Ugo

Hello,
I am very satisfied with this product.
I had some problems adjusting the tonearm, which is very important, but once the problem was solved, this turntable is for me the best value-for-money product on the market right now.
Very practical and effective to use; above all it has "direct drive", so not a drive belt, which for me, since I always listen to a lot of music, means I never have to stop for "maintenance".
In conclusion, it still seems important to me to share with you who are reading me the most important aspect of this line of turntables (3 aesthetic variants).
This turntable is perfect above all for the music listener, therefore not for the DJ...........
.........because it is sturdy, heavy but also very "spacious", at the same time "linear and understated".

I also own the first and "historic" TECHNICS SL-1210 ANTHRACITE GREY - for DJ use - bought in 1996 and still perfectly working today, an extraordinary object.

But for me, who am only a music enthusiast, this "evolutionary variant" that maintains the same aesthetics and all the technical quality aspects.........I had been waiting for it forever......!!!........so I had absolutely no problem putting the historic DJ TECHNICS SL-1210 into "retirement"........(without selling it, however).................

Final concluding aspect: I was treated very well by this French company for the purchase and for the support..........Kind regards, Ugo from Turin-Italy

Ciao,
Io sono molto soddisfatto di questo prodotto.
Ho avuto qualche problema nella regolazione del braccio, che è molto importante, ma una volta risolto il problema, questo giradischi per me è il miglior prodotto qualità/prezzo in circolazione in questo momento.
Molto pratico ed efficace da usare; soprattutto ha la "trazione diretta", quindi non la cinghia di trasmissione, che per me che ascolto sempre tanta musica, non devo mai fermarmi per fare "manutenzione".
In conclusione mi sembra ancora importante condividere, con voi che mi leggete, l'aspetto più importante di questa linea di piatti (3 varianti estetiche).
Questo giradischi è perfetto soprattutto per l'ascoltatore di musica, quindi non per il DJ...........
.........perchè è robusto, pesante ma anche molto "spazioso", nello stesso tempo "lineare e sobrio".

Io possiedo anche il primo e "storico" TECHNICS SL-1210 GRIGIO ANTRACITE - per DJ - comprato nel 1996 e tutt'ora perfettamente funzionante, un oggetto straordinario.

Ma per me che sono solo un appassionato di musica, questa "variante evolutiva" che mantiene la stessa estetica e tutti gli aspetti qualitativi tecnici.........io la stavo attendendo da sempre......!!!........quindi non ho avuto assolutamente problemi a mettere in "pensione" lo storico TECHNICS SL-1210 da DJ........(senza però venderlo).................

Ultimo aspetto conclusivo: sono stato trattato molto bene da questa azienda francese per l'acquisto e per l'assistenza..........Cordiali saluti, Ugo di Torino-Italia

Prodotto perfetto e magnifico, spedizione affidabile e puntuale

Simon

Very good, multiple award-winning turntable. A complete starter set that can be upgraded.
Possible upgrades include a headshell and an AT VM95SH cartridge (Shibata stylus), a Cambridge Alva Duo preamp, and upgraded power and RCA cables x 2. The auto arm lift works properly after about 20 rotations… so most of the time you’ll still be cueing and lifting the tonearm by hand. 1970s records in good condition, once properly cleaned, are like new and can rival a very good streamer. A great entry into the world of audiophile turntables, with no setup headaches and without breaking the bank.

Très bonne platine multi récompensée. Un Set de départ complet qui peut être amélioré.
Les possibilitées peuvent être un porte cellule et une cellule AT VM 95SH (pointe shibata). Un préampli Cambridge duo alva et les cables d'alimentation et RCA x 2. Le relevé de bras fonctionne bien au bout de 20 tours... , vous ferez donc la majorité du temps une dépose et un relevé de bras manuellement. Les disques des années 70 en bon état, une fois bien nettoyé sont comme neuf et challengent un très bon streamer . Une bonne entrée dans l'univers des platines audiophiles sans problème de réglage et sans trop se ruiner.

Philippe

Right from the start, the turntable gives an impression of solidity, stability and quality, very impressive. The Ortofon Red cartridge is appreciable and you can very easily upgrade it by changing the stylus among the MR series. The original RCA cable is of decent quality (gold-plated terminals). Without having to upgrade the cartridge and cables, the whole thing already provides a very good level turntable.
All the adjustments allow you to precisely (and easily!) level the platter, tonearm, etc.
In use and when listening, the turntable provides complete satisfaction! It is precise, the sound reproduction is top-notch.
The minor downside: the tonearm lift control is "mechanical", it lacks damping when lowering as well as when raising. A bit of a shame, especially since the automatic tonearm lift at the end of the record is quite appreciable.

D'emblée la platine donne une impression de solidité, de stabilité et de qualité, très valorisant. La cellule Ortofon rouge est appréciable et on peut très facilement l'upgrader en changeant le stylet parmi la série MR. Le câble RCA d'origine est de qualité correcte (bornes dorées). Sans devoir upgrader en cellule et câbles, le tout donne déjà une platine de très bon niveau.
L'ensemble des réglages permet de mettre à niveau précisément (et facilement !) le plateau, le bras, etc.
A l'utilisation et à l'écoute, la platine procure pleine satisfaction ! Elle est précise, le rendu est top.
Le petit bémol : la commande de relevage du bras est "mécanique", elle manque d'amorti à la descente comme à la montée. Un peu dommage, d'autant que le relevage automatique du bras en fin de disque est bien appréciable.

Christian

An excellent turntable, but probably too precise for my old, beat-up records from the ’70s and ’80s. The slightest imperfections stand out and take away a bit of the enjoyment. Best reserved for either brand-new vinyl or records that are very well maintained.

Une excellente platine mais probablement trop précise pour mes vieux disques abîmés des années 70 et 80. Les moindres imperfections ressortent et gâchent un peu le plaisir. Platine à réserver soit à des vinyles neufs soit à des vinyles très bien entretenus.

Florian

A huge improvement over my previous turntable. That was an old, basic Pro-Ject model. This one has a dust cover, and the needle is automatically lifted at the end. The direct drive works excellently. No more buying drive belts. The sound is very good. I’ve connected it to a WiiM Amp and I’m using the internal phono preamp. Not necessarily “audiophile,” but it sounds great to my ears.

Een enorme verbetering ten opzichte van mij eerdere platenspeler. Dat was een oud, simpel pro-ject model. Deze heeft een stofkap, en de naald wordt op het einde automatisch omhoog getild. De direct drive werkt uitstekend. Nooit meer aandrijfriemen kopen. Het geluid is erg goed. Ik heb hem aangesloten aan een Wiim Amp en maak gebruik van de interne phono-voorversterker. Niet per sé "audiofiel", maar het klinkt geweldig in mijn oren.

Fantastic product. I’m so pleased!

The best turntable I’ve owned, with all the necessary connections like Phono and Line; the feature that lifts the tonearm at the end of an LP is very reliable and practical.

Très beau produit, de très bonne qualité.

Frederic

Very good turntable. Easy to set up. The only minor drawback is the lever for raising/lowering the tonearm, which doesn't feel very sturdy. Handle with care.

Très bonne platine. Installation facile. Le seul petit bémol est le levier pour lever/descendre le bras qui ne semble pas très robuste. À manipuler avec soin.

Vraiment très bien, sans réglages excessifs. On pose la galette et hop, plein de musique d'une clarté impressionnante, et je n'ai encore pas changé le cordon d'alimentation…

Jason

I’m absolutely delighted with my new turntable. I’m no audiophile, but my records never sounded better. The build quality is great, looks like a piece of furniture / art. There seems to be a lot retailers out of stock, so glad you guys had them in stock and delivered to Ireland.

Je suis absolument ravi de ma nouvelle platine vinyle. Je ne suis pas audiophile, mais mes disques n’ont jamais été aussi bons. La qualité de construction est excellente, ressemble à un meuble/art. Il semble y avoir de nombreux détaillants en rupture de stock, je suis donc heureux que vous les ayez en stock et livrés en Irlande.

Regarding the sound...
Deep, full, round, taut bass.
Precise midrange.
Refined, non-aggressive treble.
The turntable's aesthetics are truly impeccable, nothing to criticize.
I recommend this turntable to anyone who wants to get into vinyl.

En ce qui concerne le son..
Grave plein, rond, tendu.
Médium précis.
Aiguë fin pas agressif..
L'esthétique de la platine rien à dire vraiment impeccable..
Je recommande cette platine à toutes personnes qui veulent passer aux vinyles.

Francois

Beautiful functional turntable, the quality is there, with a quality Ortofon cartridge included with the turntable, and an extremely comprehensive user manual.
A small finishing issue in particular on the turntable cover costs it the 5th star.

Belle platine fonctionnelle, la qualité est au rendez-vous, avec une cellule Ortofon de qualité livrée avec la platine, un mode d'emploi extrêmement complet.
Un petit problème de finition en particulier sur le couvre plateau qui coûte la 5ème étoile.

Lionel

I hesitated with the Rega Planar 3 which seems slightly superior in terms of audio quality. I really don't regret my purchase. The audio rendering is excellent and the few automated features (switching from 45 to 33rpm without having to remove the platter and automatic stop at the end of the record) are really nice to have.

J'ai hésité avec la Raga Planar 3 qui semble légèrement supérieure au niveau audio. Je ne regrette vraiment pas mon achat. Le rendu audio est excellent et les quelques automatismes (passage de 45 à 33tr sans avoir à enlever le plateau et arrêt automatique en fin de disque) sont vraiment appréciables.

This turntable is a marvel in both its finish and sound quality, and comes with an explicit manual!

What a magnificent turntable this Technics SL1500C is. The build quality is excellent down to the smallest details. But what's even more remarkable is the listening quality - the sound is detailed, with everything in its place from the highs to the lows. It's an immense daily pleasure to rediscover my vinyl records.

Quelle magnifique platine que cette Technics SL1500C. Qualité de fabrication excellente jusque dans les moindres détails. Mais ce qui est encore plus remarquable c'est la qualité d'écoute, le son qui est détaillé, tout est en place des aigus jusqu'au grave. Un immense plaisir au quotidien de redécouvrir mes disques vinyles.

David

As a user starting out in the world of vinyl, I must say that this turntable is simply magnificent in both its aesthetics and its use, and the sound quality is sublime. I think in the future, I will upgrade the Ortofon Red cartridge (already very high quality) to the Blue in order to have the ultimate turntable! You can immediately feel the quality when unboxing the Technics SL 1500C. The tonearm is easy to adjust, but it's in the sound quality that it truly excels.

Étant un utilisateur qui démarre dans le monde du vinyle autant dire que cette platine est juste magnifique tant dans l'esthétique que dans son utilisation et le rendu est juste sublime. Je pense que dans un futur, je changerais la cellule Ortofon Red (déjà très qualitative) par la Blue histoire d'avoir la platine par excellence ! ! On sent tout de suite la qualité quand on déballe la Technics SL 1500C, le bras est facile à régler mais c'est sur le rendu sonore qu'elle excelle.

Laurent

I replaced my TEAC turntable with this magnificent turntable, which has some serious weight to it. I swapped out the Ortofon cartridge for an Audiotechnica MC cartridge, and the results are stunning. The soundstage is incredibly open, making me feel like I'm right there in the recording studio. It's pure bliss.

J'ai remplacé ma platine TEAC par cette magnifique platine, qui fait son poids. J'ai remplacé la cellule Ortofon par une cellule MC de chez Audiotechnica, le résultat est bluffant. La scène super ouverte, j'ai l'impression d'être dans le studio d'enregistrement, c'est que du bonheur.
