The ELP turntable?

Now that's what I call Progressive

/but hang on - if you shine several lasers at a piece of plastic, won't it melt?

Light generates heat, and heat is THE ENEMY...

If you don't want the hassle then go for it, but you could probably get better results using a normal setup.

Is Judy Collins prog...?    

How much did you paid the Nad?
I know that there's a Creek around 100/120€.

Unfortunatly the Creek preamp for the same price works better.

Yes i've heard about these and seen them for sale on ebay, i'd love to audition one for a few days.

The quality of sound it has is extremely high for its class - and, without bragging, I have better ears for music than most. Thanks for the advice anyway.
