a Needle

		ELP claims the laser turntable sounds better, and certainly there are theoretical reasons to think that it might.
		This turntable may be "expensive" but it is 1/4 the price of the highest-priced turntable I've seen (the Rockport one), so that's a relative matter.
		There's a problem with laser pick up: the wavelength of the laser is not narrow enough to resolve the highest frequencies in the grooves.

		That was the case until now, because warm sound lovers are able to purchase (for enormous sums of money) a turntable which allows them to listen to LPs for as long as they like without scratching them.
		And that’s not all; since there is no mechanical component to come in contact with the vinyl material, everything relying on laser, the user can use the remote control to select the desired track or to program songs.

		I haven't heard a laser turntable either and even if I'd like them, I wouldn't have any use for one for a few personal reasons but still I'd like to hear one.
		A few people have bought em and have said they're nice, but I fail to believe that a laser could read sonic information better than a decent cart that could track down deep in the groove.
