However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

Its LS-410WA belt-driven Bluetooth turntable with four built-in speakers, reviewed here, is a hybrid turntable covering aspects of all the types described above, to more or less some degree. If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered With all four speakers so close together, it's practically a mono experience, so yes, dedicated mono records do come across very well. Flipping through The Beatles' remastered 7" vinyl box set, for example, is a lot of sonic fun. The On/Off/Mode button cycles through the various output options, which is more straightforward. Play/Pause controls the rotation of the turntable platter, which is essentially start and stop. Lenco suggests that you may wish to 'pause' a record halfway through, leaving the needle in place in the groove, but honestly we've never done this, or wanted to do it, in all our years of vinyl listening. Something about the needle dragging in the groove as the turntable gradually builds up speed again from zero to 45rpm seems wrong, to us.

Lenco LS-55WA Turntable with Bluetooth and MP3 Encoding Overview

Speed accuracy was good, but speed stability mediocre, warbling and drunkeness being obvious on a test tone (W&F=0.4%).

There are four speakers, arranged in a line array, projecting sound from behind the grille in the front underneath the aluminium platter. There are no side speakers, so the sound from the two 15-watt speakers and two 10-watt speakers is coming directly at you. Ideal for integrating into your existing home hi-fi setup, the LS-55WA comes with an RCA line-level output for compatibility with most hi-fi setups and several input options such as AUX and Bluetooth. The LS-55WA can also be used standalone thanks to the onboard stereo amplifier pushing out 2 x 5 watts for a clear and enjoyable listening experience without the need for additional speakers.

Manual

If you're coming from a more premium turntable – one of Lenco's own higher-end models, for example, like the fine L-92WA anniversary model – the LS-410WA does have more of a 'flimsy' plastic feel, with its spindly tone arm and lever. Questionable functionality aside, the LS-410WA is a solid turntable offering to suit a specific niche. This particular model is styled as 'Walnut' (hence the WA in the product name), although that's not solid wood you're seeing. It's actually a walnut-themed vinyl covering – and not all that expertly applied on our review model. It does look nice from a distance, at least, and would slot stylishly into any modern space.
