Lenco's direct drive turntable combines minimalism with Hi-Fi credentials

Lenco has taken to IFA 2025 to unveil its latest selection of audiophile level hardware, and leading that pack is the LBT-515 record player.

The LBT-515 is a direct-drive turntable with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and quart-controlled drive for the most precision possible in such a minimal design.

The 515 also features anti-skating, adjustable pitch control, gold-plated connectors, a switchable preamp, and built-in RIAA equaliser. All those classic features are also supported by digital connectivity, thanks to Bluetooth 5.3 onboard.

The Lenco LBT-515 is due out in November for £580 and is surely a contender for best record player 2025.

Also revealed at IFA were the Lenco SPB-240BKGY stereo Hi-Fi speakers. These offer a total power output of 80W RMS with a built-in Class D amp plus Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for clarity even at louder volumes, Lenco claims.

You should be able to use these speakers with lots of devices thanks to a plethora of connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.3, RCA, Optical in, USB and Subwoofer Out. Included is a remote control and RCA cable, and that will all be available from November priced at £150.

For complete-setup fans, there is also a Lenco LS-700BK record player system. This is a 200W dual speaker setup with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge running the show for the most balanced playback.

Onboard are a stereo amp, Bluetooth 5.2, digital speed display, the option of automatic speed adjustment, plus anti-shaking for the best precision playback.

The speakers are finished in hand crafted wood with a brushed aluminium casing for a fantastic minimal look. This will be available from October, priced at £700.

Also launched by Lenco at IFA were the LS-60BK all-in-one record player with speakers – out September for £150 – and PDR-034GY portable DAB+ Radio with Bluetooth. It's out now for £40.
