Stanton Turntables: STR8-150, World's Strongest Torque Motor

Both models offer durable construction designed to minimize feedback, industry-leading torque motor - up to 4.5 Kgf-cm, and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm. And with features like Key Correction, Reverse, up to 50% pitch adjustment, and S/PDIF digital outputs - the ST-150 and STR8-150 are strong contenders for the title of Turntable Supreme.

Stanton Magnetics scooped two of the top awards at this year's highly prestigious DJ Mag T-Scan Awards, held at fashionable London restaurant Momo. The Sunday night of PLASA 2003 was Stanton's night, as for the second consecutive year they ran away with the Best MP3 Product for Stanton's Final Scratch and Best Turntable Award for Stanton's new ST-150/STR8-150.
"The Stanton R&D and engineering team are setting new standards for the future of DJ technology," said Henri Cohen, Director of Worldwide Sales for Stanton. "Winning these awards for Final Scratch and the new ST-150 & STR8-150 turntables reflect the high level of performance and quality that are standard in every Stanton product."
DJ Magazine Review Stanton Turntables: STR8-150
The ST/STR8-150 is undeniably a superior turntable to the recently upgraded Technics Mark 5G, while attractively also costing around £50 less for a pair. Every major DJ equipment manufacturer now has some serious contenders in their range to take Technics scalp, but 1210s remain notoriously enduring and popular. It will be interesting to see if this new offering from Stanton is the one to finally change the status quo.
