Audiophile Scam?

The Japan-based ELP Corporation has created a device that plays vinyl… with a laser. Michael Santo of RealTechNews writes:
[LT-1LRC] promises to play any records you still have without damaging the grooves, as it uses five lasers to play them. Grooves are tracked with lasers for the left and right sides of the groove; two other lasers read the music, and the last laser measures the height of the groove to cope with warped records.
This baby will only set you back $15,000. Oh, and make sure your wax is very clean.

Yeah, I've seen these things before. I really wonder how it sounds.

this is cheaper than the other laser enabled turntables i've seen. if you have the money to waste, i mean spend, then this would be a great addtition to the hi-fi. not sure how you scratch or back-cue though.
