FAQs
Laser Turntable
So just to reiterate why it's very unlikely I'll ever review the ELP laser turntable.
1. It cost $8000 for the budget model the last time they published the prices (they took the prices off their website a couple of years ago and made it POA). It also has to be imported from Japan and you pay the postage and the duty charges.
2. It can't read coloured, clear or picture disc vinyl
3. As it converts the analogue record to digital, dust is a big issue. Rather than a small crackle or a pop it's now a dropout in the audio.
4. It has been out for years (decades) and yet still appears to be seen as a silly novelty by the HiFi press. That's worrying for a $8000+ product.
7+TRACKS PER SIDE
Most frequently repeated question:
What do you do if there are more than 7 tracks on one side of an LP?
The obvious and predictably boring answer:
Press play & you can listen to your entire 15+ track vinyl record
You can still also navigate directly to any of the first 7 tracks on either side, and play both sides without getting up to flip the record.
If you were expecting it to blow up and set on fire...sorry for the disappointment.
