deepak Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 My prettiest Lenco thus far. Dust cover not installed yet. Other picture- nearly 4" of bubble wrap around the plinth/motor section. About as much on the dust cover packed in a separate box.
jp11801 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 now all you need is De Wood to build you a plinth and you are all set oh plus a modern arm... I have heard that the stock 75s sound great but the updated ones sound superb almost the equal of the 301/401 How are you liking the idler sound
luvdunhill Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 I'm thinking about trying a Transfiguration Axia. Has anyone heard it?
deepak Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 now all you need is De Wood to build you a plinth and you are all set oh plus a modern arm... I have heard that the stock 75s sound great but the updated ones sound superb almost the equal of the 301/401 How are you liking the idler sound Hard to gauge the sound quality in a stock configuration because the tonearm is quite primitive. Once modded I am a big fan of idlers. I think I should be able to do the plinth by myself, the mods are well documented, but someone else would have to do the finish. Contacting Dr Wood is another good idea numbs .I'm not sure what to go for as far as tonearm (budget under $1000 used, Moerch?) I like the Graham Phantom and Tri-Planar but they are out of my budget at the moment.
luvdunhill Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 I am using a AT-1005mk2 which I really like, but the Moerch is a good choice. Depends really on the cartridge I guess. Played with the new RB301 this weekend and am not a huge fan... from the new mounting style to the goofy anti-skate adjustment, to the rough finish on the headshell. I prefer the older design.

deepak Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I am using a AT-1005mk2 which I really like, but the Moerch is a good choice. Depends really on the cartridge I guess. Played with the new RB301 this weekend and am not a huge fan... from the new mounting style to the goofy anti-skate adjustment, to the rough finish on the headshell. I prefer the older design. My thinking might be off here- but I wasn't thinking of getting a high mass tonearm since medium mass tonearms seem to go well with a wider variety of modern cartridges. Maybe I just need to hear a "vintage" design cartridge I like, but so far it seems like I'm a Dynavector and Zyx type of person. Edited July 12, 2010 by deepak

luvdunhill Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 The yokeless concept (either single or double ring) is an interesting one, and a better technical solution than the conventional MC design, and perhaps better than the unconventional designs (those being ZYX and Miyajima). I'll probably try one out at some point.
swt61 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Nice deepak! This one here is flippin gorgeous, but way overpriced IMO... Lenco L75 Heirloom For Sale | AudiogoN

nikongod Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 Craigslist FTW. Vinylengine It weighs 37 pounds. Thats not so bad except that its mounted at shoulder level The arm seems like it will be a good match for a Grado or other medium-high compliance cart which is perfect since there is a DL-s1 in route and I have a bunch of Grados.
mypasswordis Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Dang, looks like a good find. Have you opened it up yet? And do you prefer low mass tonearms + higher compliance carts? Speaking of CL, this could be kind of interesting: JVC SRC-900 Vintage Idler Wheel Turntable That, or complete junk. Thoughts?
Dusty Chalk Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 I know exactly which Jungle Book he's talking about, I grew up on that too (although I didn't grow up on the picture disk). But..."He Poos Clouds"?

mypasswordis Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 Poor Stretch And it was very inhuman of the roommate to give away his LPs. There's also a Mitsu LT-22 FS on CL. Must resist.
jp11801 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 got the repairs done on the OL Sovreign compleed and the motor and motor control unit are now on their way back to me!!! Vinyl in about a week.
DigiPete Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 My vinyl rig is down now also: Getting a Mike New 14lb Platter heavy duty bearing with stiffener plate and new heavy copper armboard When its all done it should be fairly substantial. Also building a new power supply using this hi-perf module as the basis from Paul Hynes

But..."He Poos Clouds"? I have He Poos Clouds on vinyl too, although I got it from Zanth in the xmas exchange not from a crate by the side of the road. got the repairs done on the OL Sovreign compleed and the motor and motor control unit are now on their way back to me!!! Vinyl in about a week. :jbl: Sound like some cool mods, Pete. Let us know the results.
nikongod Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 Dang, looks like a good find. Have you opened it up yet? And do you prefer low mass tonearms + higher compliance carts? I have not opened it, and don't plan to I downloaded the FSM from vinylengine, and it is way too hardcore. This TT sounds really good with the DL-s1 I just got. It took very little effort (align, set VTF, set antiskate) to get a nice 3-d soundstage. Im quite happy. Has anyone experimented with inverting opamps for 0-ohm input impedance with MC carts? I combined the front end of the RJM phonoclone link with the Passive-riaa opamp phonostage like he describes HERE and am quite happy with the results. Im still up in the air whether I prefer my SUT or this.
deepak Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 I'm still interested in trying Peter Daniel's phono stage, but no one has offered input on it 70 db of gain with my DL-103 would be great for my TVC. Without a SUT the Denon/Pearl is unusable in my speaker setup
