That headline is a quote via DJ Digital Josh from his YouTube Channel entry for this clip. Sounds a bit blasphemous to the vinyl junkies in the room, but I’m sure he’s got his reasons. Whatever the case, this DJ Digital Josh clip is fun–love the jazz samples mashed up with the “two turntables” mantra again and again. This one’s circa 2006.

Stanton STR8150 DJ Turntable
This is the one–the drool-worthy Stanton STR8150 DJ turntable, complete with a straight, made-for-scratching tone arm, a high-torque motor, and some amazing features turntablists will find irreplaceable.
We don’t have one in-house to review on video for your pleasure…yet. But we are moving some cash around to afford the just-under-$500 price tag for the Stanton STR8150. You get key correction, a reverse function, and up to 50% tone alteration. How do you like THAT versatility? This three-speed DJ turntable has our full attention. We did manage to dig up this VERY helpful YouTube video below–a demo with a pair of Stanton STR8150s, have a look at this and ask yourself…are you tempted NOW?
This Stanton DJ turntable gets rave reviews in many places. One thing many reviewers like is the fact that out of the box, you get the Stanton 680HP Cartridge to spin that vinyl with…no need to shell out for a needle until you’re well into your experience with the turntable. Nice touch, Stanton.

Stanton T92 USB Turntable
After you’ve purchased a couple of Goblin LPs and the Escape From New York soundtrack on vinyl, if you’re put the cart before the horse and need a turntable to play them on, you should give serious thought to a USB turntable like the Stanton T92. Yes, you can purchase turntables made in the old school mode, with just a couple of RCA outs, but why when you can get the Stanton T92 USB turntable with its USB plus SPDIF outputs.
Yes, the Stanton T92 has RCA outs, and they’re switchable between line and phono. Add to that the pitch control and direct-drive motor and you’ve got yourself a sweet little deck you can use for converting the vinyl to MP3 (including those dusty old 78 RPM vinyl records), doing a DJ battle or just chilling out to the Deep Red soundtrack.
The Stanton T92 USB turntable is not yet a part of the Turntabling gear rack, but the price is right and the high-torque direct-drive and SPDIF out is making not getting one a bit difficult. We’re just waiting to hear from a user or two to throw a review our way and cinch the deal. If you’re in the know, drop a comment and give a review–we’d love to know what you think.
