Product Information

Further, there is so little lost (except frills) on the 1500c that it's re-written my opinion of the company ,who I now think don't do hype, they just make an honest, excellent product at each price level. But before getting to sonic details, here’s what I measured: the ‘table consistently ran at 33.35 using the Shaknspin device, which is close enough to 33.33. You won’t see that minute difference using a strobe disc. The other speeds were equally accurate (strobe measured). The Shaknspin app’s “deeper dive” produced these results, which are good. The Girl from Ipanema” med Astrud Gilberto på vokal og Stan Getz på tenorsaxofon kommer virkelig ud i rummet i al sin pragt. Rytmen er stabil og kontant gengivet, og lyden af saxofonen er varm og luftig. Vokalen har substans og dybde, og egentlig er det kun lidt mere luft i toppen og et dybere lydbillede med flere detaljer, der ender på minussiden i mine notater. The SL-100C also features an arm made of refined aluminum pipe, adding durability without compromising on style. A dust cover is included to keep your device clean and safe. Moreover, the arm cables and other accessories provided are of top-notch quality. Aesthetics and functionality blend seamlessly in the SL-100C, proving once again why Technics remains a leader in this field. Performance and Sound Quality A built-in phono equalizer is another standout feature of the SL-100C. This device amplifies the record player’s signal to line level, allowing you to connect the turntable to any amplifier or receiver – even those without a dedicated phono input. This flexibility makes the SL-100C a versatile choice for various audio setups.

The word 'iconic' is bandied around willy-nilly these days, to the point where it has lost all meaning. However the Technics SL-1200 is a genuine icon, and the updated Technics SL-1200GR looks, as you would expect, a great deal like it. Additionally, while the SL-100C boasts a superior motor, it doesn’t come equipped with a speed regulator. This means you’ll have to adjust the rotation manually to suit your platter’s needs. Also, bear in mind that this model doesn’t come with a cover for your platter, leaving it exposed to dust and potential damage when not in use. Design and Features and we appreciate the patience! While I cannot say exactly what's in the product review pipeline as of yet, I can say there are at least three of them in the works that I'm currently monitoring, and we'll post them as soon as they're done and vetted -- with many more to come, of course.

The torque is 1.8 kg/cm, the start-up time is 0.7 seconds and the flutter is 0.025 percent.And, unlike many turntables at this price point, the SL-100C features a sophisticated die cast aluminum chassis Technics says is "...rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS-mixed with glass fiber..." to produce a double layer construction. The feet combine springs and rubber to provide isolation and damping. The well-balanced and good middle and high-frequency coverage play into the details and the transparency, which allows fine nuances and also a spatial localization of the instruments to be heard. However, if you know your favorite songs in all their diversity inside and out, you will still miss some details. This is a price that people are very happy to accept because the SL-100C offers a very attractive hi-fi scenario in terms of value for money. Technics SL-100C Video Review Even the slightest fluctuation in speed can ruin the overall music experience. In terms of accuracy, I found it to be spot-on; it didn’t falter and was impressively stable.

So, when I was introduced to the Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable, I knew I was in for a treat. Technics, with its long-standing reputation in the audio industry, has consistently delivered high-quality products that enhance the music-listening experience, and the SL-100C is no exception.

Its superior performance and thoughtful features more than justify its price tag, making it a sound investment for any serious vinyl collector. Design and Quality

Why is Technics SL-100C better than Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB?

In a world dominated by digital music, the Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable serves a particular purpose: to celebrate and elevate the unique experience of listening to vinyl records. This turntable is designed not only to play your favorite records but to do so in a way that captures the true essence of the music. With every spin, the SL-100C brings the warm, rich, and detailed sound that vinyl enthusiasts cherish. However, what made the whole experience a lot better than some record player assemblage projects I've been involved in is that once the parts were correctly assembled, there were no further hassles. I plonked it on a sideboard next to a Cambridge Audio Alva Solo phono pre-amp and… that was it. It sounded great straight away and there was no discernible electrical hum. Show of hands: How many of you had, or still have, a Technics turntable in your gear arsenal? Technics has just announced the U.S. market debut of its Premium Class SL-100C direct drive turntable, which was initially released in the EU/UK last year and is considered to be the burgeoning sibling of its vaunted class brethren, the Technics SL-1500C. Counterbalancing and setting the anti-skating control for the tonearm was also not exactly enjoyable, but it didn't drive me to drink either.

Compared to the Victrola Revolution Go Record Player, the SL-100C offers a superior sound experience. While the Victrola has its merits, including portability and affordability, it doesn’t match the Technics turntable’s sound quality, stability, and feature set. User Experiences Otherwise, you get all of what the more costly SL1200 G series ‘tables give you—at least in terms of features and accessories: a coreless, direct drive D.C. motor, the magnet for which is integrated into a well-damped die-cast aluminum platter with heavy rubber mat, a 230mm effective length “S” shaped aluminum pipe arm with detachable head shell, dustcover, tonearm cables, and accessories. My Technics SL-100C review is about a turntable that will appeal to those who like high-end stuff with simple and comfortable functionality. This model of the already legendary SL line is a bit cheaper than the bestselling Technics SL-1500C, which at the same time, has retained many of its features. So it’s worth taking a closer look at it, isn’t it? I’ll tell you the differences and advantages (and disadvantages) I found in the SL-100C. In wrapping up, I’ve been genuinely impressed by the SL-100C. Its design and performance stand out, offering a great listening experience that’s sure to please music enthusiasts. It’s a reminder of why we love this classic method of enjoying our favorite tunes. I should probably start with the engine. But, first, and not to repeat the manufacturer’s convoluted definitions, I will limit myself to saying that it is a single-rotor, direct-drive coreless motor, which has already been used in the SL-1200GR. And at this point, it ensures that the platter rotates evenly, reducing resonance to a minimum.First off, you’re sure to appreciate the elegant platter, complemented by a handy cueing light. The device also boasts a pitch regulator that’s adjustable, alongside a VTA/SRA adjustability feature. While the iron-coreless direct-drive motor with motor control promises absolutely smooth rotational stability, the SL-100C's solid two-layer platter helps mitigate external vibrations. We are assured that the motor still has the famous “Technics torque” and spins the platter free from cogging. On the right there's a massive pitch slider plus a button that resets it to zero. As a non-DJ, I have never used this, but it seems to glide on its bearings in a suitably smooth manner.

The arm is the familiar static-balanced, universal S-shaped design using the same gimbal suspension construction and machined housing found in the SL-1200.To get the most out of your SL-100C, keep it clean and dust-free, and regularly replace the stylus for optimal sound reproduction. It’s also advisable to pair it with a quality sound system to fully appreciate the turntable’s capabilities. FAQ More SL-100C tech specs follow. Chime in below in the Comments section if you'd recommend this ’table to audiophile newbies, and/or if you’d consider obtaining one for yourself. Since the turntable only plays the phono input of a receiver, integrated amplifier, or DJ mixer without distortion, it must be connected to the corresponding dedicated input. Otherwise, get an additional preamp that converts the phono signal into a line signal. Vinyl users tend to fall into two camps. First there are the vinyl veterans. These men – and they are all men – think nothing of procuring special platforms for their precious turntables to sit on, using precision-tooled pressure gauges to set up there tone arm, then rewiring their entire house to reduce hum from electrical interference. På den obligatoriske “Love Over Gold” fra Dire Straits’ album af samme navn slipper grammofonen rigtig godt fra det. Guitaren lyder fornemt fokuseret og har en tydelig bundklang, mens trommerne kommer ud af højttalerne med god dynamisk kontrast og uden tøven.
