Thee best turntable ever made to this day!!! The digital output makes this record player the best ever made. It works when switched to line out and both rca outputs and digital output work simultaneously. Also, the fact that this turntable slows down / speeds up the record 50 percent is just outstanding and really unheard of. There is also a feature that lets you keep the tune regular while the record is sped up or slowed down. it is definitely a producer / dj style turntable and its also a transferring vinyl to digital turntable. This model is known as the "1200 killer"
I think you went a great route. Im currently looking at turntable reviews to add one to my new system. I'm a musician and music lover and havent had my own personal stereo system in too many years. Going with a pro style table just makes a lot of sense to me because its built with the rigors of the road and playing. This Stanton just looks cool to me. Great video and thanks for taking the time to share this!
Fun Video. I first touched one at Santa Monica Sounds in Holly wood and was blown away and always wanted a pair. Over the last two years i picked up at STR8 150 and last week found a ST 150 at Sam Ash in New York via Reverb for $320 with a case and a needle. So happy with these decks. I dj Out at Bars and these are the like lugging around an Old Ampeg Tube Bass head = These are crazy heavy. The closest new table is the Pioneer PDX 1000 which is very nice but these have proper Bass mitigation. Nice Pick up
I bought a blue metallic one on eBay that still has to arrive but was sold as defective so I'll have to see if it even works. I didn't realize they weigh 16kg (37lbs)! They are Hanpin Super OEM tables, similar to the Reloop RP7000, Numark TT500, Pioneer PLX1000 and Audio Technic LP1240x if I recall correctly. I'm not a fan of the new belt drive tables which seem to be a cheap non quartz locked DC motor in a cheap plinth and bad overall specs. About the DJ style needles. Ortofon actually made those specifically for the SL1200 and similar style turntables so you don't need to setup or align them. They actually offer HiFi spec styli for it. My Technics SL1400mk2 has an Ortofon Concorde EC10 with a Stylus 10 elliptical needle that track at 1.5g instead of the conical DJ needles that track at 3g.
I bought the Stanton st150 s because technics had discontinued at the time but they're 10 years old now and had a load of use and still going strong. Plus they were both about the same price you'd pay for a 1200. Great turntable
Got 2 of these best thing I've ever bought picked up the pair for £400 around 2020 came with flight boxes best solid decks for mixing pitch control is smooth and holds constant speed and torque like no other deck I've used
Good choice. I have 3 Str8-150s (original models) and aside from the degradation of the rubbery coating on the plastics (wipe off with alcohol) and they are still amazing. I wish stanton could've survived...
@@nathanhetzel3330 Stanton is owned by inmusic (Rane, Numark, Denon) Not sure if they're still in production or not currently. I spoke to the north east rep for inmusic, and he told me they are going to make Stanton what it used to be again I have Str8 150 M2 and can't recommend them enough. Solid tables.
DId it come with an over hang gauge? It will be a weird white piece of plastic kind of like a little stand for the headshell, you can use this to get a perfect alignment for this tonearm with almost any stylus, just plaint the headshell in the gauge and slightly loosen then screws holding the cartridge in place and move it so the cartridge is perfectly straight in the headshell and the actual tip of the stylus can be seen when looking into the over hang gauge from it's bottom side. If you measure the banana stylus that came with the turntable you should find that the needle is 52mm away from the rotator cup that holds the whole cartridge in place, this is exactly where the over hang gauge will position your new stylus on a headshell. This is good to know if you pick up a nice elliptical stylus for listening purposes. Use some ruled paper or something similar stood up on a medium thickness record and adjust the arm height so the tonearm is perfectly parallel while the stylus is resting on the record. Set the anti skate with by placing a CD (printed side down) on the platter nicely centered and placing the stylus down on it while the platter spins and adjust the antiskate. When the stylus stays still and doesn't slide toward the center or the edge you are good. I don't usually type so much but I see you are genuinely happy to have your new deck and I got caught up! Have fun and hit me up if you need help.
Hello sir does Stanton st 150 needs to be lube spindle or needs to be oiled any parts, I have it more than three years play it everyday two hours, still working fine , please let me know thanks
Just picked one of these up at a pawn shop for $280. Threw a ortofon red 2m needle on it and it sounds awesome! I just got mine to listen to records on. I chose it over the lp120 just because it was cheaper than buying it around town. I've got to say I'm pleasantly happy with it.
Hey there.. Just wanted to point out. Never remove your platter while the turntable is on. You will damage your motor / magnet, I cringed a little when you were doing this in the video! I own a few of these ST150 & STR8150's. 2 are over 10 years old and are solid. They have gone on many many gigs and never have disappointed. I have since upgraded my home set to the Denon VL12 Prime's. I love them and they will never leave the house.
I’m still using my 1210’s but really want to get a pair of these. They blow my decks out of the water. I’ve been looking online but apparently you can only get the m2 versions which are lighter & have way less features. I saw a pair for sale for €300 about 10 years ago, unwanted gift! Was broke at the time though. Now that I can afford them I can’t find them anywhere!
The AT LP 1240 is a better comparison to this TT than the AT LP 120, which is based on the Technics 1200. I have never heard of a 1240 having its speed buttons reversed. It's typical for these DJ tables to not have a dust cover, since most if not all DJs use two open turntables for their scratching and mixing.

Stressing out lol, after some analog pitch turntables, not many decent ones out there, sold my 1210 mk5 technics, had digital pitch, seemed harder to keep the beats matched
@@00wrongun So did the M3d which I also owned, and they also had analogue pitch. The Mk2 just had a centre dent instead of a button, but was basically the same thing. The Mk2, M3d, Mk5, and even the Japanese Mk4, all had analogue pitch. The M5g was the first digital pitch technics deck. Please do some research.

I have those now for i think 8 years and i just love them.
Have fun with it. I'm using the MK1 for 17 years now. And it still plays like on the first day. Great Player.

My 10 year old stantons has way more torque than my buddies tanky Technics.
These are built to last

what do you mean, "could've survived"?
uhhh...stanton is fine.

I've had a pair of these, don't worry.about the weight its a plus, you won't be able to skip the tone arm even if your jumping around.
I got two of those , they are very good. I have a Hifi table too. Rega rp6. For the money, can't beat the st-150 .

To hook it up through digital out you need to run it through a digital sound card in your amp or mixer and switch the turntable to line not phono
Awesome....have a Happy New Year...highlandmedia
When u review the ground selection switch. Does it also have a ground screw? I’m just setting mine up and I don’t see one
there is a third prong on ac plug that grounds it
nice turntable Jake!
Rtfm digital out only works if inthe line out position and key set.
How much did you get it for? Are they still on sale?
599.99 ... think so!
Stressing out lol, after some analog pitch turntables, not many decent ones out there, sold my 1210 mk5 technics, had digital pitch, seemed harder to keep the beats matched
Mk5 Technics had analogue pitch.
The M5g had digital.
@@DjNikGnashers they had a pitch reset button
@@00wrongun So did the M3d which I also owned, and they also had analogue pitch.
The Mk2 just had a centre dent instead of a button, but was basically the same thing.
The Mk2, M3d, Mk5, and even the Japanese Mk4, all had analogue pitch.
The M5g was the first digital pitch technics deck.
Please do some research.
@@DjNikGnashers did some research, I was wrong, thank you for pointing that out
@@00wrongun No worries, and I'm glad you didn't think I was trying to be clever, I just wanted to let you know my friend, peace.
Cool man
awesome man.
