Modified Lenco vs TW Raven

Hello,
I have a TW Acustic Raven for a few years now. I made different upgrades along the last 3 years : new battery PSU and 3 motors in a round shape. I was thinking about the last upgrade (for me) : the BN platter and new bearing when I heard for the first time to modified Lenco by TJN. I read most of what there is to read for a non DIY, and there is a lot...
Before deciding if a make the jump I'd like to know if some in the community have made the same decision : I mean going from a top belt TT to a top idler wheel. I think of the ref models from Jean Nantais and tell me if they are happy now.
Thank you for helping

I had a Rega P3, VPI TNT (even tried the Teres Verus drive on it), Sony PS-X7, TTW Audio rim drive, Luxman PD121. I prefer my modified Lenco to all of them. It is the most accurate reproduction of sound and has the highest speed stability.

My Lenco only has the idler wheel, and 60 hz motor from a B-55. The stainless steel platter and bearing are from Mirko. I have Peter's PTP5 and a 3 inch solid maple plinth. Tonearm is the VPI JMW12.5, Denon DLS1. I have 2 platter matts from TTW (copper and an alloy one).

Have you brought your question to Lenco Heaven?

Barbapapa, I have a WAV24 file to which I can give you access and you can judge for yourself. I use a Tascam DA3000 for the digital recording. Just send me a PM and type of music you would like to hear.
