Basically I am down to these last few... Technics 1210Mk5 Stanton STR8 150 Stanton STR8 100 Numark TTX1 Rega Planar 3 Pro-ject Debut Mk3 I would have posted this in the other topic but someone posted a pornographic picture in there :( What one should I buy? |

tech = durability + possibility of scratching once in a while stanton = possibility of scracthing. numark ttx = lots of extra features.. 50% pitch and pitch-lock... rega = quality. no scratch. pro-ject = never heard of. If you never want to do any dj'ing, I'd say Rega. |

The Technics has the best feel of all those tables. The construction is superbly solid. If you are going to use it in a studio environment where you record and sample from them often, you might want to look at the which has a reverse option, and detachable rca cables and power supply. If you got the cash, get Technics. If not, consider the cheaper Vestax or even Stanton tables. |

Technics. Numark vestax(totally forgot about those) These are my vote to help narrow it down. |
||||||||

The Stanton 150 and the Numark are both around the same price as the Technics and in general have better reviews. I might just burn the vinyl I own and die from the toxic fumes. |

didn't you say you didn't want to be a bedroom dj? rega. if you think you may get your ambitions back: tech or numark. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Techs I say. Of course, if you buy more cds than vinyl, there is always |

2 if I go for decide to be a knob acting like a teenager again (by that I mean getting tech, num, or stant) :P |

The Stanton STR8-150 is probably the best turntable on the market today (at least for DJ use). I didn't read your other thread, but if you really don't intend to DJ with it, its kinda overkill. Try the Stanton STR8-80 instead. Thats relatively cheap, has tonnes of features (inc digital output), and is very reliable. Couple it with a decent stylus, and you're sorted. |

|
STR8 100 is only £20 more, should I go for that instead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the TTX is insanely awesome my friend has one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Only £20 more? Where are you ordering it from? I normally order from http://www.jbsmusic.co.uk or http://www.djstore.co.uk and both list the STR8-100 as around £50 more than the STR8-80. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i have str8-80 and it's pretty nice when it cames to scratching. looks awesome too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would one want DIGITAL output on ones turntable? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was looking at djstore for the str8100 but for some reason I thought the 80 was 199.99. I am ordering the 80 now. Thanks :D |
||||||||

|
I'll get two TTX1's in a few months if I am into this shit...otherwise I will blow up the STR880 for a laugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thats a much better idea actually i started off with shitty tables (still have them) and now that i know i'm into it i should get some good ones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Direct recording to digital media such as MD, DAT etc... its especially useful for studio/production work, or just backing up your vinyl without having to chug your whole computer with you. |

|
|
fuck i should have taken this picture with amen brother playing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wouldnt it be better to have something with a top, against dust? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because i do like those rega, and do not want scratching |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that would probably be better, but for some reason hifi decks often don't have dust-covers... the clearaudio doesn't have the either... maybe there's some interference from the cover or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You get a dust cover with the Stanton (not sure what type or what it looks like etc.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stanton looks horrible though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You think? I think it looks pretty damn nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it looks tacky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you compare the stanton to the rega or the clearaudios, they look like shit.. so do the techs and the numarks (the numarks look extra shitty, though... I never like that whole scifi design stuff). however, if you compare the stantons to other turntables of the same "class," they're pretty similar to the techs and way better looking than the numarks. However, if we bought turntables simply for the way they looked, there would be lots of turntables that were nothing more than the plate (a round disc with a motor in the middle, which would bug up the playback)... |
