Technics SL-1500C-KTechnics built their reputation on the direct drive SL 1200 and the SL 1500C carries that DNA into a more approachable package. Coreless direct drive motor same principle as the 1200, no cogging heavy 4 pound platter with rubber damping on the underside, auto lift at the end of the side. Built in phono stage means it'll plug straight into any amp. Ships with an Ortofon 2M Red already mounted and aligned. 33, 45, and 78 RPM. The K suffix means black.
