Technics doubles down on fidelity with SL-1500CS and ΔΣ-Drive tech
TL;DR Summary
Technics has introduced the SL-1500CS, an updated version of its popular SL-1500C, featuring the ΔΣ-Drive motor tech first seen on higher-end models to further cut motor vibrations and improve rotation accuracy. The turntable preserves the SL-1500C’s strong build (iron-coreless direct drive, S-shaped tonearm, built-in MM phono stage) and adds a metallic grey finish. It ships in March 2026 for £1099, continuing Technics’ premium direct-drive line and offering enthusiasts a refined vinyl replay experience.
