About the SL-100C
The Technics SL-100C is an entry-level premium direct drive turntable designed for home listening, inheriting key technologies from higher models like the SL-1200 series and SL-1000R. It employs a coreless direct drive brushless DC motor for stable rotation without cogging, a high-precision S-shaped aluminum tonearm, and a two-layer chassis for vibration isolation. It includes an auto-lifter function, supports 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speeds, and comes pre-installed with an Audio-Technica AT-VM95C MM cartridge. Unlike the SL-1500C, it lacks a built-in phono preamp, making it more affordable while maintaining high performance. Launched in 2021-2022, it remains in production and available through Technics and retailers like Amazon.
