The Stanton STR8-80 is one of the most feature-laden turntables on the market. It starts with a direct drive motor and straight tone arm and adds reverse, a mini line input jack, key adjustment to maintain pitch with tempo changes, 3 speeds, and digital output. If that is not enough it also includes a dust cover and slipmat.

"I will definitely be a return customer! Great prices and easy to use. Product came very quickly, and communication was excellent." - customer on August 18, 2010

"Great... Even if I get rid of them later, I'll always have a place in my heart for my str8-80s."
Feature:
I bought the platinum pak. it had Rca cables for the turntables to the mixer, and a couple of other small black cords(mp3???), stickers, slipmats, and that's about it. I seriously doubt that buying an individual turntable would give you many of these.
Quality:
have not had any problems with them. I've had them about 4 months.
Value:
I bought it in the platinum pak so I probably got it a little cheaper
Desirability:
The stanton "S" symbol is definite old school gangsta...can ya dig?
It would be nice to have a little bit of bling to it though.
Sound:
It sounds pretty good, I'm using dj craze 520sk's right now and they're pretty good. It would be nice to have a little more torque in the motor, but you can work around it.
Support:
Have not made any contact with company, so I can not accurately rate the company.
Overall:
I would definitely like to get my hands on some techs, but until I get the cash these are pimpin enough.

"Great!"
I own a pair of stanton , they are great for the price, very good torque, the only downside is when you tap on the turntable you can hear like a drumkick sound on the speakers.
