Technics is adding an affordable turntable to its legendary SL range of decks, and it's called the SL-100C. The new model inherits many features of the popular (not to mention five-star) Technics SL-1500C. It has the same iron-coreless direct-drive motor designed to avoid issues such as clogging and speed control, plus a version of the company’s long-running S-shaped aluminium hit Technics' entry-level price point of £799 (€899), the SL-100C loses the phono stage of the SL-1500C. It's also fitted with a different cartridge, in this case, Audio-Technica's VM95C, complete with a conical stylus plus aluminium cantilever and coil. The SL-100C features both a high-rigidity cabinet and a high-damping insulator to help minimise vibrations.
