Lenco L-3808 Matte Black Digital USB Record Player (Black)
'Cheap'? Yes. 'Chinese'? Yes. 'Light'? Yes.
But performs far better than it ought to at the price!
The supplied cartridge tracks superbly well - even on hard to track records that give real problems even for more expensive equipment. Tracking is way better than my REGA P1 managed straight out of the box with the Rega Carbon! That was a big disappointment! It took radical up-grade to get it to work as it should - back to the shop and all sorts of problems.
The LENCO was A1 from the start. It sounds precise and responds surprisingly well to the lightest signal and the biggest noise a full-on orchestra produces.
Given the difficulty of finding really pristine records (esp used items!) I see very little point in spending loads of money for marginal improvements.
I'm very pleased with this item - whatever the 'Audio' 'HiFi' reviewers say with their ridiculously priced 'jewelry' and the unending up-grades - always inviting you to spend more tuntil your dissatisfied again after the next month's reviews come out!
Great item. Great service.
