What goes around comes around. Philco introduced the beam of light pickup in about 1940. It used an almost identical concept of light falling on a photocell. In those days it was an innovation.
In the end of the 1960's they had a pickup with the same principle. It needed an additional unit and in tests they noticed a lack in high frequencies. Was from Toshiba.
Analogue October Records exclusively use DS Audio Cartridges in conjunction with the Meitner DS-EQ1 to R&D its up coming label releases, as well as test pressings and final product. And for good reason to, because they are simply the best.
The optical pickup is an analog mechanism in this. Rather than magnetic resistance it uses a shade plate and light assembly to drive voltage differences that make up the waveform.
When they introduced the first optical cartridge in 1969, they underlined, that the record won't be pick up optically. Same here. Record players, what picks up the record completely optical, are very special.
You missed something. A CD is read optically by a laser reflecting off pits (and lands) in the surface of the CD. These pits and lands are digital representations of the analog music signal. The DS Audio cartridge follows the analog grooves cut into the LP’s surface the same as a moving coil or moving magnet cartridge, but the cartridge modulates the voltage provided by the cartridges equalizer unit in direct proportion to the groove displacement, without the magnetic hysteresis and moving mass restrictions of the conventional phono cartridge. Thus, it is all analog - not digital at all. The earlier Toshiba cartridge used a small incandescent lamp as it’s light source instead of an LED, plus modern manufacturing has allowed much more intricate machining of all the required parts to make the cartridge much more improved on the original design.
Yes, you missed the most important part. It’s still analogue, but this method negates to magnetic influence and resistance of the old tech. Get a demo. But be warned…. You can’t unhear it. It’s such a paradigm shift in quality!

20,000 for a phone cartridge? Wow! I have to hear on MBL system I heard at CES.

This could precede true optical pickup, no needle touching the album, no wear from replay.
Wow
RECORDS ARE BACK!!!!
So you're taking an LP and in essence turning it into a CD.. or did I miss something?
