Technics SL-50CP Turntable Great sound, minimal aesthetics, and easy setup that Technics has been pioneering for over 60 years. It comes supplied with the well-respected Ortofon 2M Red and is equipped with a built-in phono stage. The overall standard of build is impressive. The SL-50 feels solid and well engineered with a pleasing sense of precision to the way everything works. Press the large stop/start button and the platter spins up quickly and without the fuss and judder that most belt-driven rivals suffer from. Direct-drive coreless motor Technics has been obsessive about the engineering details on the Direct-drive coreless motor. That motor is designed to avoid issues such as clogging and the speed control helps with stability and accuracy. There is simply nothing that flows as smoothly as a Technics. Upgradeability That detachable headshell makes the task of fitting and swapping cartridges so much easier. Just twist the collar to unlock the headshell, and off it comes. And if you wish to upgrade cables, the detachable RCA, ground, and power cables allows for upgrades.
