More options

Around the back are a couple more options, starting with dual RCA phono outputs, for connection to an external amplifier or powered speakers, which can be switched between phono or line out modes depending on what you’re connecting to. There’s also a 3.5mm aux input for connecting external gear to the speakers via a cable. So you are able to send the audio from the vinyl out to bigger speakers if you want though only over an analogue connection. It would have been nice to see a USB option here to send audio to a computer for playback and also for digitising your records, especially since this model is at the pricier end of Lenco’s lineup.

Most audiophiles are going to go for a dedicated separates system and the associated costs that entails, but this all-in-one system is a great way to enjoy your vinyl collection with the minimum of fuss and wiring. It looks good, sounds decent and doesn’t cost the earth. Adding USB audio would have been the icing on the cake. Hollin Jones
