Interesting. My experience with Lenco turntables was that they looked
great, but had massy, high-friction arms.


Yup - and were best matched to a medium compliance cart. Like the
Goldring G800H etc.


In general terms, I'd agree with you both. Something like the old Shure M75
series was nominally more appropriate than a V15 due to the arm's nominal
characteristics. However I gave the V15/III a go and it worked quite
nicely. But I suspect that some 'luck' came into this as I suspect the arm
friction varies a lot from one of the relevant arms to the next. :-) I
did not find the low resonance a problem, but I suspect some people may
have done, depending on the LPs they had!

Slainte,

Jim
