Spoke directly with Christopher from Artisan Fidelity at some length about the idea of using a power conditioner or regenerator with a Lenco L75. He said they and several of their customers had tried several top ac line conditioner devices with the Lenco but none of them (at least at this point) had proved to be something which he would recommend investing large dollars in. What he did recommend though was to plug their lenco's directly into the wall with a high quality power cable and nice quality outlet recepticle and even dedicated lines (in a perfect world) if you really wanted the Lenco to be at its best. He mentioned specific details also about proper grounding of their lenco and garrard 301 tables but I can't remember exactly what....it was a long day that day...knowledgeable guy though btw
Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply
Been thinking about this recently...Does it even make sense to try to find someone willing to build a power supply for turntables such as the Lenco L75 or Garrard 301 when they were made to just be plugged directly into the wall ac in the first place??
Loricroft makes ones for the 301 that convert ac to dc then back to "perfect" ac again which is what something like a Pure Power ac line conditioner/regenerator does. The neat thing about the Loricroft is that you can apparently adjust the 301's speed with it. It would be trick to find something like that for a Lenco 75 that was not so expensive.
PS audio used to make some big line re-conditioners that did the same sort of thing I think back in the day but I don't know if they are making the same equipmnet still. Furman and a couple others I think do similar things also.
What would be neat would be to find a ac regenerator that you could use to control the speed of either a 301, 401 or Lenco 75. Since they are all AC and can run at 110 or 220 volts maybe its possible, I don;t know but I know the Loricroft controller is way way expensive is it really worth $4000 bucks?? Thats almost as much as a restored 301 or top Lenco....geesh
Maybe you could just save the 4000 bucks and build one??/ Could it really be that tough?..
