VPI TNT Mk II. Loved it, lubed it, tweaked the hell out of it, but couldn't make it sound as good as the Lenco.
What tt 's have you sold after getting a Lenco?
I'm intrigued to see what happens here. Since Johnnantais's monster thread has been running for 2 years i feel it would be great to see what turntables people have put to one side after having replinthed and re-armed a Lenco. There have been, I know, some very expensive TT's sold to make way for a Lenco.
I personally replinthed a Lenco GL75 and have an OL Silver arm and Denon DL103R cart on it now. I then sold a Thorens TD160 and a Garrard 401 on a nice plinth. One caveat here is that, while my Lenco beat my Garrard in every way, Johnnantais has managed to get a Garrard 301 to sound to him very close to a Lenco.

I sold my beloved Well Tempered Classic after hearing a replinthed Lenco L-75. It was no contest, better bass, better focus, better pace, better everything. Once you see one the engineering advantages are obvious; these are serious, solid well thought out vinyl spinners that make the modern acrylic plattered belt drives look well.... cheap! I've owned two Lencos for 1 1/2 years now (both plastic and metal idler wheel models) and they are completely reliable, speed stable and dead quiet. |
No need Goatwuss, just snag one at Ebay and follow the Lenco thread here at Audiogon. Here is my project, completed for a few hundred dollars. Lots of fun and superb sound for the buck. Lenco |
