A vinyl record player using a laser based reading mechanism. Starts off at $15,000, so I may be waiting for the second or third revision.

Edit: Looks like this isn't exactly something new. Sorry for revealing my ever constant ignorance.

    The other component in the picture is a "Declicker"?

    Interesting name for a product.
    I have heard that these LP players skip real easy.

    I had a pop and click denoiser in the 80's that may have been made by SAE. Sadly I don't remember how good it worked or what I did with it. I may have thrown it away thinking I would never listen to vinyl again. I also had a kenwood denoiser for removing tape hiss that I still have the manual for but the unit is no where to be found. :o
