What turntables to buy?

**mrpep** · 01-15-2017, 11:11 PM

I feel that technics are just a bit too pricey so am considering straton str8-150 or the audio technicas. Which of the two or is there another option in the same dollar range? I also want to add that I used to mix vinyl back in the late 80s and now have a ddj sb controller which is nice but really feel the need for the turntables. I do plan on mixing with serato if compatible. I also mainly mix older Chicago house music and older hip hop.

Do you scratch? There's no real benefit to straight arms if you don't scratch. ST-150s will look after you well enough.

I'm not a heavy scratcher since I'm just getting back into it but yes I really do like the art of scratching and plan to get into scratching.

Same, but has those midi buttons to control the software in case you use one, otherwise useless.

Ok, how do you guys feel about straton str8-150 or audiotechnica type tables? Just looking for budget that does well ...

All 3 are the same Hanpin turntable under different brands. Stanton is heavier. Reloop has best looks and layout, you can't accidentally hit the reverse or pitch button. Looks to me that its pitch slider is closest to 1200 in feel.

I don't meant to be going in circles but what do you think is the ultimate economical turntable?
