Stanton ST-150 (S-shape tone arm) super high torque turntable

RRP$1099

Voted Best New Turntable by DJ Mag. We prefer these decks over the Technics MK5's due to their amazing functionality, versatility, and of course, exceptionally good looks.
The STR-150 turntable features the world's strongest torque motor: up to 4.5 Kgf-cm! With this extremely stable platter you can speed up, slow down or reverse with excellent accuracy. The pitch control is also flexible, with choices of up to ±8%, ±25% and ±50% for more precise mixing. You can customize the feel of the turntable using the Start and Brake speed adjustments and with great sound isolation, the STR8-150 can be mounted virtually anywhere without annoying feedback. Includes a removable headshell, slipmat, cables and a Stanton 680HP cartridge.

The STR-150 features a straight tone arm and solid construction designed to minimize feedback. With industry-leading torque and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm, the STR-150 performs like no other. Features include key adjust, reverse, S/PDIF digital outputs and more.

The STR-150 offers three speeds (33, 45 and 78 RPM) for compatibility with all types of vinyl, plus quartz locking for minimal speed variance. The Key Adjust function maintains pitch at various tempos and the Reverse function creates wild effects. The S/PDIF digital output provides for easy integration with digital mixers and recorders which is great for sampling vinyl, while the analog output can be selected to phono or line. Other features include a Motor Off function, removable target light and adjustable feet to accommodate virtually any DJ booth.

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 STR8-150 are strong contenders for the title of Turntable Supreme.
