Johnnantais. I give you 11 out of 10 for trying, but you are crossing the line into the ridiculous.
'So here's some actual facts'
A few opinions posted on the BB are hardly facts. And no, simply because you really like these opinions dont make them facts either.
'there is bass in abundance (not a noted Koetsu characteristic)'
Really? I guess I must have an odd Koetsu as my Rosewood pounds at the bass.
'fantastic dynamics, energy, slam, PRaT, call it what you will, and the detail and clarity are stunning'
I have heard people say that about iPods. Can we get a respected audio journalist/critique to say that about a Lenco? Maybe, but I have yet to see that.
'I have been listening to some serious money turntables over the last few months and the budget Lenco beats most of them'
Really? In home or a 10-15 minute listen at an audio show or store? Did you listen to material you are familiar with or not? Are you familiar with neutral and accurate sound, or used to a particular coloration produced by your own equipment? Was the associated equipment the same. What about the arm and carts used? Room acoustics?
Added note having endured a (painful) karaoke evening a few weeks ago, it was obvious that some individuals actually prefer a colored (read distorted, boomy and smeared) sound. Those individuals are totally unimpressed by an accurate and natural representation of music.
No, I have not listened to a Lenco or Garrard. I have however spend many hours listening to a well restored and well setup TD124. The sound was very colored and there was a very noticeable lack of low level detail. Not nice ...
