Last I was at the Music School library at the U of M, they had a whole bunch
of laser turntables.

How quickly can it 'capture" a side of an LP? It better have
digital outputs in addition to audio.

No, on their web page they proudly proclaim that their product has
no digital signal handling stuff.

There's actually a very recent DJ-oriented turntable with digital outputs.

Oh, wait...a turntable that uses a laser to _read_ the record?

Dan: what sort of "laser turntables" were you describing in resp:71?

Okay. I've seen ones that look to be laser-balanced. There's a pattern
printed on the rim of the turntable, and a laser which reads that pattern and
adjusts the speed and tilt of the turntable accordingly.

Never seen those. Sorry I wasn't more detailed in my original response.
The appeal of a turntable which uses a laser in place of the phono
stylus is that record wear is no longer a worry.

I'd be really impressed if it played 78's.
hmm..then again I see no reason it shouldn't if it can automatically adjust
the speed...
