Can anyone tell what the difference is? I`m almost buying a st8-150 or a st-150 that has the s shape arm on it.

| Straight arms are geared more towards scratching because they hold the groove better but also wear your records a little bit more. S-shaped tone arms are more for just mixing so unless you're going to be doing a lot of scratching go for the s-shaped arm. |

straight has better tracking
S has better S/N ratio |

If you want more technical reasons why s shaped is better for most users here's why:

If you scratch, just get m44-7. Those hold a groove like no other. Forget the str8 arm. |

By the way, the majority of the Stanton TT range (certainly all of the recent ones) come in the "str8" and the "st" variety, and I believe that each corresponding model is the same price. So the only choice you should need to make is whether you want a straight or S-shaped tonearm, and not base your decision on TT features or price. |
