Lenco 75 vs Thorens 124 vs Garrard 301/401 Who is The King?

Now that is dangerous advice Mr Latte! I really do like the look of the 124 but my new year's resolution is- less is more. Happy '12

The only idlers I have ever owned (and still own) are DUAL's. I've heard the Thoren's and Garrard as well of a vinyl buddies but have never heard a Lenco. I'm in hot pursuit of a L-78 but alas it has evaded me so far. So until I own another brand I guess my 1219 is king...

Or the classic

'That old thing? I found it in the cellar/garage/shed when I was having a clearout/spring clean and thought I'd better test it before putting it on eBay.'

Say it with a mild look of disgust, hinting that you will be glad to see the back of it, just as soon as you are sure it's all running OK

Unfortunatly the 'testing period' may take rather a long time, maybe even years .
