It's back!

Thanks for the heads up, I wonder what the price will be?

You will be more surprised with this one, much more interesting:
TECHNICS SL1500C coming later this year! Wow 

I’m so in love with design, finally it looks different from the 1200 series.
I can imagine this new SL1500C with a better tonearm.
My personal award for new minimalistic design

1500C targeted for audiohiles, not for the DJs like the mk7

’Las Vegas, NV, United States, 7 January 2019 – Technics today unveiled the new SL-1500C Premium Class Direct Drive Turntable System. The SL-1500C inherits the brand’s high-end sound quality concept and adds a host of original Technics technologies, such as a coreless direct drive motor and high-- sensitivity tonearm. To simplify the playing of analogue records, the built-in Phono EQ connects to a wide variety of devices. The SL-1500C also comes equipped with a high-quality Ortofon 2M Red phono cartridge. "

Thanks Technics !

I’ll be happier if they bring out a SL-1700mk3. Some of us can’t live without full auto-return.
