4.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginning!, January 16, 2005

I got two of these turntables right now at home. They are what you expect for the price. The price is irresistible.

If you expect high torque, good cartridges, don't bother buying. The Staton 30's have enough torque for the beginners but not for the pros.

I give the Stanton 30b's a 2.5/5 on torque, they could've made it alot better. If you need more torque look at the Stanton 80's or Numark TTX's for the pros.

This is great for starting and you will enjoy them for along time just like I have. I wouldn't suggest another turntable for the beginners.

If you get them you will enjoy them!

this thing works well. course i'm not into the scratching game, so i can't speak on that. but it spins stuff and makes pretty dust noises when i listen to dusty records.
