....doesn't sound very good. In 2003, when it was demonstrated at the Stereophile show in NYC, they also had in the room an inexpensive Technics belt-drive turntable with a Shure cartridge. They didn't want to play it - 'everyone wants to hear the laser turntable'. Then Michael Fremer came in and made them play his record on both the Technics and the laser turntable. The Technics was audibly superior.I discussed this in the hall outside the room with Fremer and some other writers from Stereophile. I suggested you need the heat, friction, and physical deformation produced by a stylus in the groove to get good sound off an LP.
