Should I buy Stanton T-120.C or wait 1.5 months and get ST-150 ???

now ive read a lot of reviews/overviews and it looks like their tech.specifications are identical. the T-120C is about 60-100 $ cheaper, but the ST-150 looks more sweet (think 12X0 mk5 ) and includes a 680HP cart+stylus
whats your opinion?

get the 150's

The 120C's are too plasticky for my liking, I don't agree with having pitch bending buttons on a TT, and the 150 just feels more solid and serious.

i kinda like the idea of pitch bend buttons on a TT. i don't know about how practical they'd be though. i've heard nothing but good things about the ST-150, i'd say go for those. there's a 100 dollar price difference betweent the 120C and the 150 for a reason.

Wait, not going by anything technical, but from the gut, thats how you need to look at things like this...

If you wait and buy the 150's then you'll feel like the wait was worth it, you'll feel more excite dfor the wait and you'll appreciate them more,and feel cooler.

Good thigns come to those who wait.

believe me - they are practical. ive said in a previous thread i have made a back2back comparison of Tech 1210 mk2 and Stanton T-120, and T-120 totally kicked the Tech's azz !!! the pitch buttons rock, their so easy to use , its almost cheating

Yeah it all comes down to the fact that Stanton make the 150 as there leading turntable... Its build so much more solid than any of there other decks, I am a massive fan of my 150's and love them to death, but all of stantons other decks I think are just to plastic and trying to look like some kind of space shuttle.

The 150's are totally the way to go, Just the overall look and solid steel build make them the wise choice, and at the end of the day if its only $100-$150 difference for you will it really be that much harder to save up the extra coin... If your brutal and dont go outside you will have them in way less than a month and a half.

the 1.5 months waiting is not about money, its just that they are not in stock right now

Posted by DavidL913 on May-22-2006 05:32:

get Technics...

j/k

I own a pair of 150s with nightclub S carts....love em to death!

Doesn't the ST-150 cost the same as techs?

Posted by blacknoizybox on May-22-2006 14:33:

take in mind that I live very f**king far from the major dj scene, so in Ukraine the prices are:
Technics 1210 mk2 - 650-700 USD
Stanton S-150 - 600-650 USD
Vestax PDX-2300 - 600-650 USD

Definitly wait and then choose between the techs and the stanton.
If you can test them both out and see how you like them.
Iv realised that although stantons are pretty good we still dont know if they can last as long as techs, just for the fact that they havnt been out that long.
So for now my allegiance is with technics.

Posted by Daniel Jay on May-22-2006 22:35:

Where is the "neither, I should buy Technics" option?

Posted by Timski on May-22-2006 23:59:

Sucks a fair bit of arse that it takes them a fecking month and a half just to get a pair of decks in stock... Seems they dont even want your business.

I doubt if there will be a great choice if he bounces back from techs to the stantons... There simply the better option these days, and Tommy next time your around a pair of either lift the platter of the Tech and the Stanton and compare... There the same just one design is 30 years old and the other is the newer version.

got the 150's instead of the tech's and never looked back.

150s 12X0's ass

the cart that comes with the st-150s the 680hp is a very good cart too. i'd say go with the st-150s i have a pair and love them.

plus they have a digital out at the back for converting ur vinyl collection to mp3

^^Actually I think (think) the 120.C has that too.

Seriously, get the 150's though. You will regret not getting them if you have have 120Cs, the advantages are subtle (ie not much in the features), but for an overall quality and finish the 150 is streets ahead. Definitely worth getting over the 120.C.
