Saved up and went for it with the new laser cartridge.

$4,107

But once Furutech gets their hands on it, probably ten times that.

If you're tracking a record via a laser, doesn't that in fact make it a digital hybrid? I assume the laser tracks the grooves and then some kind of a digital converter converts the laser data into physical vibrations. Am I wrong in my assumptions?

Hi Alex,

I would think it might be possible to merely measure the light reflection variations of the modulated grooves and extract the signal, thus no digital at all.

Wouldn't the measurements have to be digitized and the resulting data translated into physical vibrations thus back to analog?

Yes, it was a classic!

As I recall, he concluded with the most succinct 8 word summary of Hi Fi I've ever read.

Thnaks for bringing him up!
