Laser Turntables; Opinions Please

I 'think' Stereophile may review this in the future.
In the recommended components TT section,in the area of TT products to keep any eye on or to having a coming review it is mentioned (I think) I dont have that issue anymore to double check though.Am I right or wrong?

I thought there was a fairly recent review on this in TAS? Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps it was Stereophile. Whichever, I don't think the review was very complimentary, your records need to be fantastically clean or you get tons of surface noise. In fact I think if you buy one it comes with a VPI cleaning machine.

Nothing special and a lot of kinks it seems to me.

There are alot of draw backs on the ELP laser turntable, first they cost quite a bit of money, two the laser goes out quite often because the LED they use has a short life to it, three if the LED goes out you have to send it all the way back to Japan I think it was because only they can do the repair because the LED is made especially for them. And most important one is that it doesn't sound as good as some table in the $2000 range.
