That
was the case until now, because warm sound lovers are able to purchase (for enormous sums of money) a turntable which allows them to listen to LPs for as long as they like without scratching them.

We are talking about the laser turntable from Audio Turntable, whose motto is "No Needle, No Wear." The device looks like a CD-player for hi-fi audio sound system, but instead of CDs, the tray is loaded with an LP.

And that's not all; since there is no mechanical component to come in contact with the vinyl material, everything relying on laser, the user can use the remote control to select the desired track or to program songs.

Unfortunately, every innovative device has a matching price, the models being available for sums ranging from 15 to 19 thousand dollars. But if you are among those who love that LP sound, perhaps this would be a good time to take out a loan.
