Unfortunately, I don't know what model it is? It's powered by a valve amp. So damned cute. My niece isn't sure what to do with it - to restore and sell or just sell as is? Might post in another forum to gather ideas.

Correct.

 

Other is an SME3012R, which I'll use with a Denon DL-102 mono cart I've just ordered.

They are my children.

 

I love them all equally (but like the Dyn the most)   :D

Some of my other "children":

 

I think one might be gay.

 

Another excels at sports, especially golf (and fishing)

 

The other is just very idle.

 

BUT of course, I love them all the same! "wink, wink" :love

It's a bit of a **** post I know but I'm proud of my baby, I've just received the thick (16mm) aluminium slab baseplate and attached it - it fits like a glove. The Lenco is finally finished :)

The only possible additions could be a metal logo, and a custom made dust cover.

 

Suffice to say it sounds quite tremendous, and at least on a par with some pretty serious plattenspielers I have heard (yes Avid Volvere, Linn LP12, Clearaudio etc I'm looking at you). That's my personal view, of course.

So you're back from Shore leave?

 

Yes, you need to add your Vofo logo and a nice bit of plastic from Cambria to that serious bit of plinth.

 

PS. You have great taste in arms ;)

Very Nice Gazza. Wish I had the patients and skills to do such a fine job.

I like the low profile deck, not a fan of stacked platters.

What mat are you using?

I have a 6mm/3kg stainless steel mat on my Lenco, works well. Yours with the creators looks very cool.

Agree, dismissing the stacked platters is good, that solution always looks really amateurish to me. Yours is a beauty well done.

Yep Citroen, back from my floating Butlins holiday camp oil rig - but going back tomorrow :-(

I'll get Cambrian to make a dustcover, and I do have a couple of Vofo badges left from my speaker build I could use: a bit big though I reckon...

And the arms are both Jaffa's, James' Siggwan is a stunner & the Wand isn't far off it in terms of performance.

And Awty, the platter mat is made by Oxaide, a nice 5mm slab of spun alloy.

I guess my main inspiration for the Lenco in terms of looks was the Artisan Fidelity Technics SP10, I just loved the low profile on that platter.

Mmmmm!

I'm not sure how Simon would like being called a Jaffa :)

Yet another 301 :rolleyes:  ... on kauri plinth, sized for as-yet undecided 12" tonearm. Thinking possibly Ortofon ... suggestions? I have already used NZ-designed/made Wand and Siggwan arms with other Garrards.
