Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR


Hey, 

I'm not wealthy, but I would like to get  back into vinyl .  Is there a major difference difference between these models? 

Thanks for all your help!

Yes, there are big differences and the SL1200GR is by far the best choice, in my opinion.

lewm,

I'm on a budget, but if I had to I could probably stretch and get the GR.  Is it really that much better?

Crutchfield has the 1500 as "the best of 2023"

 

Crutchfield is a seller. You’ll be fine with any of the 3. You asked which is best, and I offered only an opinion.

I doubt you would go wrong with the 1500C! The auto lift is a nice feature. Here is a review!

 

Hi JJ -

 

You may want to start with this discussion.

I own both the Technics 1200 and 1500.  Both are Direct Drive TTs, which I prefer. 

The 1500 is an all in one solution.  Open the box, connect your cables, and you are up and running in 30 minutes.   The others are a little more work.

So read on and ask your questions ...
