As much as I appreciate you taking the time to type that out, seriously learn some punctuation, reading that hurt my brain.

I thought he was giving me the run... but I took it anyways... Techs are the best, their is no doubting it. 30+ years on that same design and they still are going strong.

Its funny how that happend because i had the exact opposite. The guy here at a big australia music store was telling me the techs where not worth it because they die after 2-3 years and that i should go for the stantons. Im not sure but i think he has now won the dumbest salesperson award. I realy think because of my age he took me for a complete idiot...

I know ! These forums are a nightmare, you can pleace as many space between your posts but this forum set up makes the posts end up being one big block ! Saing that, the lay out has nothing to do with punctuation, does it ?? I mean I;m fully aware of how to use commas and full stops or is it that you just made your brain hurt ???

Just a quick note here.

I've had my stanton str8-100's for 4 years now and i still find them as accurate with the pitch control, the motor still has the same torque as it did and the everything on them does as it should, the only problem with them after 4 years is the 33/45 rpm buttons, on one of my decks the 45 button has got a little sticky, meaning i have to press it more than once to get that speed (big deal, just means i need to give the switch a clean and it will be back to normal)

And after 4 years i still prefer these decks over the technics that i use in clubs.

Yea, I Djaind last Sat on a pair of technic 1200's and found that on both of them you had really press to switch it between 33 and 45.

I figure I will add my 2 cents to this, guess I would know as well as anyone the performance of an st-150... Due to the fact I have 3 of them. The extra features are gimmicks just a little something extra to add, the key correction is useless unless the deck is running via the line out instead of phono out... It's only really useless for about 3% then it just sounds like the echo effect gone wrong.

I use the reverse feature... It is interesting what you can acctually do with it when you acctually have some creativity... Play Elecktrochemie LK - schall (backwards) layered on top of DK8 - murder was the bass (orig or Tomie Nevada mix) as an intro to a set, and tell me that don't sound cool. I also get into the turntablism thing so i use it there a little bit too.

78 speed... look I don't know why companies still insist on adding this to decks... they need to let it go.

I am sure at this point a few of you are thinking why would you get these over technics "omg wtf... etc", I have explained why in other threads and its because there a very solid workhorse and have never let me down, Ive had 2 of them for fair long while now and they still hold up as strong as the day I got them. Truth be told I prefer using them over technics the extra torque spoils you and gives your mixes alot more control.

The wow and flutter issue is bullshit... Its not even slightly noticeable and truth be told I think 150's hold a pitch just as well as any tech if not better, not to mention because of the amount of torque your corrections happen a lot faster by just using the pitch control. Also for those who say there is too much torque... give me a fucking break. Maybe instead of criticising you learn how to mix.

I am not trying to convice any technic fanboys to rush out and buy these the fact is I don't really care, not to mention it's a pointless arguement... Like whatever the you want to like and whatever the makes you happy to mix on. most people on these forums that have acctually used the 150's have just had a quick play at there local dj store or simply read a review or just decided they plain out don't like them, so they cant really pass judgement for how they go for long mixes and how they go over time... If anyone is wondering, I mix techno so there is not a very long stage where I will have only 1 track going at any given time unless it is a quiet spot even still I usually have a filter running over the other track for shits and giggles.

At the end of the day like and use what you feel comfortable with, I think vestax make an awesome deck but I just didnt feel comfortable mixing with them... for a scratch though nothing will beat them... DJ Woody proves that. I still love the technics and do not have a problem with them and never will... I mean there a trustworthy and reliable beast, I just like using my 150's more...

BONG ON CHAP ! I was going to say tho, I don't see the extra features as gimmiks, I do see what you mean tho that the basic deck witht features aside does make them even better sturdier work horse than the technics thou and I think they really are the best deck on the market. The extra features I find fenominal with all the extra live stunts you can pull off and even the 78 setting I use. You can get a a long 'HUmmm' or 'Screech in a break down, hit echo as you start and stop the deck with the start and stop set to work slow and you get whale like sounds over the other track, do the same again set on different speeds and it sounds amazing if you use the right track. I'm selling mine in the for sale section in this forum as I'm going into Cd and Pm3 mixing, plus it looks like I'm going abroad but I just know I'm going to look at buying at least one when I get there. You other guys that stick to 1 deck and manufacturer, please step back and widen your horizons. Top Stuff ! Dan Warb
