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!

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 ...

Spend the most you can now. It will save you losing funds when you inevitably upgrade in the near future.

Yes the GR is several steps better than the others. Stretch to get it and it may be your last turntable. It's that good. The GR is made in Japan so you're pretty much guaranteed a high level build quality...I believe the 1500 is assembled in Malaysia as a concession to hit a price point.
