The Technics SP-15 is built like a tank, so naturally, the SP-15 was one of the most common 'tables in use at radio stations around the world. This direct-drive workhorse is in perfect working condition, and despite a few pinpoint chips in the finish, it's absolutely gorgeous in this beautiful Rosewood plinth. We've mounted the excellent Denon DL-103 cartridge to the ATP-12T tonearm for perhaps the perfect pairing.
