But the biggest amount of fun is trying out the other really cheap tweaks to squeeze a little extra tightness to the sound. You can easily convert your vinyl records to a digital album via the USB cable, this way you can always enjoy your favourite music, wherever you are. The base is quite interesting as it appears that it must be a generic one used on other OEM decks - there are 5 holes marked for speed adjustment but none is available on the L-3808. I would be very grateful for your feedback on whether this is a good record player, and anything else I should know.
One other thing I should mention is that the whole plinth in thin plastic which really thuds through the speakers if you tap it but. VTA was way out so I fitted a Vibrostop mat on top of the thin disco one that was supplied, perfect. Arriving with a dust cover (do yourself a favour and play records with the lid off to lower noise pollution), the Lenco arrives with a small and anaemic looking S-shaped arm, complete with an arm lift and holding a removable headshell.Singles are thicker in the middle, they have a ridge where they used to grip each other in old-style record players where you stacked up the records. If you are unsure about a manual available in the desired language, just contact us and we will do what we can to help. With an attractive and timeless look, the Lenco L-3808 blends into any interior while allowing you to enjoy a classic sound. For the most part, Elliptical Styli are better than Conical type (round), such as the supplied Audio-Technica AT3600.
Ideal for parties, club sets and even weddings, the M101 is the perfect two-channel mixer for both aspiring and professional DJs. Changing the supplied lead for the one off my Pro-Ject turntable made a noticeable difference, and sometimes it sounded a lot better.It can be switched to accept an external phono amplifier too, something that I would highly recommend as soon as you can afford one to further increase sound quality.
Well there are ways to test that theory without spending a fortune, and that is to add some neoprene O-rings around the arm. This means that the platform is isolated from other vibrations in the room, but if I tap the shelf while a record is playing, you can see how important that is, the noise comes straight through the speakers. If reducing vibrations and increasing the weight of the arm brings about improvements, why not try it? Boasting a direct drive mechanism and built-in pre-amplifier, this turntable produces high-quality sound with low vibration. Grant fairly sparkled into a stereo image that pushed backwards as a 3D effect, allowing her big band orchestra to play around her.Jazz vocal from Gogi Grant provided textural orchestral trumpets giving an admirably brassy tone while retaining a measure of reverb to add energy. Inside the L-3808 the grounding and the two cold signal wires are connected together, and the only way to get hum is to use a poor quality stereo cable between the record deck and the phono pre-amp or phono input. The Lenco L-3808 is a versatile record player that suits the needs of any vinyl-scouring music-lover and comes with a dust cover to protect its vulnerable stylus and tone arm from any ecstatic children or excited pets running around the living room. There had been a big improvement using the Art-DJ unit compared to my old Behringer pre-amp, or the turntable’s built-in preamp, but together, with the Art-DJ and VanDamme lead together, records sound so much better.
Drums were meaningful and full of character, while the accuracy of the electric guitar added a sense of transient speed. The interconnect was Van Damme branded, their pic makes it look like there’s an earth wire between the two channel wires, but that’s just a plastic spacer. Plastick plinth is not big problem if player is only (in silend mode) used to move content to digital media. The L-3808 has and integrated stereo pre-amplifier and with RCA outputs and jacks included, you can hook this turntable up to your existing home stereo system. As promised, I’ll let you know of some of the hacks I’ve used to try to get a better sound on my record deck.It was of the cheap variety, meaning that you couldn’t change it, or you had to open up the base and make internal changes to the deck. Unfortunately, as manufacturers do not make manuals or guides in all languages, we cannot guarantee that a local language manual is included for the item. A USB digital output plus Audacity music editing software enables digital recording of your analogue discs. The costliest single upgrade I made was the Art-DJ preamp, and had I spent more on a record deck, I’d have needed to do this anyway, possibly even more money to match the potential of the record deck. But what about that strobe light and pop-up light (for DJ use) that will immediately warn you that this might be a sad little Technics 1200 rip off?
Great Deal
