Re: Vinyl introduces a lot of failings

"IMO the two problems with vinyl are that normal use wears it out (unlike CDs --- I know they won't last forever, but each play doesn't wear it down) and that you have to be very careful with the needle."

I've often wondered just how much the "warmth" of vinyl would change if you used a laser "needle" to play? It would seem to placate both groups; those who want the wider audio range of vinyl, and those who prefer the crisp, clearness of digital. Then throw in the elimination of friction wearing and it seems to be a total package.
