Looking for mid range turntable

[Will MaXimal]

Hey guys...


So i have started to build my new setup (thank you Andrew B ) and now that i have some great CD decks... i want to start thinking about vinyl. I dont really feel like paying $800 dollars for a pair of used technics if i can get a nice mid level deck for half the cost.

I was looking into the Stanton T.92 decks as my first choice.


I dont need anything built like a Technics in terms of the casing as these decks will only be used in my home studio, however i would like a deck that was close to the technic quality in terms of sound and strength of its direct drive motor (torque).

Can anyone please recommend a few different decks? I might be able to score the T.92's for $500 new (for a pair)


Thanks Guys

Also, not looking at the Numarks because they just look to much like toys to me. Also looking for S-Tone arm


To all of the TTX owners out there... dont hate me.

As far as good sound quality and strong motor, the options are nearly endless. I have heard great things about some of the Stantons.

Buy a Super OEM

+1 on super OEM, though it should be fairly easy to find a used top brand pair (technics or 150s )of in decent condition.

The prices for second hand decks are insane right now... No way will i drop a grand for used decks

Never heard of this deck?

No one else wants to chime in?

Alright... Its between the Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB and the Stanton T.92


Can anyone please give me some feedback on these decks?

Putting in an unwanted vote for the TTX. Try one out. Trust me.

Go for the Audio Technica AT-LP1240. It's the same deck as the Stanton 150, which is better than the Stanton T.92.
