ELP laser turntable


A turntable that uses optics instead of a needle to reproduce music from vinyl. Has anyone heard this

I think there was a very high end ($$$$$) laser tt from Japan that was in production. The name escapes me.
The ELP is the Finial turntable, rebadged after new backers stepped in to rescue the device from oblivion.
