Product Description

In creating the ST-150, Stanton went back to basics and re-engineered everything. This "no nonsense" turntable has everything professional DJs need, and nothing they don't. That's why the ST-150 (standard S shaped tone arm) is built first, and foremost with quality in mind. The ST-150 offers durable construction designed to minimize feedback, industry-leading torque motor - up to 4.5 Kgf-cm, and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Turns, September 24, 2005

These turns are awesome, and better than any other turns out there; yeah they're even better than the latest Technics, which are not much of an improvement over their previous versions. The reason these are better is because Stanton put a lot of research into these bad boys, whereas Technics have taken for granted their status. Now they're paying for it.

The high torque adds a real quality feel as you manipulate your records, and I do guess that these will last for a while, unlike many old Technics which you have to push in order to not get that lagging sound. There are also knobs on these turns to adjust the brake and start speeds, just in case you want that lag sound. The platter is very stable, and the entire unit is heavy, which is a positive thing when talking about quality turns (stability). If you like to scratch, these bad boys will not let you skip note, assuming the hole for the spindle is not too large (just put some tape in there to get a tight fit). I would say that these are top notch, but don't pay $499. I paid like $400 or $420, so look around and buy from a reputable company. A+ all the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars ST-150 = Perfection!, December 15, 2010

1. The playback options are endless!

It can play everything from 16rpm to 80rpm +. This means I can play my "Library of Congress" records, as well as my "Diamond Discs," with the proper stylus and cartridge configuration... no problem! I can also transcribe all of my old acoustic Victors and Columbias at their proper speeds.

2. I can use any stylus I wish!

I am currently using two different stereo carts: an ELAC STS-444, and a 1983 Pickering TLE. I am also using a Sure M78S for my mono 78rpm needs. The great thing about the M78S cart is... I can swith out the N78S stylus for the N25C stylus when playing my mono 45rpm records! (Also, there is a variety of styli available for 78rpm groove width to fit this cartridge.)

3. It just plain works! Remember the term "workhorse of the industry?" This table is one of those "workhorses!"

If you want a turntable that can do anything, this is the one for you! It's not a Rondine, so don't expect it to play your 14" Pathe discs or your 16" radio trascription discs, but... it'll do just about anything else! I absolutely love mine, and if you're lucky enough to find one... you'll love it as well!
