for hell $20,000.00 should be more then sweet

That's pretty cool, but $20,000 is quite a lot of money for a turntable, especially if you can't DJ with it. They also have one that costs $13,000 that does not play 78rpm records.

Would be nice if they could further the technology by having the record exposed like a regular turntable, although they would have to implement some sort of safety feature regarding the lasers. I'm pretty sure it's against the law to have the laser light visible on a CD player, as it can damage your eyes if you look into it.

I'd buy a convertable to start. That thing is ugly. Technics tables are good looking. That thing looks like just another giant cd player :P.

i'd just make a laser cartridge that converts the audio back to analog for the tonearm.

that would be hella cool. not sure how'd it work though. magic hovering or something?? lol

i wouldnt buy one of these if i was hugh hefner, turntablism all the way baby, you can stick all your technology up yer ass frankly. leave these rich boy n00b equipment to the half-ass DJs that do it to try and look cool, ill stick to doing it the same way as hundreds and hundreds of DJs before me

I think that's aimed more to the 1337 hifists rather than DJ's...

oh teehee i still think they could have made it slightly better looking tho, 20 grand for sumthing that looks like 1980's VCR

badass. no wear on the vinyl. thats awsome
itd be good to listen to your records when your not spinning.

when i become an ungodly rich consumer whore i'll buy one!

It'd be good for ripping your vinyls too. You could buy a new copy, rip it to wav file with an audiophile soundcard, and have a pristine copy to play with final scratch. Best of all, you could still consider the original vinyl, "unplayed" because a needle had never touched it.

Looks like a cross between an old-school VCR and a LaserDisc player. That's pretty ugly...

An SL-1210M3D is much prettier

I have no idea how the CDJs work but wouldn't it be possible to do the same thing with these turntables now? Wouldn't you be able to build it such that the top part of the case could be turned like the CDJs?

Hopefully they find a way to do it and make it affordable. Maybe it's just wishful thinking by me. =)
