Subject:      Preserving Vinyl Records - Laser Turntable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Greetings all,

 

My name is Matt Shumate and I am affiliated with the ELP Corporation(Japan),
makers of the world's only Laser Turntable.  I recently came across the ARSC
and thought its members might be interested in exploring the technology
behind the Laser Turntable.  Since a stylus never physically touches the
record, there's never a chance for wear and tear to the vinyl.  For long
term preservation, there is not better way to reproduce the analog sound of
a vinyl record.  Another great feature is the ability to adjust the lasers
by microns to pick up audio information from the groove that has never
before been touched by a needle.  Combine it with the ELP Declicker and you
can remove pop and click noises in real-time without the assistance of a
computer.

 

I encourage you to read more at www.laserturntable.com
<http://www.laserturntable.com/> .  Indiana University recently purchased an
LT for their music library and has been extremely impressed with the
results.  If there's any additional information I can be of assistance with,
please let me know and I'll be happy to help out.


Best,

Matt
