We need feet under our hifi.
We found an elastomer very effective in absorbing vibration so we made Composite Vibra Shield feet
Each set of feet is made according to the weight of the equipment to be supported, so as to always maintain maximum efficiency and the best possible isolation.
They are made with a sandwich of corian at the centre of the system is a microcellular polyurethane ring with mixed cells
More details in the product page
The new LH-33 version’s is very different from the previous, the idea is the same but with slightly different material. It still has the chuck, the rotating knob, the Corian but Composite Vibra Shield is a mechanical isolation system for audio equipment, made with a sandwich structure in acrylic-mineral composite Corian (PMMA resin and aluminium hydroxide) offering hardness, homogeneity and damping capacity, ideal for dissipating vibrational energy.
At the centre of the system is a microcellular polyurethane ring with mixed cells, an elastomer calibrated to counteract the transmission of low-frequency vibrations, made in Germany.
Unlike rubber, silicone or Sorbothane devices, Composite Vibra Shield does not “absorb” vibrations, but isolates them thanks to its elastic-viscoelastic behaviour.
The elastomer is produced in different densities, each with its own ideal load range from fraction to hundreds of kilograms.
Headshell is very important in an analogue setup so thank to the vast experience we have with corian we are now able to introduce LH-30 corian headshell.

the fourth youtube’s video in my channel show how to transform your Lenco L75 in a superb turntable. See here for detail : https://lencohell.wordpress.com/component/
The last weekend we have exhibited at the Milano Hi Fidelity Show. It has been very nice, lot of visitors and so many Lenco owners. We received much interest in Lencohell/H-HELL products and we enjoyed to talk with many people. Most of them weren’t aware of the incredible upgrading oppotunities available for their turntables. The new LH-1 board with one corian subchassis panel really got great appreciation and fascination.
Great interest and lots of questions in the just introduced Composite Audio, our new brand of insulation feet and board for turntable, electronics, speakers, they will showed in details very soon here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJK7rjjguTg
11 and 12 october we are at the Milano Hi Fidelity exhibition at Centro Congressi Melià Hotel floor -1
LH-1 board mounting video online
I have done the fourth episode of a Lenco L75 radical upgrade.
I mounted all the L75 part except the original board and tonearm on a more substantial 4mm stainless board and as a option one corian panel under it. As you know I really think corian makes wonder to hi fi equipment. It has a great hardness and damping combination.Let me know your opinion.
The L-HELL videotube channel https://www.youtube.com/@L-HELL broacast the the episode of the Lenco L75 rebirth. Now we concentrate on cleaning and restore the original component.
It in italian language but if you enable subtitles probably you find your language.

Time have changed and we too change. From now we are L-HELL and we have a Youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/@L-HELL there we pubblish video of how to upgrasde your Lenco turntable. You can see how to disassemble a L75, clean the mechanical component and assemble them in our LH-7 mainboard.
I received a request for a stainless mainboard for an 9 inches tonearms and less round corner. This is how it came out!
Dimensions are 450x350mm.
The tonearm board has a rotation possibilities to permit sharp adjustment.
If you read the previous article here https://lencohell.wordpress.com/component/lenco-l75-rebirth/ this is the follow up and this is the final look of the L75 Rebirth the “Lencohell LH-7”
It has been a pretty long work but all I can say the result exceed my expectation.
First the look!! I love it, it resemble the original Lenco L75 just for the front mask but it is an all different beast. It is slim, 510mm. wide, 420mm. deep, 52mm. high and a damn heavy 30Kg.
Second the sound. Among the many turntable I have had this is number one! It is so sharp and lifelike that it is addicting. I keep putting vinyl after vinyl but I don’t want go on with qualities because I’m not a disinterested reviewer.
I remain strictly to the fact. It uses all the original Lenco’s mechanics and commands plus few little components custom made. Let’s start with LH-1, a 4mm. stainless mainboard where all components are .
This mainboard has two standalone motor and arm boards.The arm board is designed in a way that it can accept both 9″ and 12″ tonearms by just turning 180° the arm slider.
The LH-1 with all component installed.
Now the plinth. It is an all corian one. Very heavy and outstanding neutrality
Finally all mounted
Conclusion: it took a lot of work to make the assembling as straight as possible with few extra components. My idea is to make available to people interested the complete turntable, or the LH-1 mainboard and components, or the corian plint.
Hii, I propose to the forum members this new corian product. Based on the great expereince of the corian mat for Lencos, I have made this Sme type tonearm board. It can be in white or black corian. It is 12mm. high.
LH-2 went under few refinements and now we have LH-5 the best looking and more reliable corian platter on the market!
The Lencohell corian platters strongly reduce the motor-wheel and cartridge vibrations of all idler wheel turntable
It is a beautifully finisched corian platter, 313mm. diameter and 12mm. thick, with stainless spindle extension.
A natural rubber mat is glued on its back for a strong grip with the original platter.
The increased platter’s height let you install your arm of choice, VTA isn’t anymore a problem.
It is available in neutral white, grey or black.
This is a major upgrade to Lenco L75/78 or any idler wheel turntable as confirmed by many customers. It is not intended to replace the original platter but sit on it.
“I’ve received it, I’m testing it right now and sounds gooooood!
I’m using it on a Lenco B52 and the problem with the motor sound has disappeared, now it sounds crystal clear. And it looks classy too.
Thank you for making this great product….”
The original Lenco spindle doesn’t permit much mat experimentation because of the limited high. Now the increased spindle extension to 25mm. will let you to use whatever mat and clamp you want. The spindle extension is made of stainless AISI 304 that is screw fixed to the 12mm. corian platter. You can use it straight away on the original Lenco or Garrard 401 and 301 platters.
Just received from a friend:
Hi Giorgio,I have two systems, one is as L78 with 9“Karmadon tonearm. For the L78 I ordered the mat.But yesterday I tried the mat in my main system. A diy turntable with Scheu 80mm Platter and a paralell airtracking tonearm, at the moment with an Ortofon Spu N, with amazing results. The sound is much cleaner, seems faster. All in all a big step foreward and I think about ordering a second mat within the next few weeks. On top of the Lh-5 I am using a transfi mat.
We have enough of this 2020 !!
We want a 2021 rebirth and going back to kiss everybody we like!!
Finally we got some black corian. We had many request for this and we sre now proud to announce that is available for all of our product.
Those are LH-2 and LH-4:
and this is LH-5:
Some customers requested a LH-2 with the inner label recession so here we are: LH-5
a beautifully finisched corian platter with stainless spindle extension, inner label recession and step for vinyl outer border.
Always with the natural rubber mat betwenthe original Lenco platter and the LH-5.
It is available in neutral white and warm white.
From a customer a LH-2 on a great CTC-Classic-301.
Those are his impression
Hi Giorgio
I am learning to listen again. The platter has changed the dynamic presentation of well loved recordings significantly. There is now very little background noise and the detail within the background is more coherent. Sounds just swell from the background too. Music flows and there is better continuity throughout a track. It makes some difficult music more listenable. Bass initially appears to be lighter but when it is present it really makes itself known. Well recorded drums have real impact. The frequency extremes have been extended and are very clean and fast. No muddle or brightness. Soundstage has expanded in width and depth and the imagery within is more stable. Lots of air. It is now much easier to find a satisfactory listening level and it’s not as loud as before. Great for late night listening. Sadly not all recordings are equal but most benefit and all are enjoyable. So far I have tried a 1mm pigskin mat which I didn’t really care for, though detailed it was a bit lifeless. Might try a thicker one.
Currently I am using an Oyaide BR-12 that I used on the Lenco platter and that is very enjoyable. Familiarity maybe.
I’ve got a 1mm nitrile cork mat that I will try between the LH-2 and a Boston Audio Mat 1 to prevent possible slippage at the interface. I have high hopes for that combination. Though I’m in no hurry as I am really enjoying it right now. I would be interested if there were any other mats you might consider worthy of trying. My arm is a Linn Akito with an Ortofon OM20 cartridge. This feeds the phono input of my Crayon CFA 1.2 which in turn drives my ART Emotion loudspeakers. All in all a nice system. I also have an Aurender N100H and an Auralic Vega for digital playback. Though excellent sounding it’s no match for my analogue source. Oh and sometime I may try it on my Garrard 401 with Audio Origami PU7 and Shelter 501 Mk2.
I listen maninly to jazz and rock with a little classical.

We are glad to say that TNT-AUDIO.COM has published a review of Lencohell LH-2 and LH-4 products.
This is the link: https://www.tnt-audio.com/accessories/lencohell_platter_e.html
The reviewer Roger McCuaig made quite a long and accurate investigation about our products. We are very satisfied with his work and we find his review very professional and fair.
It was made as a special order from a client. The LH-4/16.
It is a LH-4 with a 16inches , 40mm., diameter.
Here it is how it compare to a 33rpm record and the ordinary LH-2.
Her
It is really Big. Here it is installed in one of our audio system for quality control. It is mounted on early Lencohell turntable. It’s size allow to mount only a 12inch arm.
My collague Roberto did a listening session with it and he said he liked very much and he is going to make one for himself. It isn’t a night and day difference but a whorty upgrade. He hear an even more rock solid image.
Cerntanly is not easy to implement in every already existent plinth. Anyway if you have in mind to go for a new plinth take this possibility into consideration.
Of course it must be used with the LH-2 spindle extension. All of original Lenco L75 facilities are warranted.
