Its LS-410WA belt-driven Bluetooth turntable with four built-in speakers, reviewed here, is a hybrid turntable covering aspects of all the types described above, to more or less some degree.
To be fair, this is a compact system with a lot of great features and while it doesn’t sound bad, it’s not going to be as good as the likes of the more professional Lenco L-3809 turntable I reviewed a few weeks ago. That said, if all you want is a walk down memory lane and the chance to take those old LPs for another spin, the LS-55 is more than adequate. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. Released: 4th September 2021. The LS-55 is a beautiful wooden turntable with built-in stereo speakers. The Lenco LS-55WA is a high-quality, belt-driven turntable with modern features to suit every need. Capable of playing virtually every size of vinyl from 7" to 12" with two-speed settings of 33 1/3 and 45 RPM, you will be able to play all of your favourite records exactly how they were intended. The classy natural wooden finish would feel right at home in any setup and add class and decorum to your home hi-fi system. The LS-55WA comes complete with a dust cover lid to protect your turntable when not in use and an adjustable counterweight.The controls of the LS-410WA are somewhat cryptic. There's a volume dial, an On/Off/Mode button, a Play/Pause button, and separate buttons for 33rpm and 45rpm. However, there's no indication as to which speed is actually selected – the buttons have no downward travel at all, nor any illuminating lights – so your best bet is to look at the turntable as it rotates and guess by eye. Or ear, as you'll soon know if the record is playing at the wrong speed! Now, you can either dial down the internal speakers to zero using the volume knob onboard, and let your bigger external speakers feed your soul, or you can find a sweet spot where the Lenco acts like a 'third' speaker to blend with and complement your stereo pair. We liked this approach to add a bit of the Lenco's 'sparkle' to the overall sound. This definitely works best when the Lenco is centred between two speakers, so you don't cause the sound to become lopsided. Speed accuracy was good, but speed stability mediocre, warbling and drunkeness being obvious on a test tone (W&F=0.4%). If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered One of the most unique and useful features of the Lenco LS-55WA turntable is the integrated USB port. This USB connection gives you the ability to convert your vinyl record collection into digital audio formats. This makes digitising your record collection easier than ever before. Simply connect the turntable to your computer via the USB port and start capturing your vinyl records in any audio software program. Specification
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.So there you are.This budget turntable offers a lot and looks good. It even has auto-power off with a spoken warning that took me by surprise; there’s a woman in the house, where’s she hiding? Under the turntable! The On/Off/Mode button cycles through the various output options, which is more straightforward. Play/Pause controls the rotation of the turntable platter, which is essentially start and stop. Lenco suggests that you may wish to 'pause' a record halfway through, leaving the needle in place in the groove, but honestly we've never done this, or wanted to do it, in all our years of vinyl listening. Something about the needle dragging in the groove as the turntable gradually builds up speed again from zero to 45rpm seems wrong, to us.
Great Deal
