I have a super inexpensive Brookstone record player that can also rip music 
with a plug in for a flash drive along with a plug in for a simple SD 
card(2gb or less).? My only gripe with it is that it can only handle 45/33 
rpm and not 78!? But it acts also as a stand alone player with built in 
speakers, besides it's ability to rip MP3 files.? It's a lot of fun!

Hi LUGgers

I recently developed an interest in playing old record style music with a
new fashion turntable (one that has a little pre-amp built in so that I can
connect the RCA cables on my mini-compo set).

Of the many models available in Singapore, and on what I am happy to spend
on a turntable, I have narrowed down to two sets both made by Lenco (a
defunct Swiss company now bought over by a Dutch company and manufactured
in a big country far from the Netherlands).

There are two models in mind, The L82 is basic but costs a mere US$178 and
the nicer one with wood finish is the L90 priced at $368. Can one really
discern the difference in the quality of the music out-putted by these two
devices?

I will appreciate the views of our esteemed Leica *aficionados *
who are knowledgeable in such low end sound equipment. Many thanks.

Dan K.
