I have been lurking here for a while as I have grown to really like the simple but good engineering that the Lenco's seem to share, & would love to build my own at some point. I took the decision to sell my main deck, an Inspire Eclipse, in order to finance buying two decks, which are a Townshend Rock Elite II & a Goldring Lenco 75. One of these with be purely for playing my ever growing pile of old mono jazz records, leaving the other for every day listening. I don't mind which does what, just the one I like best for that particular genre really. Being in the middle of a home refurb however I just don't have the time or space to build my own at this time, so I enlisted the help of a couple of really nice guys over on LH to source & build one for me.
I am so pleased with the results, much better than I could have hoped for, & I hope when I have to time to build my own it will look & sound as good as this one.
I attended a wigwam bake off on Saturday & my Lenco was the vinyl front end of a system comprising my own Art Audio Vinyl One Reference phono stage, a Aurorasound Vida, a Modwright LS 36.5 pre, Plinius SA103 power amp, Wilson Watt Puppies & assorted foo cables. The digital front was a Chord Blu & Chord QDB76 (I think).
The Lenco received a lot of very favourable comments & most thought it performed very well ahead of some very expensive kit, in fact two of the guys said they were going to look more into them as a result of the day.
Result!
