    a lenco is an excellent example of punching above its weight.

    Not as heavy as 65kgs, but I think it plays very nicely for its weight
    It could probably do with something like the Vidar phono stage to top it off though.
    and so it should Steve, having said that it would out perform many turntables 10 x the price.

    I like the sound of it, and that is pretty much all that counts.

    Years ago I had a Micro Seiki DD-24. It didn't look much but sounded extremely good. A very musical turntable.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Not sure what you mean by 'punching above it's weight'. Do you mean something that didn't cost much but has a good SQ? If so, then I offer my Thorens TD124/II turntable (£38) plus SME 3009/II arm (£25) plus Shure M55E (£20).

    Yes, but you bought them new in 1967, didn't you?

    I swapped my Michell Gyro SE for my Thorens TD124 and even though it needed some TLC it always surprises me in it's sonics especially with an SPU ( Petrat).

    The way it reproduces the music is astounding. It's solid and not overly bass heavy. Really nice sound and the quality is bonkers in comparison to today's offerings.

    So, yes... IMO it punches through the ceiling.

    My Toshiba SR-370 turntable with Mission 774 arm is a seriously good combination. Cost me around £300 to put together. The sound is very tight, solid and clean, better than the 401/Ittok I had.

    My point is that I have not had the opportunity to do a comparison to decks costing much more.
