This started life as a Reference Lenco MKI, and was steadily upgraded over the years to a full Reference Lenco MKIII before finally being traded towards an Ultimate Lenco. The recipe for my Reference plinths has not changed over the years, after all it is proven, the only ‘tables in…

Very Rare Goldring Lenco ’88 in 75-pound Classic plinth, fully updated to MKII specifications This was Goldring’s design, an answer to the Garrard “motor unit” style.

PLUS FRESHLY-REBUILT GRAHAM 2.2 TONEARM This is the ‘table which both proved my claims for the extreme levels of potential locked in both idler-wheel-drives in general, and the Lenco in particular, opening the door to the countless Lenco-rebuilding businesses currently populating the planet. But is still THE record player which…
