Gilles130, sorry for confusing you with the other person. And thanks so much! Just read the review and Full Music seems like a great choice. And I'd much rather pay the Telefunken prices than the Mazda prices I'd seen. They seem rather expensive. I have yet to hear the Lenco but have read nothing but good things about it in virtually every forum I've seen. What arm/cartridge are you planning on using with it? You must be pretty handy to do the plinth yourself. As I have no skill in that department, I'll have to get help with that when the time comes to upgrade my analog gear. The Lenco certainly seems like a great contender. Even with the inflated prices at this time, it seems the cheapest possible entry into the idler wheel decks. Good luck! My next source upgrade is likely to be the digital front, and the Doge 6 is a contender given how much I'm enjoying the 8. I can't see spending much more than the Doge 6 price given the direction I'm moving, which is computer based digital source. But I'd like to have at least one nice CD player before upgrading my DAC and moving further in that direction. Analog will probably be a couple of years down the road, while I build up my vinyl collection again. I look forward to hearing how your Lenco project goes and will keep an eye out for any of your posts about the results.
