The Stanton T92 is a solid built and excellent performing turntable. I bought it for converting my vinyl records to mp3 format and it works perfectly for that task. It comes with a Stanton 500.v3 cartridge which works very well for 33 and 45 rpm records. If you are going to record 78 records you will need to purchase an additional cartridge that is made specifically for use with 78 records. A hard acrylic dust cover would be the one thing I would like to see added to this already fine product.
In previous reviews of Stanton USB turntables, many have complained about not being able to hear the audio as it is recorded on the computer. If your equipment and software are configured properly, you can hear the audio as it is being captured.
My setup for recording is as follows:
1) The T92 is connected to the computer via the provided USB cable.
2) The computer soundcard Line Out jack is connected to a set of powered stereo speakers.
3) I use the free download of Audacity 1.2.6 available at [...] for capturing the recording. Be sure to set the Preferences in Audacity as follows:
- Playback Device: The computer's soundcard.
- Recording Device: USB Audio Codec - Input
- Check the "Software Play Through" box. (This is what allows you to hear the audio as you record it).
With this configuration you will be able hear the audio as you record it. The switchable Phono Out/Line Out capability also allows you to connect the turntable to your home stereo system when not using it with the computer for audio capture.
All-in-all a great flexible use turntable.

The Stanton T.92 USB turntable is a fairly heavy, fairly well-made piece of gear...I was suprised by the build quality when I took it out of the box. I got mine on Amazon for $199, but the day after I bought it the price went to $299. It's a steal at $199 and still worth the $299, although in that price range you will have more choices. It's not as well made as the Technics SL-1200MK2, but the T.92 is less than half the price.
The turntable platter is fairly heavy cast aluminum. It doesn't come with a rubber mat, just a wool-like slip-mat. I guess that's more use to a DJ, but a rubber one would have been nice for home use. The tone arm seems to be decent quality for a turntable of this price. It's like Stanton ripped off the design of this turntable from the SL-1200MK2. But then, so did Audio-Technica on their direct-drive USB turntable. It takes a standard headshell, so you can buy an extra one if you have more than one cartridge. The controls and switches seem fairly solid and well-made. For all you get it's a bargain.
If you're really concerned about getting the best possible sound out of this thing, toss the cartridge that comes with it. I upgraded to a Shure M97Xe ($59) and that was a mild improvement, then I did some homework and went with a Audio-Technica AT440MLa and that is one great little cartridge for $99. It's well worth it to me.
There is a learning curve to the software, so be prepared to spend some time learning it, like we used to actually LEARN software in the old days, not simply hit the "gimmie it now" key like some chimp. You're going to have to break up your song tracks or record them song by song. It's no big deal for me, really, and it's actually fun.... Read more ›

After struggling with an excellent but old Dual turntable trying to get a clean signal at the proper level through my PC's line input, I figured a USB turntable would be worth a try and the Stanton T92USB had generally favorable reviews. Was amazed at the difference! Got a clean, strong signal over USB without the need for any adjustment. (Output to a Mac mini running Audacity.) Also sounds great going to my amplifier for normal play.
The cartridge and stylus that ships with this player are decent, but if you're looking for optimal sound from hi-fi LPs or old 78s you'll want styli that better match the different grooves these two record formats have. An elliptical stylus matches the LP groove shape better than the conical stylus the Stanton T92USB ships with. And a fatter stylus for 78s keeps the needle from bottoming out in the wider grooves of the 78s.
Because these are difficult to locate, I'm sharing one source I found that can provide both types of styli. At [...], I found the Stanton D500-3M standard 78/transcription stylus, which fits the cartridge the T92USB ships with. Also found a cartridge/stylus combination better suited for hi-fi LPs, the Stanton 680E.V3 cartridge with an elliptical LP stylus.

This is a great sounding, solid feeling turntable. It's a great step up from cheaper or inferior turntables. Believe me you will notice a HUGE difference in sound quality. It's worth noting that even though the turntable comes with a built in line-level amplifier, I still found the sound to be much quieter (all be it at higher fidelity) than my previous numark portable PT USB turntable. This can be problematic for sampling, and so I decided to purchase a $50 phono pre-amp to acquire the sound level than I was used to. If you are using this for generally listening however you should have no problems.
DEFECTS WARNING:
About a month and a half after my purchase I began noticing a small issue with the cartridge and sound being produced. At points during playback the left or right channel would gradually decrease in a matter of a few seconds, eventually leaving me with only one channel producing sound. I unscrewed and re-attached the cartridge many times (it seemed to be an issue with the connection of the cartridge to the tone-arm) and after a few times I haven't had problems since.
As much as this small glitch worried me about the life of the turntable, after the problem faded I thought not much of it. Then a few weeks later I started scratching...(Direct drive was a big part of why I purchased it!!) ...and shortly after there was a huge problem with the speed of the motor. All of the sudden during playback the pitch would gradually decrease to a set speed below 33rpms. Since the problem is so similar to the gradual channel decrease, I am assuming this is an issue with the circuitry and not the motor itself. I will be returning this for another and hopefully smooth sailing from there because I am very happy with it.
