The Leica of turntables, its extra cost was recouped by the collection being preserved scratchless :-) Only hitch the cartridges are now hard to come by. Maybe the belts - some had direct motors - too? Hope this helps Philippe a Bang and Olufsen fan ======================================== Message du : 11/05/2013 07:36 De : "Dan Khong " <dankhong at gmail.com> A : lug at leica-users.org Copie ? : Sujet : [Leica] OT: Vinyl Record Turntables Hi LUGgers I recently developed an interest in playing old record style music with a new fashion turntable (one that has a little pre-amp built in so that I can connect the RCA cables on my mini-compo set). Of the many models available in Singapore, and on what I am happy to spend on a turntable, I have narrowed down to two sets both made by Lenco (a defunct Swiss company now bought over by a Dutch company and manufactured in a big country far from the Netherlands). There are two models in mind, The L82 is basic but costs a mere US$178 and the nicer one with wood finish is the L90 priced at $368. Can one really discern the difference in the quality of the music out-putted by these two devices? I will appreciate the views of our esteemed Leica *aficionados * who are knowledgeable in such low end sound equipment. Many thanks.
