  • PositiveExcellent running smoothness
  • PositiveGood integrated phono preamp
  • NegativeArm has no height adjustment

Technics shows how it's done: even the most affordable player from the Japanese company impresses with a precise direct drive, a backlash-free, friction-free moving tonearm and a very good-sounding MM preamplifier. With the SL-40, precise, stable sound and good upgrade potential are now also within reach for those analogue fans for whom the previous Technics models were still a little too expensive.
