ELP Laser Turntable Mk2? But this one is for 78s and broken records . . .
Not sure if I like the results but at least the hiss can be taken out with a notch filter if needed.

The Finial (IIRC) was a laser LP reader way back and it suffered hugely by not distinguishing dust etc for the music signal in the grooves. If the record was clinically clean, it sounded fantastic I recall from reports at the time...
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
