I plan to get these this weekend for a trade for my Mixtrack and DJ IO. They have Stanton Craze cartridges but I'm not sure if those are the stock carts or not. I can't really find information on em but I know someone around here can tell me something. Even if it just about the Str8 line of TTs let me know. I'm urgently needing some opinions on them as fast as possible. I'm going to use them on DVS with my VMS4 on VDJ. Like I said I'm desperate for advice so don't be afraid to post! Thanks!
They're beginner tables. You can scratch on them IF you have light touch AND have good slipmat. FYI there's not really difference between the T60's & T 62's, same torque. Search youtube to see people using the T-60's or T-62.

Haroon Al Qahtani has a vid talking about T-60.

I'm not sure I would consider any Stanton turntable below a T.92 acceptable for DJ use. However, the T.92 and up are quality kit.
Um...I'm talking about the Stanton Str8-60s. I'm pretty sure the Str8 have a better reputation, especially because of the low torque on the T.62 and T.60. The Str8-60's look more like Technics with the straight tone arm and the way the layout/buttons look. That's all I know on the Str8-60s though. That's why I've come here. Thanks for posting though!
Really? I remember on DJF the reviews said that the Stanton Str8-50 and up are decent turntables. I wish I could read them again because that's all I remember.Quote:

Surprisingly I found a guy who would trade for the Stanton Str8-60s with Craze needles for the Numark Mixtrack and DJ IO. After like 2 months of no luck this came up. So I'm thinking I better take the opportunity.Quote:
