It is a 15 year old development. It has some very strong points, but the record needs to be immaculately clean for it to work well. It doesn't digitize, and you get an analog signal out the back. I haven't heard it, but I've researched it. There are supposedly 1000 of these things out there, but I have yet to hear from anyone that has actually heard one. For a product with 1000 units in the field, it is amazing that nobody seems to really know much about it. The lack of record wear is probably the main asset to the design.
