the SP-15 is a budget version of the SP-10.  no 78 rpm, no independent
power supply for more than one turntable (the SP-10 power supply runs
up to 5 or so tables), and a lower torque motor.  there are other
differences too.  canadian list for the table and power supply is just
under $3000 for the SP-10 MkIII.  Additional tables are $2000 apiece.
mount for the tables are $1000 apiece, but in professional use, you
build your own.  tonearm separate, of course.
