Stanton T.62 MKII Professional Direct Drive DJ Turntable with 300 Cartridge

I really don't understand why this turntable has such a low rating... and why someone would give it a 1-star rating if they don't know how to use it. This is a perfectly fine turntable. It doesn't come with a plastic dust cover - just a cloth one - but works just fine. One of the best, carefully packaged products I've seen as well. If you're looking for a sub $200 turntable that will not disappoint, get this one.

I'm a beginner turntablist, so far it has done everything I need. Powerful enough motor for scratching and beat juggling. Like I said I'm a beginner, but this has made learning fun because it works. Can't blame the equipment for my mistakes.👍

Wow what an amazing turntable for $150. This is my third turntable along side project debut carbon and audio technica AT120 and I have hooked it up to a OSD preamp and then amped by Marantz and played through fluance SX6 speakers and the sound is encridible. A must buy for anyone who is heading for a professional set up but constraint by cost.

I'm just a music fan and once a month DJ. I needed to replace my DJ decks, Stanton is a brand that I trust, and these were on sale!I guess these are kind of Stanton's answer to the Technics 1200 line. I don't possess the ability to tell you how these compare to thev1200s, but they put out sound and spin reliability. They are sturdy and heavy, good for live applications, and sound good.Pluses: enough like the 1200s for muscle memory to kick in, will play 78s! (Push the 45 and 33 button at the same time), heavy, reliable and sturdy, handsome (those blue lights!), easy to set up ( internally grounded), and pre mounted with a perfectly good cart and stylus.Cons: full of bells and whistles that I will never use, like a reverse button (?), some kind of computer connectivity (I think it's called "usb" and to me it's as useful as tits on a bull), for some reason it has a power button at the back, AND a motor off/on switch, along with the start/stop button. I have heard that it has a partly digital signal path, which is disappointing, but not a deal breaker, especially for DJ use. All and all, a great bargin at the current price, if not for the every night heavy use cutting and scratching type DJ or analog purists.

Unboxed and ready to use within minutes. Using this to sample vinyl into a DAW and it works very well. Durable materials and built well. Comes with a nice dust cover as well.

People need to leave reviews that help people. This is not a one star turntable. Not even close. This a great driect drive table. A straight arm ensures nice tracking, with the cartridge premounted out of the box. The price is hard to beat for what this turntable offers.

Great back to basics turntable - no built-in preamp, no cueing lever, no auto-return. Very quiet operation, great sound, direct-drive - very hard to beat for the money.

It’s a good price, but the motor is weak and the slipmat it comes with is too heavy. Because if this latter the plate is lethargic and cuts can be sloppy.

Tornamesa de gran calidad y profesional, quize comprar una más pero subio bastante el precio, estoy en espera de conseguir una oportunidad o promoción.

Firstly those who are giving this anything below 5 stars have clearly no idea how to set up a turntable. I never give anything 5 stars but this TT deserves it.This is marketed as a DJ turntable but its actually a pretty good sounding audiophile grade TT (only if setup right). Just remember to add a good phonostage, that's it!! SQ is amazing for the price. I compared this to my friends Technics 1200 and this definitely sounds as good if not better.Don't even hesitate to buy this if you wanna get into the world of vinyl.

Bought 2. Reasonably priced solution to play vinyl without the annoying gap between tracks that happens with switching between albums or songs on only one turntable. One unit the left channel wasn't registering - fixed by pinching the needle connectors with a small pliers to fix a loose contact. I fix things - maybe you don't. Remember this an analog world. Its about contact and vibrations. You will also need to buy a mixer to make my setup work. Attached picture says all.

Pre calibrated tonearm, cartridge. Only counterweight need to be set after unboxing and leveling on horizontally set platform. Everything is ok. Pre amp needed for audio section.

Excelente tornamesa, buena respuesta y calidad. Para el precio es una muy buena opción para dj amateur o apasionado de los viniles.La única desventaja es que no trae tapa rígida, pero aparte de eso todo muy bien.
