About this deal

If you believe the hype, you will pay far more for a record deck without a tonearm, than one with, then pay even more again for a top quality tonearm. The Lenco L-3808 is a high-quality, professional direct-drive turntable particularly suited for DJs. But what about that strobe light and pop-up light (for DJ use) that will immediately warn you that this might be a sad little Technics 1200 rip off?

Singles are thicker in the middle, they have a ridge where they used to grip each other in old-style record players where you stacked up the records. Until recently, the more expensive Audio-Technica LP120 deck had a built-in phono lead hanging out the back. But the biggest amount of fun is trying out the other really cheap tweaks to squeeze a little extra tightness to the sound. The now discontinued Audio-Technica AT95E has a sound which is perceived by many to be one of the best at the low end of the market.The compact and robust design is highly portable, easily withstanding the rigours of day-to-day live use.

A USB digital output plus Audacity music editing software enables digital recording of your analogue discs. There had been a big improvement using the Art-DJ unit compared to my old Behringer pre-amp, or the turntable’s built-in preamp, but together, with the Art-DJ and VanDamme lead together, records sound so much better. It was of the cheap variety, meaning that you couldn’t change it, or you had to open up the base and make internal changes to the deck. Lenco has been designing, manufacturing and supplying quality turntables to vinyl enthusiasts across the globe for over 70 years.This means that the platform is isolated from other vibrations in the room, but if I tap the shelf while a record is playing, you can see how important that is, the noise comes straight through the speakers.

The L-3808 has and integrated stereo pre-amplifier and with RCA outputs and jacks included, you can hook this turntable up to your existing home stereo system. If you get upgrades from your internet provider, which include new modems, the old modem may be worthless by this time, but its power supply is often far better than the ones supplied with other items. Yes I know he's also involved with HiFi World but again it was a good review and at the end was a discount code to get 25% off at http://www. This means you can effortlessly digitise your record collection - meaning your favourite songs will last forever.

The unit arrives with a dust cover but I would recommend removing it during play to avoid noise from its rather shaky mounting.

One other thing I should mention is that the whole plinth in thin plastic which really thuds through the speakers if you tap it but. Well there are ways to test that theory without spending a fortune, and that is to add some neoprene O-rings around the arm. Apart from the stereo image being rock solid and central, the bass was noticeably heavier than normal with a heft and weight that added significant presence to the entire track.

Fitted within the chassis is a cheap phono amplifier (very similar to the model found within the Dual, incidentally). For the most part, Elliptical Styli are better than Conical type (round), such as the supplied Audio-Technica AT3600. I am using an old Alessis RA100 amp with no treble/bass controls and a pair of old Gale Reference monitors - It sounds like I am in the recording studio listening to the final master mixes of these amazing songs and music! I only used 70cm of the wire to make my phono lead, and here’s a spare one I made with the remaining 30cm when the plugs arrived.Grant fairly sparkled into a stereo image that pushed backwards as a 3D effect, allowing her big band orchestra to play around her.
