The SL-1015 is a high performance turntable
system which consists of a tonearm (EPA-500)
designed with compatibility of the cartridge and
tonearm
in
mind a high performance turntable base
(SH-15B

its
damping
characteristics produced by one-piece molding of
special
viscoelastic

quartz
synthesized system direct drive turntable
(SP-15)
capable
for
the first time
in
the world of digital pitch

If you purchase the optional tonearm unit according
to the characteristics of the cartridge you use
,
you
can upgrade your system as easily as
replacing
