DJ Ready Red

"Stanton has taken the turntable to the next level. I prefer the straight arms on the STR8 model versus the ST.150s curved tonearm. I can get heavy handed sometimes but the tone arm stays in the groove along with my Stanton 680's. I'm tearing it up all night without the problems most DJ turntables will give you!"

Simon Iddol

When it comes to gear, Iddol relies on the Stanton SCS.3m and their Uberstand. He touts the SCS.3m as, “a brilliant little unit. IT is about the size of a DVD case and fits into my gigbag easily, but gives me full control on 4 tracks and all the effects I need in my Ableton setup. Plus, it looks totally amazing with all the touch sensitive faders and control lights.”

STR8.150s, “are rock solid”, “When I perform on ‘em it feels like two tank wheels rollin’…Get out the way!”

KillahurtZ

"The SC System was a no brainer. It’s compact, lightweight for train travel and has the best of both CD decks and Vinyl turntables plus more. The lack of a needle (and skipping that is caused by the wear on the time code vinyl), ability to run 4 decks virtually with full control, and the full control of Traktor make this the ideal system."

DJ Big Wiz

His tables of choice: the Stanton STR8-150's. "I love the Stanton STR8-150 Turntables. I use them at home in my studio and when ever I bring my own gear out to a gig or on tour. They're very solid and have a strong motor and plenty of features. I love that there are Start/Stop buttons on 2 different sides of the platter".

DJ GQ

“The Stanton DJ Pro 3000 headphones are phenomenal. For the past year I haven’t used any others… and because of the quality of sound and comfort, now I can’t use anything else! “I am now going to a Stanton M.207 mixer, but for about 4 years I’ve used the Stanton SA-3 (2-channel Mixer)."
