The L-3818BK is part of Lenco's successful L-3808 family, with direct-drive (the technology DJs prefer over belt-drive) and pitch control to adjust speed. The built-in USB port allows direct connection to your PC or Mac to easily digitize your vinyl collection, and the built-in preamp (switchable on or off) guarantees a strong output signal without needing a mixer with its own phono input.
With 22 reviews and a 4.0/5 average, backing is still modest. The magnetic pickup system and anti-vibration feet make this a reasonable entry option for anyone who wants to start with vinyl without spending much, whether for home listening or taking first steps as a DJ.
