Stanton STR8-60 Direct Drive Turntable Review

This is by far the best beginner table you can get. I got my first pair on ebay for under $200.
I've played on most ttables (I own 1200's now) and can say these were the perfect beginner tables. Most DJ's starting out will naturally be attracted to the Numarks because of their slicker styling. The TT-200's have been marketed and talked up to be the universal "best" starter tables on the many DJ message boards. Don't do it! I know a couple dozen other DJ's that learned this the hard way when starting out.
Most overlook these Stanton's because they're a little older. But these tables do what most new belt-drives and Numark's can not: hold a pitch.
Yeah, the TT-200's have a little more torque and look cooler. But you won't care when your mixes are drifting after 30 seconds due to their high wow/flutter %. And if you read many reviews, you'll find out what I found out the hard way at a gig; TT-200's speed up their tempo when you try to slow them down. This is really annoying when you're in the middle of a mix and try to slow down the platter of a drifting record. The 'wonderful engineering' which has a motor that attempts to compensate for the change of speed ends up making your mix gallup even more.
I've had my Staton's for over a half decade now and have had no problems with the motor. These suckers are built to last. And you won't have any trouble learning to beatmatch because they're very reliable. Most newbie DJ's get so frustrated because they're trying to learn on turntables that simply won't keep a consistent speed. For under $200 for a pair on ebay, you can't match these.
