Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
Hi all, Idlers roll again...I have a pdf that has been given to me by Richard STEINFELD from Lenco Lovers. I contains some "bits" of "Da Thread" and you can get it at http://www.lenco-lovers.com/forum/ in the "Technical and General" section. It is not the whole thread, but at least 44 pages of tips and tricks: better than nothing ;-) "Faites rouler les galetets !!!" François. |
Hi guys, My little contribution to the Low Output MC topic: I have started using a DL-103 on my L59 with great pleasure but the upgrade virus bit me... so I went for the 103R and it was a real improvement in terms of listening pleasure (I don't even want to enter into precision, tracking ability, etc, terms: PURE PLEASURE!!!) then, I had the opportunity to purchase a 103D and this was once more more joy and happiness!!!Then I purchased an humble Denon AU300-LC step up...That was it!!! I am a happy guy with a simple set up and enjoy the music. Happy Lenco to all !!! |
Hi Tessera, I, as Lenco Lovers' admin saw that you registered over there. According to the series number, you are probably the owner of one of the oldest known L75. Another member has #005790(but there is a date on the motor: 20 oct 1967) and I have #006687 (date on the motor: 03 oct 1967). I think it would be of great interest, for all of us, if you would post on Lenco Lovers some pictures of your, as we call them, "Lencosaurus". It seems that a the very first days of the L75, features were not "stabilized" and each released piece was quite unique. Mine has a tonearm without the decoupled back stud and the other Lencosaurus has no rubber V-Blocks: all one plastic piece.... Hope to read some interesting things from you! François. |
Harvey, The fact that you don't agree with some points that have been generously and with no promoting idea explained don't turn them into b******t. Always nice to spend some time explaining things to people and get a rotten fish in the face at the end of the play...... Don't have anything else to add. François from LL. |
Oregon, You may have been joking, but you have a point though as many times, instead of building and testing, there is a bit too much theoretical discussions just going nowhere, but still something can be taken out of all the digressions and "mad scientist" considerations ;-) "This is an excellent thread. Sometimes things get a little rocky. I am familiar with Lenco Lovers and it is fantastic!" Thanks for the nice words! François. |
Though I don't use a L75 (GL55 with heavy platter mod) , my favourite combo, so far is Schick+SPU, but it's only a matter of personal taste in the end ;-) |
Hi Lewm, Do you mean this picture? http://img44.xooimage.com/files/1/4/4/2-ed6d2c.jpg This is a home made mod on the original Lenco bearing. The idea was to provide a firmer bottom for the spindle to rest on, firmer than the original metal disc and circlip. This is not a commercial product as I made it for my personal use. Rgds, F. |
Don't know if of any interest to anybody, but I will start making a moded Lenco in a panzerholz plinth/base. Details here: http://lenco.reference.xooit.fr/t146-Au-commencement.htm in French though..... Cheers, F. |
Gentlemen, My Panzerholz plinthed Lenco project is completed and for all those who might be interested in exploring less travelled roads in terms of plinth materials (not the usual birch ply or slate), I can suggest you to read the following: http://lenco.reference.xooit.fr/t551-damping-factors.htm Interesting things there ;-) F. |
Hi guys, Thanks to Goughary and Grant, the whole "Da Thread" is downloadble at: http://www.lenco-lovers.com/forum/ It is in the "Da Thread" thread. Though it is a zip. it's quite big, so be patient when downloading ;-) I hope this will put the word end on the whole issue ;-) François. |
