Vinyl records will never die, as long as we hold their memory in our hearts. <sniff>
...Or wait. No, surely this that I see is... no, maybe it's-- but no! It's ... it's... a laser vinyl turntable!
Priced modestly from $13,500 to $23,500, this state-of-the-art audio device plays vinyl records using only a laser beam-- no needle to skip and damage the record, and no clumsy dependence on gravity and sensitivity to jolts. Why, this technology might even be safe for in-dash car players!
Uhhhh....huh. Well, I suppose it's heartwarming that there's a market for this stuff still, and that it's still a hotbed of innovation. But still-- dang. In the age of MP3, the people who complain about the sound quality of CDs as opposed to vinyl are starting to sound even sillier.
I'm not saying they're wrong, mind you. Just that they sound silly.
