## Description

In creating the ST-150, Stanton went back to basics and re-engineered everything. This "no nonsense" turntable has everything professional DJs need, and nothing they don't. That's why the ST-150 (standard S shaped tone arm) is built first, and foremost with quality in mind. The ST-150 offers durable construction designed to minimize feedback, industry-leading torque motor - up to 4.5 Kgf-cm, and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm.

Review: Move over Technics 1200!! - Ever wondered what it would be like if a CDJ and turntable had a lovechild? You're basically looking at it (DON'T even mention the Numark CDX...it's not anywhere near this) I'd been a CDJ user for a long time, with a brief fling with some less-than-stellar entry level Gemini turntables. I knew how to mix on vinyl, but generally preferred the CDJ for its added features, reliability, etc etc. Well I started growing bored with my setup, and I wasn't spinning as much as I used to, so I sold off everything and bought two of these with a Traktor Kontrol Z2 mixer. I considered a pair of Tech 1200s, however at the absurd price people were asking for a set of used ones, and these proved to be a better deal ($373 per table from desertcart Warehouse Deals). Since everyone compares almost any set of TTs to the iconic Technics 1200, I'll follow suit and use it as a reference point. Torque: Plenty on tap, more than the 1200. Adjustable start/stop times (to give you that slow spin-up/spin-down sound if wanted). Durability: I have a feeling this thing could stop a bullet. Heavily damped, never had a problem with vibration. Of course, this is also a bedroom setup and I haven't put this thing on a subwoofer with 1200W going through it, so take that with a grain of salt. However according to info I read elsewhere online while researching this table, this thing is considerably more dampened than a 1200, however this comes with some extra weight (Technics are roughly 30lbs, these suckers are 45lbs a POP). If you're putting them in a coffin, be ready for a workout. I opted for individual cases for just this reason when I travel with them. All in all, for basic playback operation, you're looking at something pretty close to the 1200. However these are considerably newer than the 1200s, and as such, have a lot of modern features available that really allow this turntable to shine over the 1200, in my opinion at least. Line preamp: This is perhaps the best thing anyone has come up with for DJ turntables. I can't stand walking into a club, setting up the house Techs, and realizing one of the ground lines is jacked up, or someone screwed up trying to ground it internally and just left it there. Not a problem with this bad boy. There is a built in digital line preamp available that boosts the phono input to a line level signal. These tables are also internally grounded, something that I would have done via mod to a set of 1200s anyway, so this was an added perk. However this is only the half of it. With this line preamp, it enables you to do all sorts of nifty things like pitch lock, key lock, and oh, you know...+/- 50% PITCH BEND. This lets you do all sorts of nifty tricks with track tempo. The standard +/- 8% is still available, as well as +/- 25. After being on CDJs for so long, the wide pitch bend feature has probably been my favorite. Stop/start buttons on either side, so whether you have them in standard or battle position, reaching the stop/start shouldn't be a problem. A Stanton 680 cartridge comes with the turntable, and for a stock cart/needle combo, it's not half bad. I use these with timecode records and Traktor Scratch Pro 2, so at the moment can't attest to how they sound when playing straight vinyl. As a DJ/scratch cart though, it does pretty well. Die-hard turntablists will probably replace it with the classic M44, but for people like me just starting their foray into vinyl, it'll serve just fine as a starting point. Also, saving an extra $100 on not having to buy a needle/cart combo was a bonus for me. Finally, this table will spin 33, 45, and 78rpm records. A 45 adapter comes with the table, however there is no slot on the table to put the adapter when not in use like there is on a 1200. I have no 45s, so this was a non-issue for me. The fact that it has a 78 option I thought was a pretty cool perk. Let's go to the Con's now: One thing I liked on the 1200s and my old Geminis was the ability to put a spare cart in the corner of the table as a place to hold it. No such luck on these, but no big issue. I don't have a spare set anyways! This final part actually is a legitimate issue, and has been brought up in multiple reviews of this turntable: The ST-150 does NOT ship with a dust cover, nor is there an aftermarket one made, at least to my knowledge. "It's ok though, I'll just wipe it off occasionally" you say. This sucker attracts dust like crazy. I have to gently pull the dust out of the needles just about every session. Find a way to cover this thing, because it'll look like a massive 45lb dust bunny otherwise. Despite these shortcomings, I love this table so much that none of the cons I listed were enough for me to deduct a star. All in all for DJ use, this thing is just as good if not better than a Tech 1200. If I had to do it again, I'd probably choose this one over the 1200. For strict playback, it's almost identical, but the march of technology has given the Stanton a few extra bells and whistles that some people will love (myself included) and some people could care less about. For those looking for old school playback with new school features, you would be hard pressed to find a better turntable.
Review: Fantastic - The movers wrecked my vintage Kenwood KP 2022A TT, so I ordered this as a replacement with the insurance money. I looked at Project Debut Carbon & Music Hall, but in the end I discovered that only the Stanton has a removable headshell. Since I use different cartridges for different applications; this is a MUST!!! Try holding the arm & messing around with tiny screws to change catridges on the others, let alone aligning them! This is one heavy mother & solidly made too. The double boxes (factory) took a bit of abuse from the shippers, but great styrofoam inside saved it from at least one puncture all the way through. The setup instructions are failry terrible but I got'er done with special care throughout. I'm not real sure what the 2gr weight on the headshell is for & it seems that you need to back the counterweight almost all the way back to get it balanced. I may remove it & rebalance, as I see no use for it at all, unless maybe the DJ's need it, but I'm far from that. Fortunately it just unscrews so I can put it back if required. On the test LP's the sound is great, but I haven't compared to anything directly yet. If I can get the old Kenwood fixed I'll see. The 680 cartridge sounds good compared to what I remember from my Shure M95HE. I REALLY like the options for output & the "secret" grounding switch that is not mentioned anywhere. Using phono out I needed it switched "off" & line out "on" to get rid of some humm??? I also like the little "needle light" which helps see if there is any dust or lint on the needle before you let it down. All in all, maybe I should have moved sooner so I could enjoy the new technology. Lots of switches & buttons to play with too! The only bad thing is that it's fully manual, but I'll get used to that. I used to manually cue with the Kenwood, but an auto return would be nice in case you get "busy" before the side is done. Any 65 year old DJ's out there look out!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does is come with the Trackmaster V.3 Cartridge or the 680HP cartridge**
A: As far as I Know, the ST.150 comes with a 680.V3 cartridge, but Stanton recently announced that will replace it with a Trackmaster.V3.

**Q: Where is it made? Thanks!**
A: These turntables are made by Hanpin, a Taiwanese company with branches in China, Hong-Kong and Singapore.

**Q: Where can i find a set of replacement feet for the stanton st-150 and how would i install them? thanks, thomas long**
A: I was able to get a new tone arm from Full Compass.com. You might try there.

**Q: Does Stanton offer an OEM plastic Dust Cover for this unit?**
A: If they do I havent found one yet. They do offer a cloth cover, but I would say that is the one short-fall I have with the turntable is the lack of a plastic cover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For audiophiles not just dj's
*by G***S on January 11, 2013*

Some features not mentioned in the manual, Stanton web site or other reviewers. 1 The underside of the platter is a thick coating of vibration dampening rubber. 2 The top deck is 1/4 inch steel plate and 3 the sides and underside are rubberized to dampen vibration and give grip to make handling easier. 4 The cartridge is a 680v3 now and for stylus pressure in audiophile use should be adjusted without the 2g weight on the headshell.. I am an audiophile and recently tried a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon believe me it couldn't compare to the 150 in any respect. The Debut was delicate and unstable. The 150 is Gibraltar solid and completely silent. All controls have a solid feel. For those who want to know Stanton informed me that the digital out was off of the line level out not the phono so its bandwidth is limited as a result. A good external phono amp should be used in audiophile applications. I adjusted stylus pressure to 3.5g then checked it with my Pro Scale LC50 and the scale read 3.52g so the counter balance is very accurate. The 680v3 stylus picks up little Lp surface noise but I will be using my Shure M97xe. I recommend replacing the felt mat meant for scratching with a rubber one which will facilitate cleaning records more easily. I recommend using the stanton headshell for other cartridges to ensure good electrical connection since using an Audio Technica shell proved a poor connection. Stanton customer service has been very good. I have received detailed answers to my 4 phone calls. The Pro Scale LC50 is available from [...]. They gave me great customer service as well . 2/12/13 to overcome hum dont bother with a hum destroyer which I tried. Use a good external phono preamp and do not ground it. Switch the ground lift to lift position. Then run an insulated wire from the ground post or a screw on the center back of your receiver or preamp to the ground on a metal power conditioner (surge arrestor) I own a Monster power conditioner. If your surge arrestor does not have a ground post use a screw on the metal chasis of the arrestor. This completely eliminated all hum for me and I now hear only silence at max volume (no record playing of course). If this does not work instead of grounding to your arrestor ground directly to the wall receptacle. Throw the breaker off first. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars was the hum problem and Stantons rudeness the last time I called. Make no mistake about it I would not own any other turntable in the under $800 price point and I have reviewed all the offerings in this range. I called Stanton about the problem and now I was treated rudely They told me the table was defective and to ship it to California for service!.
