Q: QuestionCan someone let us know when this will be back in stock?

Asked 4 years ago by Sniffy.

• A:Answer I'm not sure if you ever ordered a table when they were in stock, but the item showed out of stock for me, but after heading in store to see if they could place an order I decided to check my phone. When I did the turntable showed in stock. Maybe being on the store Wifi shows stock levels not available to online customers? Honestly I have no idea, but it worked for me.

Q: Questionwhat is the signal to noise ratio on this turntable?

Asked 4 years ago by neil.

• A:Answer I saw your question when I was researching the answer myself. I have not found any reference to this including the manual. At this price, it doesn't seem too much to ask for this basic technical data. They don't even provide that for their pricier turntables. They only list the Wow & flutter which my ancient deck form the early 80s surpasses by quite a bit. I decided to go with a different manufacturer who lists important technical specs that directly affect my listening experience because I couldn't gamble $1,200 only relying on the brand name.

Q: QuestionInstead of the ortofon 2m red, can you use an audio-technica vm540ml with the headshell that’s provided?

Asked 9 months ago by TonyP.

• A:Answer Hello, Torry! Yes, you can use the Audio-Technica VM540ML cartridge with the Technics SL-1500C turntable. Ensure that it is properly aligned when you mount it on the headshell. This involves setting the correct overhang and alignment according to the cartridge's specifications. Make sure to adjust the counterweight on your turntable to match the cartridge's required tracking force. -C

Q: QuestionIs this a fully automatic or semi automatic turntable? (description in the specs says "automatic" but subject line says "semi-automatic")

Asked 1 year ago by Tom.

• A:Answer Hello, Tom! The SL-1500C is a semi-automatic turntable. This means that while it can automatically start and stop the rotation of the platter, it requires manual intervention to place tonearm onto the record and lift it off at the end of the playback. Hope this helps! -C
