Stanton T62 Straight Arm Direct-Drive DJ Turntable with 500.v3 Cartridge Pre-Mounted Review

This turntable is great and the sound quality exceeded my expectations. This table has decent torque but if you are into scratching you might need a better slipmat or put a piece of wax paper under the included slipmat, as the stock slipmat tends to have a tad too much friction to overcome. I use this table for general listening and am very pleased with the sound quality using this table in combination with a behringer phono preamp and a Teac reference series receiver. The table has plenty of torque to clean your records with a carbon fibre brush and seems to be slightly more powerful than a Technics sl-17000 mk1 that my father owns. The included 500v3 cartridge sounds great with very low surface noise and tracks great at 3 grams (recommended range is 2-5 grams). This table has a ground cable which works well as there are no humming or buzzing noises. Sound quality is very clear and while the platter itself is fairly lightweight the slipmat helps dampen it and I don't hear any resonance or other interference in the sound. There is also no noticeable motor noise or rumble that I could perceive. The table itself seems sturdy and weighs about 17 lbs total. The rca cables and power cord are detachable which is a nice feature that even Technics tables don't have. The manual doesn't explain how to adjust the height of the feet for leveling the turntable but you can loosen the feet by turning them counterclockwise which will in turn raise that corner of the turntable. Overall this a great turntable for the money.

Stanton C.324 Tabletop CD Player With Slot Drive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm DJ Krystoph and I want to review these Stanton C324 cd turntables. I had two purchased new and I used them for about 10 months. So, I am speaking from actual experience. As a DJ I always look for informative reviews on products any of us might buy.I bought these because like most of us I have a normal mans budget and Pioneers just weren't gonna happen. So the C324 seemed a great buy for the time. These players have major issues!!!!Run away from them!
1. They freeze up if they stay paused for more than 60secs...wtf!? I had to turn the unit off and then back on to reset them.
2. Totally inconsistent playback of any burned cds. I tried 6 different burning softwares and no difference. I never knew when they would read and not.
3.tendency to skip and jump on MP3 cds. Have no idea why.
4.Would simply stop playing an hour or two into a set and I would have to do the turn off then on thing again.
Need I say more?
In the spirit of fainess, they always read new store bought cds and the effects work great and all the time. But that hardly out ways the other issues. Thats my real life experience, I hope it helps.

Stanton T92USB USB Direct Drive DJ Turntable Review

Stanton T92USB USB Direct Drive DJ Turntable
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Stanton Uberstand Laptop Stand Review

Stanton Uberstand Laptop Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just used the Stanton Uberstand for a club DJ gig. I had to travel via train to get to the gig and I was lugging around two laptops and an Xponent, so the Uberstand's light weight and flat profile (when folded) was a real plus. The body is also solidly constructed, and its silver finish is complementary to my Macbook Pro 15-inch unibody. In order to fit the legs of the stand under my Xponent, I have to place my Xponent on some drink coasters, but that's not a big issue (helps keep the Xponent off the table in case of drink spillage). When set up, it feels solid and unlikely to topple over when bumped. The rubber at the end of the legs also keeps the laptop from moving while balanced on the top. The stand also comes with a snug-fitting carry case.
My only gripe is that you need a (provided) plastic handcuff thing to hold the base in place when you are setting it up. I can see myself losing this plastic handcuff eventually, so I would prefer some mechanical locking mechanism instead. Other than this one gripe, this is an excellent product for mobile DJs.

Stanton C402 Rackmountable DJ CD Player with MP3 Playback Review

Stanton C402 Rackmountable DJ CD Player with MP3 Playback
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this from Amazon, installed it in the rack, and played about a dozen CD on it before it stopped reading the discs. Commercial discs, home-recorded discs, Music discs, data discs, mp3 discs. . . . you name it: it won't read it. The machine just takes up space in the rack now. Unless I'm missing something, there seems to be no way to contact Stanton, or to get any Customer Assistance, or Tech Support.
