## Overview

The Technics SL-100C is a premium direct drive turntable featuring a coreless motor for stable, vibration-free playback across three speeds (33⅓, 45, 78 RPM). It includes an audiophile-grade Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge and an auto lifter to protect your vinyl and stylus. Designed with a sleek black finish, dust cover, and adjustable feet, it offers both functional beauty and high-fidelity sound, making it a top choice for serious vinyl enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

## Description

From the manufacturer The Latest Coreless Direct Drive Motor Achieves\ High-precision Stable Rotation The motor drive unit exclusively tunes the single-rotor, coreless direct drive motor adopted by the SL-1200GR to read the high rotation accuracy and high-precision signals of the record. Optimal motor control is conducted for the inertial mass of the two-layer structure platter on which the vinyl record is placed with rubber on the back surface to eliminate unwanted resonance in the aluminium die-cast platter to eliminate rotation irregularity called clogging. Accurately Reads Signals from the Groove on the Record In Technics tradition, the tonearm is a static-balance universal S-shape. By adopting a high-precision bearing using the same gimbal suspension construction and machined housing as the SL-1200 Series, high initial sensitivity is achieved. The aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS-mixed with glass fiber to achieve a two-layer construction. The insulator is comprised of a spring and rubber to provide optimal vibration-damping characteristics. Equipped with Audiophile-Grade Cartridge The SL-100C comes preinstalled with an Audio-Technica AT-VM95C cartridge, so you can listen to your favorite tunes in high fidelity with minimal set up. The tone arm height can be easily adjusted within a range of 6 mm, enabling the use of various other phono cartridges. Auto Lifter Minimises Wear on Records and Stylus When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the Auto Lifter function raises the cartridge, this eliminates impacts to the tonearm, but still prioritises sound quality. The functions required to playback records were kept to a bare minimum, achieving simple and easy-to-use operability. Designed for Functional Beauty The SL-100C sports a simplistic visual design without unnecessary frills, while retaining the high quality operational feel that is a Technics tradition. Its elegant minimalist appearance will enhance your listening experience.

Review: An Excellent Turntable At It's Price - I bought this to replace a Denon DP-300F which, despite a cartridge upgrade (AT-VM95ML) was very underwhelming to listen to compared to the other sources in my Hi-Fi (CD player/streamer/cassette). This is the turntable I should have bought in the first place. Connected to the in-built phono stage on a Rega Elicit-R amplifier, it is definitely one of the best value components I've bought. I switched out the supplied AT-VM95C stylus for the AT-VM95ML stylus on the previous record player - very easy to do without removing the cartidges themselves. The tonality, detail retrieval and sound stage are all very good. It is definitely close, if not on par with the other sources in my system. The turntable took about 30 minutes to unpack and assemble - taking care to do it well. I found the IEC 14 connector, being recessed and angled underneath the deck a bit fidly to locate once the turntable was positioned on my rack. The same, but to a lesser degree, with the RCA phono sockets and the ground cable connection. Whilst not as heavy as some of the legendary Technics turntables that came prior to and inspired this turntable, at ~10kg it still has a good heft to it. The plynth has a good solid feel and a good look to it. The adjustable feet for levelling the turntable are a very welcome feature. Some reviews raised concerns about the cueing lever, with some people having highlighted it's tendancy to drop the tone arm/stylus abruptly? Whilst the cueing lever is plastic and certainly not overly heavy duty, the stylus drop is certainly well damped and at least on my example, works well. The motor starts and stops quickly. The controls seem on par with most quality modern audio equipment. Overall, I'm very happy with both build quality and sound quality given the price paid. For anyone who is returning to or getting into vinyl records, I don't think you can go wrong with the Technics SL-100C coupled with a half decent moving-magnet cartridge. Note the SL-100C is very similar to the SL-1500C, but it lacks the in-built phono stage and instead of coming with the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, it comes with the Audio Technica AT-VM95C cartridge.
Review: Better than expected - Good turntable ,stable speed, easy setup. I changed the whole cartridge not just stylus to the At95sh. Listening thru Cambridge audio evo150se on Focal Stellia headphones sound is excellent. Surface noise low. Few clicks and pops on 30 year old vinyl but you would expect that. A bargain at the £637 price. Its price is higher now. Grab one whilst you can if you’re in the market for a turntable. Cueing lever a bit flimsy but auto lift works well and all alignments on my sample were correct. Most highly recommended 9/10

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely one to consider if in your budget.
*by G***V on 11 October 2021*

Not sure why I have been asked to rate this item for 'sheerness' and 'accuracy'? Weird. Anyway, what you get here for your money is a good looking, well built and great sounding turntable. This lower cost (£100) version of the 1500C is clearly designed for those who prefer a separate phono preamp and to choose their own cartridge/ stylus. Don't get me wrong, the Conical sounds perfectly fine (and is a downright bargain at £30) however invest in the the ML stylus (two click upgrade) and you'll start to see what this turntable is capable of. Speed is incredibly stable and it runs whisper quiet. I already much prefer Direct Drive less fussy turntables and this is what you get here. The only complaint I would have is that in my opinion it's not £450 better than the Audio Technica AT-LP5X which has a slightly better stylus and built in phono preamp/ USB function (if that's your type of thing- not mine). However with all premium products you do just get that extra level of enjoyment/ satisfaction from the construction quality and feel of the item. This definitely applies here. Lovely product, maybe just a touch pricey. DO NOT TOUCH THE COUNTERWEIGHT WHILE PLAYING LIKE THE GUY WHO MADE THE VIDEO!
