The STR-8 150 is hefty 36 lbs 10 more than a Technics 1200. Excellent design layout for the club or battle dj in mind The cool blue light for strobe and picth makes it bad meaning good!
Features:
The 4.5 Hp motor most powerful in the game super fast start up. Never misses a beat or cue. The pack in Stanton 680 HP cartridge is a plus get's you up and running quick and sounds great. The straight arm is solid. The Pitch controls on the STR-8 is awesome you can even do Screw mixes. Reverse is great cool to use. Simple plug and play stylus light is practical and easy to change if needed And it's digital outs makes it cool for any studio application
Ease of Use:
Very easy right out the box operation! It's turntable for Dj's
Sound: Sounds great with the Stanton 680 Hp which I use on the turntable regularly.
Overall:
After 30 years of being a Dj/Producer I left the industry standard Technics 1200 for the STR-8 and I can say I'm not missing the 1200's at all

Stanton T62 Straight Arm Direct-Drive DJ Turntable with 500.v3 Cartridge Pre-Mounted Review

Stanton T62 Straight Arm Direct-Drive DJ Turntable with 500.v3 Cartridge Pre-Mounted

This turntable is great and the sound quality exceeded my expectations. This table has decent torque but if you are into scratching you might need a better slipmat or put a piece of wax paper under the included slipmat, as the stock slipmat tends to have a tad too much friction to overcome. I use this table for general listening and am very pleased with the sound quality using this table in combination with a behringer phono preamp and a Teac reference series receiver. The table has plenty of torque to clean your records with a carbon fibre brush and seems to be slightly more powerful than a Technics sl-17000 mk1 that my father owns. The included 500v3 cartridge sounds great with very low surface noise and tracks great at 3 grams (recommended range is 2-5 grams). This table has a ground cable which works well as there are no humming or buzzing noises. Sound quality is very clear and while the platter itself is fairly lightweight the slipmat helps dampen it and I don't hear any resonance or other interference in the sound. There is also no noticeable motor noise or rumble that I could perceive. The table itself seems sturdy and weighs about 17 lbs total. The rca cables and power cord are detachable which is a nice feature that even Technics tables don't have. The manual doesn't explain how to adjust the height of the feet for leveling the turntable but you can loosen the feet by turning them counterclockwise which will in turn raise that corner of the turntable. Overall this a great turntable for the money.

I've used Technics, Denon, Gemini and Pioneer but this tabletop has it all. It has a huge response on the capability of vinyl and also, the sound effects make more interesting the mixing. Absolutely outstanding.

Pyle PLTTB3U Belt Drive USB Turntable With Recording & Digital Software Review

Pyle PLTTB3U Belt Drive USB Turntable With Recording and Digital Software
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To start I just want to mention that I had none of the problems the other reviewer had (partially thanks to them). The turntable was very easy to hook up and play. The belt was where it ought to be and the pitch slider was stationed in the center. The one oddity is that this IS a belt drive turntable, but other than Amazons recently amended product description you wouldn't know it to look at the thing. Meaning the box says it's a direct drive, as does the player itself. You can clearly see the belt under the platter though. The only other indicator is a manufactures sticker on the back that says Type: Belt Drive.
All that aside I love this turntable. This is the first turntable I have owned in years, and is certainly the nicest. I did some shopping around and decided that this would be the best deal for the quality, and I am glad I did. My old albums sound great and having the preamp included as well as the extra adjustments available is quite cool. I have yet to transfer music to my computer, but I will to be soon for a friend with some discontinued vinyl. I will update this review once I do.
I would absolutely recommend this product. It is the best quality for the price that I've found.
