@AudioAdvice just letting you know, when people ask me what they need to get to get started, I'm going to aim them right to your website for these TT's. Like my comment above states, we were astounded at the value of them at AAL. Congrats on a great show!
What would be impressive is if the company that calls itself Lenco today had the balls to manufacture a heavy platter turntable and give it the aesthetic of the classic L75 or L78, and pitch it price wise a step above these Fluance wannabees instead.
@VinylLatte you asked me what was impressive for me at AAL and I've got to admit, this room not only impressed me, it made me mad as fire! I spent $400 on my daughter's AT TT and active Klipsch speakers back at Christmas and it's just junk. I'm here to tell you, for $400 that piece of kit at the right end of the table with the two speakers was a phenomenal value for $400. The $299 turntable is solid feeling and a carbon fiber arm and AT cart. Look, that $300 TT is a $600> buy in almost any other brand. There is a lot of value in these rigs. They are cheap, but they are not cheaply made whatsoever. The build quality is impressive at this price point. My wife was impressed as well.
I was completely impressed as well! I immediately called one of my mates and told them to check them out as he's in the market for a budget table. I'm also considering picking one up for our guest room 🤫
Bluetooth in a vinyl player is what leaves a bull on his rear. Why do we prefer vinyl when we could have all the contents on streaming platforms? Because of the supireor analog sound! Converting that in the player using a cheap ADC is just ridiculous and shows that the guys who bought the rights on the old brand Lenco are more into building toys but HiFi.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I get where you’re coming from about Bluetooth. For those who appreciate the true analogue experience, the Lencos have RCAs to connect directly to your 2-channel system, which is great. The Bluetooth feature is more of a marketable option, especially aimed at getting the younger generation interested in vinyl. However, I agree that those who are serious about the hobby might gravitate towards a different turntable at a different price point.
Sorry but this reeks of sales promotion rather than objectivity. There seems to be minimal bass to this set up - trebly sound might be "cool" but is appalling for serious listening - buy yourself a Crosley and save some money if this sort of sound suits you
No need to be sorry, the gentleman showing through turntables works for Lenco. This is a sneak peek for new budget tables about to hit the U.S., not a review. They will be an option for buyers considering Audio Technica, U-turn, and/or Fluance at that price point.
Nice looking table but you're correct. Sounds like some bass is missing and sounds tinny which is disappointing because it has a carbon fiber tone arm. I actually have a Crosley C8 turntable which is very good and well built and it definitely sounds better than what's going on here.
I believe the reason the sound comes off tinny is due to the recording and not the turntable itself. The microphone didn’t do a great job capturing the audio, you can hear it in the voices let alone the music.
We are excited to bring these to our website! This should be a great option for a lot of people getting into vinyl! Thanks for an awesome video!
They are beautiful entry-level tables! Thank you for being the first to bring them to the US and having them on display at Audio Advice Live! 💪

How do these new Lencos stack up against my Target Heyday BT turntable with Audio Technica cartridge?
Great question! I'd love to spend time with one and give it a review. 👍

Worst turntable review/new product intro I've ever seen.
It was a sneak peek, not a review 👍
@@VinylLatte In other words - a warning.
