Absolute Sound viewers should be no stranger to turntables from Technics, which have dominated the market space since their reintroduction to listeners 10 years ago. We’ve reviewed many of their offerings on this channel, including the recently introduced SL-1300G which used the company’s next generation Delta-Sigma drive technology.

Well, now Technics have carried this evolution down to their more entry level designs and updated the SL-1500C to the SL-1500CS. Can this reasonably-priced direct-drive table throw down with its more lauded older siblings? Stay tuned to find out.
