LS-500BK

At its core is a classic belt drive with two speeds (33 and 45 rpm), an aluminum disc, a transparent dust cover and a cartridge from Audio-Technica, a well-known Japanese company that even experienced listeners trust. The needle is the AT3600L model, simple, reliable, with good detail, great for initial and daily listening. The tonearm is straight, with anti-skating and the ability to manually adjust the pressing force.

The speakers are included in the kit - passive bookshelf speakers that connect directly to the player's built-in amplifier. The power is more than enough: 60 watts (30 for each channel), so it will fill the room with sound and give a pleasant dynamic. The sound is sincere, open, with good balance. Suitable for jazz, modern indie music, and even light rock.

There is Bluetooth - and not for sound output, but for reception: the LS-500 can easily become a regular Bluetooth speaker if necessary. This is convenient: you can listen to Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music without unnecessary cables, and at the same time have the same set in the living room. You switch the mode - and vinyl again.

The design is at its best. The option with a wooden finish looks warm and cozy, black - restrained and modern. The acrylic dust cover emphasizes the vintage aesthetics. Everything looks solid and neat, nothing superfluous.

Lenco LS-500 - for those who want to get a classic vinyl experience, but do not want to spend months selecting components. Connected, turned on, put a record - and enjoy. The ideal option for a start, a great gift and just a good musical mood in your home.
