Swapped an AT for an Ortofon super om20 on one of the Dual tables and the reduction in noise was huge. Now I have to get some different tonearm wires for the table cause these keep coming unplugged form the cartridge.
For an extra $150, the iPod 'Vinyl Super Classic Extra' adds warp noise, off-centre wow and 'drunk-party sticky hand print'!
Ortofon cartridges can be excellent, I'm still using a high output moving coil which is about 25 years old, sounds great; using with a Pioneer direct drive turntable.
My old system: Kenwood KD500, Formula 4 tonearm, Grace F9e cartridge, Last PAS tube preamp, two Dynaco ST70 power amps, and home brew Dynaudio speakers (D28af, 17M75 mids, and Peerless 10 inch woofers). Sheffield direct-to-disc audiophile recordings sounded the best.

Are you talking about Pioneer Laserdisc for movies, or are you referring to Compact Discs? Otherwise, I have no clue what you're talking about.
They are others but this was the first to pop up in the search. Stereophile wrote a review for another brand laser vinyl player. Hi-tech meets old tech vinyl played with a beam of light.
We had one of these back when I was a kid. My parents only bought like 3 movies, then ended up with the quintessential VCR. I honestly never looked into how these things work, but holy shit! Check it out, personally I've never seen or talked to anyone who also had one. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_Electronic_Disc

Sorry, this is so inappropriate...
So many comments but I better not ...
That would really hurt if done with 78s.....

I would guess the album being used is Devo's "Freedom Of Choice" with the song "Whip It".
They did make laser record players, you just inserted the disk in the slot.
