6 out of 10
Feature:
It has the standard requirements: pitch shift (+/- 10% ), 33/45 rpm, keeps the bpm right, etc. The torque is a bit weak but one gets used to it quickly. What's really important here, if you wanna use it for scratching, is to buy a pair of really good slipmats. That will counter-effect the weak torque. Try the DSM-9F from Stanton, very low friction.
Sound:
It has a good sound. The stylus and the mixer matter much more to the sound. So, choose a Shure M44-7 and a decent mixer and it sounds great.
Ease of Use:
It's robust and easy to use.

Quality:
The stanton T.60 truntable looks like it is well made, but it has a cheap plastic feel to it. The motor does not put out enough torque to keep the platter spinning while you are cuing a record.
Value:
This turntable is usless if you plan onbeat matching or scratching. I don't think it is worth the selling price. If they would have given it just a little more torque it would be worth it. It is only worth it if you plan on playing records without ever having to cue them.
Ease of Use:
This turntable has very little tourque making it diffucult to cue the record properly. When you stop the record the platter should continue to spin until you release the record. One this turntable it is near impossible to stop the record without stopping the platter.
Overall:
Over all the stanton T.60 direct drive turntable is a good looking turntable designed to be marketed towards the beginner DJ. If you were to start out DJing with this turntable you will probably not be DJing very long. The lack of torque makes this turntable useless and it would make it very hard for anyone to learn the art of mixing. I started out playing on Gemini xl-300s which were Gemini's cheapest direct drive turntable and they blew these away. I know you are not goin to get a technic 1200 for that price but you should at least get something that works properly and something that you can learn on. I would look into the Gemini TT-02 or the Numark TT-1650 as they are about the same price.
