The most interesting feature of the optical system consists in its ability to play ancient and damaged records, as may be found in the sound archives of National Institutes and broadcasting stations.The force applied by the fiber on the record is limited to 50 mg, about 100 time less than that of a modern pick-up.

  • This is amazing! I can't believe no one thought of such an ingeniously simple concept before.

  • Can you make 3 videos: one with "I'm In The Mood For Dancin' 89" on 12" vinyl disc being played on this player, one with the same record being played on a laser turntable and on that compares both players?

  • Very interesting.

  • I found this amazing, but no danger of spoiling laser discs ? you would have to sell this device ? as is the functioning him?

  • This is great! You dont need to destroy or upset your records to digitally master the sound recorded.

  • It took me some time to comprehend what i was looking at. I was looking for a needle then I realized your'e using optical fibre.

  • @salchst microgroove LPs probably aren't the best thing for this unit given its obvious setup for (very!) vintage LPs. An ELP Laser Turntable would love that vinyl though!

  • can it play really bad/worn 45's as well?

  • Me siento emocionado por el rescate cultural que estan haciendo. Congratulations.

  • Impressive.

  • tres bon monseur. Pardon moi, mon francais nes pas tres bon.

  • Hi, is this device open source? I would like to see the schematics...
