I bought one of the cheapest turntables Technics makes today - here's why the SL-100C stacks up

Video Description

The SL-100C is one of the cheapest 'classic looking' turntables Technics sells today - but is it any good? In this video, I unbox and review the modern direct-drive deck from this legendary brand - and compare it to a vintage SL-1200 MK2 turntable. After spending a few months with the SL-100C, I'll show you what I liked (and didn’t like), from the streamlined design to the pre-installed Audio-Technica cartridge. Does this turntable offer great value for your money, or is this a case of a brand name over substance? After putting the SL-100C through its paces, I can tell you this is a very good deck. But it’s not perfect. Let me show you why. #Technics #SL100C #SL1200 #TurntableReview #Vinyl #Audiophile #Hifi #VinylCommunity #DirectDrive #audiotechnica ---------------------------- 🎃 Get your Channel 33 RPM merch: http://channel33rpm.bigcartel.com/ 💰 GET 10% OFF your next purchase at Vinyl Storage Solutions: https://vinylstoragesolutions.ca (use code FRANKLANDRY10 at checkout) 👍🏻 JOIN CLUB 33 AND GET EARLY ACCESS TO ALL VIDEOS, AN EXCLUSIVE MEMBERS-ONLY VIDEO EVERY MONTH, AND CREDIT IN ALL EPISODES.
