Overall ratingVery good93/100
Top workmanship. Very solidly built. Sounded a little dull in the listening test with pop and some jazz. Manually operated, but the tonearm lifts automatically at the end of the disc. Direct drive. Easy handling when playing records. Also plays shellac discs. Expensive.
Very good100/100
- High-torque direct drive
- robust build quality
- built-in phono stage
A solid and very well-equipped turntable that is worthy of the great Technics turntable tradition.
Very good95/100
The SL-1500C is comprehensively equipped as a complete package and is also suitable for vinyl beginners thanks to its simple handling. The integrated MM preamp and the Ortofon 2M Red deliver excellent results, while the turntable and tonearm offer the potential for upgrades with external equalisation and a higher-quality cartridge...
Very good90/100
- Fully equipped all-round carefree package with vibrant sound
- somewhat difficult tonearm height adjustment
My scepticism gave way to respect: even metrologically clean, reputable direct drives can be built today for less than 1000 euros. The Technics SL-1500C also convinces as an overall concept. Even with the built-in preamp it sounds really good, with a better pickup and a good phono stage it goes far beyond its price range. That's what I call an analogue all-round carefree package.
