When we review thebest record playerswe tend to have a particular kind of listener in mind: a vinyl fan who already has a pretty sweet setup and who wants to either add a turntable or upgrade their existing one. But if you’re starting from scratch the choice can seem pretty daunting, because not only do you have to choose a turntable but you need to find an amp and speakers too. If that sounds like you, Lenco may have just the turntable.
The new Lenco LS-600WA is a turntable with a built-in amp, Bluetooth streaming and a pair of stereo speakers – all for £389.
Is an all-in-one sound system a sound buy?
That depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re a student looking for something suitable for uni accommodation or fancy a turntable for a smaller room then a compact all-in-one sounds like an ideal option.
Lenco isn’t really a household name in the UK but it’s a Swiss firm that recently celebrated its 75th year in the audio business. And the Lenco LS-600WA has a decent spec for the money: a carbon fibre arm with removable headshell, an integrated pre-amp and amp, a 280mm belt-driven metal platter with anti-skate, and Bluetooth 5.0. It’s encased in a nice-looking walnut cabinet, as are the 30W RMS speakers. The cartridge is an Audio Technica AT-VM95E and there are RCA outputs for future-proofing.
At this price, of course, there are bound to be compromises: you’re not going to get the same sonic magic as a four-figure setup. But hopefully you should get a better experience than we did with the even more affordableCrosley C62all-in-one package: with that one we liked its design but didn’t like listening to it, which defeats the purpose somewhat.
