I've seen a bunch of Ecler Nuos in this thread...the ST-150s I've seen a couple. Not many people bought the stantons, especially who spin trance.
I have the str8-100s though...I'm gonna post updated pictures later today (my setup is also on page like, 20, of this thread...but it's obviously changed a bit in the last few years )...for some reason my server's temporarily down.

Those stantons are becoming pretty damn popular. I hear that many clubs are using them. I know there are a also many TAs out there who will take a stanton over techs anyday.

I have the 501. Excellent bang for buck I think. Mate of mine had his over 2 years and its still working as the day he bought it and he plays tech and scratches alot so you can imagine the abuse it gets. The P&G x-fader helps alot with durability. I had the choice of a stanton and a vestax pcv i think it was and chose the stanton after seeing how much my mates has stood up against abuse. Another thing is he doesnt cover his mixer after use and all the sliders are still spot on. I cover mine all the time so mine 'should' last some time. The build quality I should mention too is spot on.

Mostly because people are unwilling to try new things...people just buy the technics. Also partially, I think, because Stanton offers some cheap models that quite frankly suck...and people just assume that because those suck, their higher models suck too. Which is not the case.
I have the STR8-100, which was stanton's "flagship" model before the ST-150 came out...and I like it more than technics, definitely.
Here's some pics of my stuff (updated quite a bit since my last post in this thread three years ago, hah) - (if you don't see pictures here, here's a link - www.djjoncaserta.com/studio.htm)
Includes:
DJ Equipment:
Stanton STR8-100 Turntables (2)
Denon DNX-1500 Mixer
Denon HP-1000 Headphones
Pioneer CDJ-800 CD Deck
Numark Axis 9 CD Deck
Stanton S-250 Piece of Shit CD Deck
Shure Whitelabel Cartridges and Needles (2)
Sony MDR-V500 backup headphones
Pioneer HDJ-1000 in-case-of-disaster backup headphones (they've been glued a few times)
Stanton Headshells with Stanton DJ Craze Cartridges and Needles for messing around with hip-hop mixing(2)
Gemini PS-540i Mixer for screwing around and feeling nostalgic
Marantz PM-94 Amplifier
Acoustic Research TSW-610B 3 way speakers with 12" subs
Enough vinyl/black crack and CDs to play continuously up to and throughout the next ice age
Weird, the second i opened up the other page the pictures loaded in the TA page.. But at first i just got a bunch of red crosses..
