Stanton T.92 Opinion
Posted on: 13.10.2012 by Shantay Avina
So I noticed in the "four creatives ways to use traktor and ableton" video that they are using 2X Stanton T.92 turntables. They looked pretty sweet in the video and I've been able to find them for pretty cheap. They would be my first pair of turntables since I've really only been using controllers and cdj's. I thought that it might be a good bang for the buck. Except, everyone I've asked has just told me that Stanton is a crap brand and there turntables are not worth wasting your money on. Anyone used these before? Let me know!

Mike.

This. Heard good things about the T.92s but not used them personally. I'm using a trio of ST-150s and after getting over the hump of not being able to score Technics 1200 - which took all of a fortevening - these mongrels are going to be hard to replace (in that the abuse they take and still operate like a dream).

Built like tanks, wow & flutter specs fail to reflect (better) real world performance, great motor (I'm actually surprised how often I play with the start and brake dials) and solid tonearm.

I personally wouldn't go the PDX-2000. Money permitting I'd scoop the PDX-3000mix as alternatives to the ST-150. And the Numark TTX? A bit gimmicky for me and look a dog. Early models/builds are supposed to be avoided, apparently.

I've heard a lot about the St-150 models as well. I believe the problem is that people have recognized the "tech 12's" as the industry standard for a long time, despite the fact that more competent turntables have come and gone.

I've heard the same thing about the Vestax PDX-2000's and the Numark TTX's, that they're much better than the Tech 12's. To the OP, rather than spending money on Stanton T-92's try to get some St-150, PDX-2000's, or Numark TTX's used or even brand new on ebay.

29.08.2013		Hi all,

I have a Denon DN MC6000 controller and a Stanton T.92 turntable. I am new to the world of digital dj'ing, and after some struggle I managed to get the Stanton working with the Denon, but the volume output on the Stanton is significantly lower than that of the others. I don't have the gear at hand to describe exact set-up, but can give that if useful. Any help, advice, tips or whatnot would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jon

13.10.2012		I am using the t.80's at the moment, and I'm not gonna sit here and say they are the best thing out there, they have treated me just great. The wow and flutter isn't much and tracks stay aligned pretty well. For what I paid I am extremely happy with them.
