Well it is to me!
The Technics has gone and I was looking to replace with a Rega RP6. Then a modded Lenco turned up on the 'Wam and it was local... So I headed off for a listen. The owner had built it from scratch with help from Lenco Heaven, and done quite a nice job of it... But I still wasn't sure. What swung it for me was a visit to a local dealer stocking Rega... Nice, but the engineering just wasn't a patch on the Lenco. I could see both working in 20 years time but the Rega would be like Trigger's broom by then!
So now my rack houses this behemoth, all 25kgs with an Audiomods arm, Jolyon bearing and stacked platter. I love that it had the same sense of propulsion that the Technics had but has restored some of the 'magic' that I felt was missing from it. Just don't ask me to move it!
