Labour of love. Just love the passion that went into all this.
Congratulations. This is an absolute beauty. Enjoy music
the sound is still a work in progress ! but you know it feels good..need to figure out the reason for some frequency getting cutoff...must be the roomCongratulations @arj this looks like a beauty. I'm sure it sounds great too.
Great looking TT. Happy listening @arjSo far the sound is very good. the organic quality of the 401 comes through .
Congratulations ! Setting up the Lenco was an interesting and learning experience and yes the plinth and tonearm are the right places to start.Congratulations! I bet it sounds as lovely as it looks.
I bought a Lenco L75/S this past year, and am very taken with that idler sound, even stock 9the arm is picking up some noise, though). The plan is to make a heavy CLD plinth with scrap plywood and MDF in the garage, mount a Grace or Rega arm on the plinth (fingers crossed this will eliminate the noise from the stock arm, which I believe it is picking up either from the top plate or being near the motor with poorly shielded wire). Once I get it sounding to my liking, I will make a proper one with quality wood.
Here's to that amazing idler sound! Whoot!

By noise level do you mean any electrical Hum or a mechanical background noise ?
You cold do a very simple experiment..take the Lenco out of the current plinth and rest it "Nude" on bricks on each corner ie each corner is elevated with a brick/Stone. now check the noise level ( if latter). if you do see a benefit a plinth will definitely help.
For a rega , it is not a drop in replacment for the Lenco ie the hole needs to be slightly modified ( a Linn drops in as is). Not sure of the Grace though !
