About this deal

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.

You can evaluate results recording music with loudspeakers on and then compare recording done loudspeakers off. Drums were meaningful and full of character, while the accuracy of the electric guitar added a sense of transient speed. Well there are ways to test that theory without spending a fortune, and that is to add some neoprene O-rings around the arm. The S-shaped arm looks and feels flimsy and small but it is secured well with an arm lock to prevent accidents. Changing the supplied lead for the one off my Pro-Ject turntable made a noticeable difference, and sometimes it sounded a lot better.The unit arrives with a dust cover but I would recommend removing it during play to avoid noise from its rather shaky mounting. VTA was way out so I fitted a Vibrostop mat on top of the thin disco one that was supplied, perfect.

This refurbished version is in excellent condition, providing an affordable yet top-notch option for music enthusiasts. This single, yet essential, feature gives the turntable that one essential weapon in its sonic armoury, control.

We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. A USB digital output is also present that can be used with the included Audacity music editing software to enable digital recording of your analogue discs. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Ian told me that when Mike2000 had visited he left a copy of HiFi World with a review on the new Lenco direct drive by Noel Keywood which was very positive, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. 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?

This means you can effortlessly digitise your record collection - meaning your favourite songs will last forever. If VTA is a concern – and you’re right to be concerned, I agree – then a more tweakable design should really be your goal. Parties who do not comply with this will be required to pay compensation and be prosecuted in accordance with section 38. Plastick plinth is not big problem if player is only (in silend mode) used to move content to digital media. Only downside for me is that it will be difficult, and probably irreversible, to change the tonearm as it's base is moulded into the plinth.

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.
