I tried Lenco’s gorgeous and affordable new wireless turntable, and this will be hard to beat for the money

In Lenco CES 2025 demo room, the nearly 80-year-old brand demonstrated its excellence in the vibration department by playing a The best of Earth, wind and fire vinyl on their recently announced Lenco LBT-215BK turntable.

Combining modern styling with a gorgeous piano black finish and silver detailing makes this one of the best looking turntables you can get for its £299 available price – US buyers won’t get the LBT-215BK until April at a cost of $359. And gosh, Americans are missing a lot until then.

The LBT-215BK is a mid-level turntable that supports playback speeds of 33 and 45 RPM, it is equipped with an Audio-Technica AT-VM95E Moving Magnetic Cartridge. Playback was smooth and rich while pumping out Reasons through some speakers from Kanto behind.

All those musical guts were warm as the song about a night night (ironically also considered a wedding classic) had a lot of background thanks to the stereo pre-amp integrated in the LBT-215BK.
