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 Β£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 ## Features - Three-Speed Turntable (33 1/3, 45, 78 rpm) with the latest coreless direct drive motor for high-precision stable rotation - Coreless direct drive motor - Suppressing unwanted motor vibration - High-sensitivity S-shape tonearm- Accurately reads signals from the groove on the vinyl record - Audio-Technica AT VM95C Cartridge - Equipped with audiophile-grade cartridge - Auto lifter function - Minimises wear on vinyl record and stylus - Designed for functional beauty- simplistic vinyl player without unnecessary frills - Braking System: Electronic brake ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B094R84292 | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,445 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 3 in DJ & VJ Direct Drive Turntables | | Box Contents | Turntable, Turntable sheet, Dust cover, EP record adaptor, Balance weight, Head shell, Cartridge(audio-technica AT-VM95C), PHONO cable, PHONO earth lead, AC power supply cord, Owner's Manual | | Brand | Technics | | Brand Name | Technics | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Devices with USB input | | Connectivity Technology | PHONO cable | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 265 Reviews | | Cycles | DC Motor | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Included components | Turntable, Turntable sheet, Dust cover, EP record adaptor, Balance weight, Head shell, Cartridge(audio-technica AT-VM95C), PHONO cable, PHONO earth lead, AC power supply cord, Owner's Manual Included components Turntable, Turntable sheet, Dust cover, EP record adaptor, Balance weight, Head shell, Cartridge(audio-technica AT-VM95C), PHONO cable, PHONO earth lead, AC power supply cord, Owner's Manual See more | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 37.2L x 45.3W x 16.9H centimetres | | Item Weight | 9.9 Kilograms | | Item weight | 9.9 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Panasonic | | Manufacturer Part Number | SL-100GEB-K | | Material | Aluminium | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 78 RPM | | Maximum rotational speed | 78 RPM | | Model Name | SL-100GEB-K | | Model Number | SL-100CEB-K | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Consumption Size | 8 Watts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Features | Auto Return | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | Signal Format | Analog | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 70 dB | | Special feature | Auto Return | | Style Name | Modern | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 240 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Technics - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Devices with USB input - **Item weight:** 9.9 Kilograms - **Material:** Aluminium - **Maximum rotational speed:** 78 RPM - **Model name:** SL-100GEB-K - **Special feature:** Auto Return - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable System, Vinyl Player, AT-VM95C Cartridge, Auto Lifter, 3 Speed, Dust Cover, PHONO Cable, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fTzj0q6KL.jpg) ![Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable System, Vinyl Player, AT-VM95C Cartridge, Auto Lifter, 3 Speed, Dust Cover, PHONO Cable, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bdTSHMllL.jpg) ![Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable System, Vinyl Player, AT-VM95C Cartridge, Auto Lifter, 3 Speed, Dust Cover, PHONO Cable, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613cMDuZe9L.jpg) ![Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable System, Vinyl Player, AT-VM95C Cartridge, Auto Lifter, 3 Speed, Dust Cover, PHONO Cable, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716WOuifeJL.jpg) ![Technics SL-100C Direct Drive Turntable System, Vinyl Player, AT-VM95C Cartridge, Auto Lifter, 3 Speed, Dust Cover, PHONO Cable, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lKgZTeDaL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this need an seperate amp or will powered speakers work with this** A: You will need a separate phono/pre- amplifier or active speakers with this option built in **Q: does it have a protective cover?** A: It has a Perspex dust cover **Q: How do you use this tt with 110v power supply? adapter included?** A: Buy a U.S. plug adapter for about $5. **Q: Any suggestions for a good pre-amp pairing?** A: Classic Audio Spartan 10 is a fantastic UK made MM phono stage for under Β£300. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Turntable At It's Price *by D***. on 25 December 2025* 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).
