  1. beerdaryl

    This the best turntable I had in years, I put sumiko moonstone cartridge on it , sounds so good! technics is back!

  2. Curtis

    Upgraded from an Audio Technica AP-120XUSB to the Technics SL-1500C. Wow! The quality and precision is night and day. My vinyls actually sound more warmer and detailed. The AT sounded way too bright and gave me headaches after an hour of listening. It’s built like a tank and will outlive me. I can’t speak of the Ortofon 2M Red. I use my AT-VM540ml/h. It’s a much better cartridge and stylus. Grab one if you see them available.

  3. Turntable

    Shipping, documentation, and product all outstanding. Totally satisfactory.

  4. Consultation

    This turntable is a great fit for our wireless distributed audio solution in our home. Love the ability to move it from room to room.

  5. Great

    It’s great to hear real music again. You can hear it like being at a concert. Vinyl is better than digital.

  6. Weeble

    Disabled the semi-automatic function because some of my LPs have information on the inner groove. The replaced an old SL-1510 because the motherboard fried. Great sound with my AT-20SS cartridge.

  7. totita

    Hope it will last a lifetime. I wish for a better or no cartridge option.

  8. Mark

    I returned it. The platter had a wobble to it and the sound was far from rich. I was not impressed with the sound at all.

  9. FrankJ

    It was kinda pricey with some features built cheaply for the money lacking alot of features

  10. Stereoboy

    My only complaint is the “auto lift” on the tone arm lifts too early on some records. I was able to Google and find out how to set it to the other setting to prevent this but was tricky to do. Great turntable that’s quality built from Technics.

  11. KennyG

    So far, I’m enjoying playing my vinyl records on this turntable. When compared to my other turntable, the AT-LP3, the sound quality is very nice. I will be purchasing an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge to take the sound quality to another level.

    Well made turntable with great sound. Highly recommended.

  12. JorgeA

    It is a great product that I’m enjoying every day.
