Combining modern technology with a classic design this turntable’s luxurious wood finish compliments the decor of any room. Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty The LS-55 has an impressive range of features and ability at a ridiculously low price. Moreover, it looks and feels good in the flesh, even if the arm and platter don’t bear close inspection. It is a three-speed (33,45,78rpm) belt drive with auto-start at arm lift and optional auto-stop (but not lift).There’s an onboard stereo amplifier rated at 5W per channel, with small loudspeakers on the plinth’s underside.With a well built wooden plinth sitting on solid legs, the volume control is easy to use and it does not upset play, the plinth and arm sitting on a spring isolation system. Nice hinged dust cover too.
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.You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. 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.
If you're coming from a more premium turntable – one of Lenco's own higher-end models, for example, like the fine L-92WA anniversary model – the LS-410WA does have more of a 'flimsy' plastic feel, with its spindly tone arm and lever. However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. There are four speakers, arranged in a line array, projecting sound from behind the grille in the front underneath the aluminium platter. There are no side speakers, so the sound from the two 15-watt speakers and two 10-watt speakers is coming directly at you. 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. 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
