Evening, the first question will be what’s the budget and what are you looking for from the amp and speakers.

Amplifier is not necessary in case of Tech SL1500c. There is already build in.

Rubbish.
It may have a phono preamp built in but that's not going to help the OP with his question.

A lot more information required.
What sort of room size are you looking to put a system in? How big is your budget? And why this turntable?

Hi Budget around £1000 to £1200 room size approx 6m x 6m

Rotel tribute, marantz, nad, bluseound power node

Speakers

Kef, mission, wharfdale, q acoustics

Just to start you should find somthing within the ranges to suite your budget

Or you could go the active speaker route and go with some klipsch 5/7/9s for example depending on space.

Unlike many other sources, turntables and their attached cartridges are less proned to poor synergy.

I would advise you to book a demo with a retailer such as Richer Sounds and listen to few different options. But demo amps with built-in phono stages as you can test that against the built-in stage on the turntable.

Slightly left field option that's excellent value:

Amp - Yamaha A-S501
Speakers - Elac DBR62

The Elacs punch way above their price point, but need a decent amp as they're a bit more difficult to drive than most budget speakers, but the Yamaha is well up to the job.

The yamaha is around £400 and the elacs £480 if you shop around online.
