ELP Laser Turntable

For those audiophiles amongst you who continue to insist that the analogue LP is superior to digital CDs comes news of the ELP Laser Turntable. Forget about the wear and tear of using an old-fashioned stylus – this turntable uses a laser. It even looks like a retro CD player.

The ELP web site is very coy about saying what the price is, which led me to suspect that it would be a case of "if you have to ask, you can’t afford it". And yep, sure enough, prices (depending on the model) range from a cool $14,999 up to a staggering $18,999.
