    This is almost as practical as my Cold-Fusion Toaster (patent pending).

    DAMMIT!


    I am not sufficiently caffeinated, I am underslept, bleary-eyed, and viewing the Gizmodo on a crappy 15" Dell CRT monitor.


    I thought that this post was "The Scratch Desk", a desk suitable for home or office, with two built-in turntables and a crossfader. To that, I say "Yes, please!"


    To this, I say "meh". Stop taunting me! I want my Scratch Desk!


    GIVE ME MY SCRATCH DESK, MARK!!!!

    My microwave oven has a built-in turntable, but every record I've tried to play there sounds terrible. How do I calibrate it? Or am I just supposed to use a steak knife instead of a phono cartridge?

    @Aashish Bhagyanagar: I don't. But Sony makes a few pieces of audio gear that are surprisingly good. Their C-800 microphone is around $10,000 and used on a lot of albums. Sometimes their pro audio chops trickle down to other products.

    1. In order to play music it has to spin counterclockwise.


    2. The head will follow an arc instead (just like an old turntable) of a straight line (like all CD heads). Does this issue will cause trouble reading the CDs?

    @DeLarge: You'd need a really accurate stepper motor (or other mechanism) to guide that arm. Any tiny movement at the point of articulation would cause a significant movement at the end of the arm.


    Vibration on the arm would be a killer as well, but I guess there'd be some damping mechanism in the head.

    It will always be incomplete, unless CD's start coming in paper sleeves.
