Yep, that worked fine, too.
But the rechargeable ones make so much more sense, especially as I already had a suitable charger!

Oh yeah, defo… Still enjoying the little Lentek, then? :)
Marco.
It is a thing of joy and wonder. :thumbsup:
--- out of curiosity, and as a sanity check, I went back to the MC input on my 'stage a few days ago --- as much as I enjoyed it before, the Lentek is just sooooo much better!
Happy days :cool:
In 30-odd years of playing around with vinyl, I’ve yet to encounter an MM/MC phono stage which, with an MC cartridge, doesn’t sound better through the MM section, via a head-amp or SUT. The closest one was the Vida, which Guy Sergeant sells, but still no cigar.
Dunno why that happens (as technically, it shouldn’t), but that’s what my experience tells me! :)
Marco.
Flippin' heck. The problem with having a day off is looking through old posts I've missed and my interest being piqued by the Lentek. Oh well, one should be on its way soon :lol: And there's me thinking my system was perfectly fine last night!
Can't wait to see what all the fuss is about ;)
I bought this monster a few months ago - Rotel RA1412 - 'untested' on eBay, so of course it didn't work.

But I only intended it as an ornament anyway. :) I think it looks amazing. :stalks:
-- a few button and switch covers missing, and only one meter light works - but hey, at my vintage I'm not exactly 100% either. :eyebrows:
But recently I wanted my big NAD amp checked out, so I took the Rotel along to the hifi doc as well to see if anything could be done ....
.... 1 week and £84.70 later it is back home and sounding fecking WONDERFUL !! :eek: There's excellent clarity, superb bass control and a simply magisterial sense of power, and while not tonally neutral it has a 'musical' colouration that would certainly impress Andy / Tarzan. :lol:
I'll now be taking the beast to Scalford this year - come and visit us - Syndicate 2, 1st floor. :thumbsup:
That should sound wooley :eyebrows:
Really lovely amp. Just wondering if a 3d printing specialist could print out the missing buttons and switch covers using the existing ones as a template.
