About the Reference II

The Lenco Reference II is a meticulously rebuilt and modified idler-drive turntable by Jean Nantais, designed to deliver exceptional analog playback performance. It features a heavy, vibration-absorbing wooden plinth and a precision-machined platter that enhances speed stability and sonic detail. The turntable is known for its dead silence from mechanical noise, accurate speed control, and ability to reveal musical detail with clarity and energy. It is highly regarded for its dynamic transient response, bass control, and natural musical flow, making it a favorite among audiophiles seeking a lifetime-quality analog experience. The Reference II model helped establish the Lenco rebuilding market and is praised for extracting more information from records than many higher-priced competitors. It typically comes with custom tonearm mounting options and can be tailored with various finishes and configurations.
