why is that?

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 realy wonna try one!

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.

Originally posted by serban This is more of an update. I've decided to go all cd, since the technics i had weren't mine and my buddy needed them back. Now I got a Stanton SMX-401 mixer, with two Denon DN-S3500 cd players. Theyre awesome, except now i have no turntables and no way to record all my vinyls to cds.

nice Setup

Ohhhh...that explains what it is. I just fixed the problem, although it might take a couple hours for the changes to take effect.
