What tt 's have you sold after getting a Lenco?

I'm intrigued to see what happens here. Since Johnnantais's monster thread has been running for 2 years i feel it would be great to see what turntables people have put to one side after having replinthed and re-armed a Lenco. There have been, I know, some very expensive TT's sold to make way for a Lenco.

I personally replinthed a Lenco GL75 and have an OL Silver arm and Denon DL103R cart on it now. I then sold a Thorens TD160 and a Garrard 401 on a nice plinth. One caveat here is that, while my Lenco beat my Garrard in every way, Johnnantais has managed to get a Garrard 301 to sound to him very close to a Lenco.

Have yet to sell my poor little beasties which were slaughtered by my big beastie ---- a SME / Shure equipped replinthed Lenco.
In every musically meaningful way the Lenco simply sounded far more realistic.. Granted, we are only talking Rega Planar 3 and Project 1 Expression. It has however, destroyed what little faith I had left for digital. How can any sane person or music lover listen to digital after a Lenco listening session!!
