Don’t forget that you damage the record a little each time you listen. I heard about laser pickups that measure the groove without touching it, but I don’t know if those are commercially available.

There have been various attempts at selling laser turntables over the last 30 years or so. The only company currently producing them is ELP out of Japan ( http://elpj.com/ )

Prices start at $15,000.00 although there's a used one on EBay for $3,500.
