ELP Laser Turntable - Plays Your Vinyl Records without Touching Them

Japanese company ELP offers a Vinyl Record player that uses a Laser instead of a needle.

If you play your old vinyl with a standard turntable, and you hurt every time a little bit having the little needle carving along the grooves, then this product is for you. Your pain needs to be really intense though, because the ELP Laser Vinyl player sells for a cool $15,000. ELP already sold over 1,000 laser vinyl players.
More details on Future Looks and on the ELP site.
