Ahhhhh. That explains it. Are they that much better sounding than a traditional needle?

Wow! Does the laser ever need to be replaced?

There’s only one company that makes them, that’s why they are so expensive — they are built to order like an Aston Martin.

$13,000 right now.
In theory, it’s a “lifetime investment”.
Chiefly because you don’t have to replace records that are rendered unplayable by playing them too often.

How much does a laser record player cost?

I wish! I’m actually afraid to play the vinyl on a record player unless I can one day get one of those big beautiful expensive laser record players that doesn’t damage records but still has the same vinyl sound.

Ah! I thought you were one of those aural purists who will only listen to music live or on vinyl through a tube amp.

Don’t get me wrong — I have digital copies of all of my vinyl and I only listen to music digitally. For the touch and feel aspect, however, I am all about vinyl.
