At $18,999 (the $9,500 is a down payment from what I gather, not the full sale price), I doubt he'd be able to cut me a deal I could afford. Let's face it, if I could afford that, then I could afford CEDAR. Besides, he sent me a cd and booklet a few years ago. The cd was meant to demonstrate the difference in sound between a modern turntable and his laser turntable, and I've got to tell you, when it came to playing a 78rpm record, the laser turntable sounded awful. This coupled with the literature claiming that the laser turntable can only play black discs -- meaning it wouldn't be able to play my thousands of red Associated transcriptions, or even a blue Columbia 78 for that matter -- and with the high price tag, I decided to say thanks, but no thanks.

I purchased my LT-2XRC for $1,500 under that including shipping back in 2004 when the exchange rate was ¥10/$ lower than it is today. Unless things have changed recently, the factory is still perfectly happy to deal with you directly and will make a better deal. As the local distributor doesn't and can't offer any support whatsoever (machine MUST be returned to Japan for repair) I see >no benefit whatsoever to using the US distributor. If you want one, contact ELP themselves. Sanjou Chiba will likely be quite happy to cut a deal. > > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List >>[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Colin Schlachta >>Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 1:33 PM >>To: [log in to unmask] >>Subject: [ARSCLIST] Lazer Turntable >> >> >> >>Hello all. >> >> >> >>My work is in wax cylinders so it really doesn't apply to me, >>but the offer for this product looks interesting. >> >> >> >>http://www.audioturntable.com/purchase/index.html >> >> >> >> >> >>Colin Schlachta >> >>Audio-Visual Archives >> >>Canadian Museum of Civilization >> >>100 Laurier Street >> >>Gatineau, Quebec >> >>J8X 4H2 >> >>Fax: (819) 776-7055 >> >>Tel: (819) 776-8466 >> >> >> >> >> > > > >
