Stanton STR8-150/ST-150 Turntables Review Staff Review
The Stanton ST-150 (S-tonearm) and STR8-150 (Straight-tonearm) are the premier turntables from the Stanton DJ Lineup. They've been around since about 2005, and they are still arguably the best turntables with the best and strongest motor out on the market today. Turntablists all over the world swear by them and they are now proven in the longevity category with a 7-year history already in the books. The upper body of the turntable is all steel while the lower portion of the deck is a very heavy rubber material for dampening and isolation purposes. These are some seriously heavyweight turntables clocking in at a bit over 42lbs each! That's a lot of high quality components that are all built to last. Along with getting an excellent turntable with an excellent motor, there are lots of nice extra features such as the ability to play records in 33, 45, and 78 RPM, a reverse play button, Separate Start & Stop speed adjustment knobs, adjustable pitch range buttons (8%, 25%, 50%), internal power grounding, rubber feet, replaceable pop-up light, and two start/stop buttons aligned in the perfect position for turntablists and scratch DJ's who like to place their decks in the battle configuration. To top it all off, it comes with a nice felt slip mat and a Stanton 680.V3 cartridge to get you started.
In conclusion, we recommend the Stanton ST-150 and STR8-150 Professional Turntables to any DJ or Turntablist who is very serious about their craft and need a serious machine to hone their skills. The ST-150/STR8-150 turntables are possibly the best out there on the market today. After using countless numbers of turntables in my 19 year history, I would be inclined to agree with the statement. The Stanton ST-150/STR8-150 turntables exude super-high quality and a heavy duty build
Pro's:
-All Steel Heavy-Duty Construction
-Very Strong High-Torque Direct Drive Turntable Motor
-Nice "Extra" Feature Set
-Comes with a Stanton 680.V3 Mounted Cartridge & Felt slip mat
-Turntablist "Standard" Turntable for Scratching

Stanton STR8-150/ST-150 Turntables Review Features
In creating the ST.150/STR8.150, Stanton went back to basics and re-engineered everything. These "no nonsense" turntables have everything professional DJs need, and nothing they don't. That's why the ST.150 (standard S shaped tone arm) and STR8.150 (skip-proof straight tone arm) are built first, and foremost with quality in mind. Both models offer durable construction designed to minimize feedback, industry-leading torque motor - up to 4.5 Kgf-cm, and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm. And with features like Key Correction, Reverse, up to 50% pitch adjustment, and S/PDIF digital outputs - the ST.150 and STR8.50 are strong contenders for the title of Turntable Supreme.
