Lenco LS-55

The LS-50 with Bluetooth added — receive from your phone or play records through the built-in speakers.

Who it suits

Best suited to: listening with zero extra equipment — the speakers are built in. Less ideal for: anyone who cares about sound quality — the built-in speakers limit every deck in this category more than the turntable mechanism does; anyone who wants a manufacturer warranty — this model is no longer sold new.

Compatibility and setup

• Manual operation: you cue and lift the tonearm by hand at the start and end of each side — there’s no auto-return or auto-lift.

Good to know

• The built-in speakers make this self-contained. External speakers will usually give a larger, clearer sound if the player provides an audio output.
• Can transmit over Bluetooth as well as a wired output. A wired connection avoids Bluetooth codec compression.
• Has a USB output for recording vinyl to a computer.
• This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history — for this drive type, check the drive belt (often perished or stretched with age) and bearing, plus the stylus regardless.
