“The SL-50C is Technics’ next-gen hi-fi turntable. It’s built around Technics’ signature direct drive motor, the same one you’ll find on higher priced models. The smaller footprint and wood MDF body are both new to the Technics line. This updated base allows for a more approachable price point and the addition and more color choices. Overall, the SL-50C is a very refined design built with high quality components from the metal tonearm to the dust cover hinges.” – TTL
