I've listened to the laser turntables on LPs, but not 78s - they really did sound excellent, though not the best I've heard. I know that on 78s they give the choice of either side of the groove, meaning you can play back the least worn side of the channel - another bonus. However I don't intend to spend a five figure sum on such a beast when I have the chassis of a perfectly good Goldring Lenco, just waiting for me to find time (and the right piece of marine ply) to build it a plinth. Still, I note the ELP is coming down in price - and I can resist anything except temptation. ;-) - Richard -- Morris Minor Convertible for sale: www.goodgnus.org/mmconvertible4sale/ http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page.php/carno/29129 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
