well yes because LP's had that physical connection with the needle to make
but we've come a long way with electronics
since those days, a laser on either side and a switching circuit would be
all that is needed now but it would add to cost of manufacturing.
They even had lasers that can detect the physical grooves in old LP albums
nowaday and convert the optical data into digital info that is then
converted to music, so it can play old records without a needle or contact,
and correct for scratches and avoid hiss etc..
But these new record players are about $10,000 I believe.
Amazing what lasers can do. Right?
