Dj Gear-Stanton T.60 Turntables

[JCrAzYATX512]

nice video, I just bought some t.60s. Cool track in the back. Any good tracks you would recommend?

[ftknox4life]

i just got my t.62's and i need to know how much weight do i need to have on the needle.

[DudasMiska]

Go on the internet and type in the model number of your cartridge, it will show you the needle weight, should be between 3-5 grams as a general rule though.

[Nerte85]

Manual for my t.60 said 1,5-2 grams. That's what I used. But I found out a lot of my records were skipping. Now I'm at 2,25 grams and plays mostly fine.

[DudasMiska]

yea I made mine 4 cause it was skipping so much, its good now

[thedjatomix]

could you hook up the t60 to traktor?

[DudasMiska]

no but you can use traktor time coded vinyl

[DeLLaEnrico]

how much weight do you use in this needles?

[djbistronica]

nice oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee check my vidssssss

[DudasMiska]

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol

[xBrandonTranx]

Which one should i get? T62 or T60?

And if im getting a T60, where can i get one?

[HartWall93]

t62 would i choose

[S4Mo8]

there the same thing

[xkizxgigix]

would you reccomend cd turntables or vinyl?

im a beginner and dont know whcih to get. thanks

[DudasMiska]

records are funner but more expensive, cds are cheap, smaller and you can do more with the cdjs

[Matt90o]

It also depends on what genre you want to mix. Some genre music just isn't for sale on CD's, but just on Vinyl

[DudasMiska]

I suppose so

[doubletime16]

its completely up to you, watch some videos of both, and its whatever you enjoy watching more would be a good fit for you. If buying vinyl records is too expensive for you you can look into virtual vinyl, or something like serato scratch live which allows you to play mp3s through control vinyl, same feel, except songs are playing though a computer or laptop onto the vinyl, its alot cheaper after the initial purchase to get tracks. and you don't have to carry tons of vinyl around.

[DudasMiska]

YEA, I use traktor scratch pro, well and cdjs

[ivan14wreck]

Thanx from Houston, Texas. Props

[DudasMiska]

np, cheers

[bobobobo628]

hey great review. im looking at buying the new t 62's. do u think itll be a good buy for a mixing dj?

[DudasMiska]

I cant really tell you what you should or shouldnt buy, try to read all the reviews of the turntables your looking to buy and compare them...go on the internet and also read the forums they have about certain turntables.

[blkchrm77]

i read the reviews but i cant get enough information about torque. i dont really mind the mixer anymore.

[blkchrm77]

i have a question. is it better to buy 2 str8 80's for 160 or buy 2 t60's with a m202 mixer and headphones for 300? if i get the str880s i might get a cheap numark m1 mixer.

[DudasMiska]

I dont know what you want/need exactly make sure you read the reviews on the turntables and gear your planning to buy and compare the pros and cons.

[DDeDokter]

Thanks alot for the video :)

[DudasMiska]

np mate

[Slayed719]

i know this sound stupid, but can u use any mixer with any turntable?

[DudasMiska]

yes basically, any turntable that has an analog rc output (red and white) you can plug into the mixer as long as it has analog phono input, remember turntables go into phono not line in

[tailzz14]

so is it normal to buy the turntables and mixer separate? im really really new to everything and i want to learn how to scratch and mix and everything.

[DudasMiska]

Yea ofcourse, there is no one telling you that you have to do this or that, besides most people have different brand turntables compared to their mixer...you can buy them in packages and they look like a great deal but their usually bad quality.

[djadam96]

hey wat do you guys think of the stanton t.60?

would it be any good for scratching?

thanks....

[DjBazUltra]

i am new to turntablism so i know less about them

what does having less torque mean??

[DudasMiska]

when you press start the platter doesnt get to full speed as fast....and when you put your fingers on the record and apply pressure the platter spinning under the record slows down more

[DjBazUltra]

oh ok thanks

[vn66]

what do you guys think about the stanton t-80 tt?

[kumbo]

these tables suck balls. No torque what so ever

[DudasMiska]

well yes thats a big problem now, but when you first start out its good enough for beginners and such, and isnt that expensive, although for like 100dollars more you can get much better

[spiritOfDestruction2]

it;'s not just a fancy light to see the needle.. It allows you to check the ribbons along the platter. It indicates if you are using the right speed or not..

and 7 inch singles are still mass produced...Probably not in the dance/electro scene though..

[DudasMiska]

Yea I vaguely touched on the speed indication, didnt want to get into it to confuse people though...and yea not many house, trance, progressive tracks come out on 7".

[fisherdan99]

wrong its called a target light

[DudasMiska]

yea ok

[humandog]

What do people think of the stanton t 62??

[tjhtid]

the very same as the t60 only its black

[HaxXx1]

All they changed is the color scheme likely..

[conza125]

am jus starting out djing n av jus brought the t62's the t60's replacement n a m201 mixer do you no if there any good

[EraofAwakening]

their all right. gets old pushing off the queue after a while.

[bqjamsz]

i have a question im buying

a stanton turntable for my bf

im not familiar to what else he might

need to actually get started on mixing

and stuff. Any suggestions?

&& where can i buy records like that?

[DudasMiska]

Great, get the Stanton T90 though or T120 because their only a few dollars more and are better, this one is alright for a beginner...

Hell Also need a mixer, the Pioneer djm 400 is good. He also needs speakers logically, and an amplifier to power the speakers, as well as wires to connect all that if they dont come with the speakers or mixer or amp. Records may be hard to get so its best to get Serato Scratch or Traktor scratch so you never have to buy records again...and a laptop helps.

[foulmouthc1]

small tip, never remove the platters when the power is switched on as you run the risk of either blowing up the unit or hurting yourself.

[heizmon69]

is that a remix of moonlight party playing?? holy crap i'm so jealous how'd you get that song on VINYL!!!

[DudasMiska]

Back home in Hungary I have other dj mates, and I got that from him! I was pretty thrilled. Cheers.

[maeseone]

just one question though, are stanton turntables better than numarks? 'cause i'm planning to get my set next year..and i want to be sure on what i'm getting. thanx..

[maeseone]

hey DudasMiska, one question though, are stanton turntables better than numarks? 'cuz i'm planning to order my set next year so i need your advice thanx. nice video by the way

[DjmadDness2008]

hey nice vid how do u make torque beta coz wen i slightly hold my hand down it stops can u plz help me

[DudasMiska]

Yea I know that bothers me too, you have to be very light with it, and you should be with turntables in general too, but this one in particular is weak, so all you can do is get a better set of turntables.

[DonCrake]

One thing I've also heard is getting some felt and cutting that out to the shape of the vinyl, greatly reduces the friction and works the same as the majority of slip mats out there. Another tip is from the plastic or paper sheet the vinyl will come in to cut out a vinyl-sized circle and place that beneath the slip mat. This reduces overall friction greatly and works especially well with low-torque models

[shizzleshnitzle]

put an old record under your slipmat :) i put a 7" julio iglesias single under there and it works like a charm! the platter keeps spinning at almost full speed when you stop the record!

[mattb087]

I got the Stanton t80s & they are perfect or scratching & have the same torque as 1200's! As for slipmats just get some BUTTERRUGS theyre thin as fuck & absolutely kill the standard slipmats that come with the table. Also if you want a nice scratch sound upgrade the catridge to a SHURE M44-7...

[DudasMiska]

Already man thanks!!

[dexter3b]

Hi! Im 13 years old, and im looking to buy them

do you think they will be good for everything?

I want to spend about 230pounds. If there is something better for this price could you tell me please.

Thanks

[DudasMiska]

The Vestax turntables are better, and if you want to stick to stanton, the T80 is even much better, or the T120 I heard is good too, and its only a little more expensive.

[GlooVey]

Hey I order my T.60s this week can't wait to get them!Pretty nice video as well.The hardest thing that I found is what do you put these babies on?Because of space and all that and if you don't have big enough tables lying around your house but banquet tables are cheap and have a good enough space so if you continue DJing you extra room for future gear.Anyways again very nice video.Cheers!

[DudasMiska]

thanks man!

[cvsgtr643]

great video m8, i will be getting one of those soon, i ordered it about a week ago and cant wait to get it delivered to my door:D

your video is really good by the way 5/5

[DudasMiska]

Glad you like it! Cheers!

[bryness]

hey man, what do you think about this vid?

on youtube, just copy paste watch?v=X1YWmTl5V4I.

i'm just wondering what you think cuz he's REALLY cuttin it up on the t60. i mean it's obviously no technics table, but for a budge table, it seems nice. i've heard of really slippery slipmats might help accommodate for the lack of tq a bit. whatcha think? message me.

[DudasMiska]

sorry lol, pasting doesnt work...but you know what, slipmats dont get much better then the ones that come with it, and those arent too impressive either, also dont forget that its difficult to make up for lost torque...you know I would buy the Stanton T120s if I was in youre position-they may be a bit more expensive but its more worth it in the long run...make sure you check out my new vid I just made on selecting dj gear, it might help!

[DudasMiska]

I would defanitely not reccomend this turntable for scratching, it barely has a strong enough motor to mix, let alone scratch. Sratching I would reccomend either the Numark TT200's or the T120 by Stanton, but remember Technics makes the best turntables (ex sl1200)that suits every djs needs-top of the line, you may have to spend a bit more but its defanitely quality. For a mixer I would get Numark Dm1050, the djm 400 by pioneer is best though, either way remember dont go too cheap!!

[DJPaddy643]

great vid...i saw on another vid that a little 'problem' with these, was the torque.

how do u find it?? can u slip-cue easily while keeping the platter spinning??

[DudasMiska]

yea I was thinking of mentioning that...but I dont want to discourage anyone from buying these, they really are beginner turntables, I was a bit dissapointed with the torque as it really is a bit weak and makes cueing a bit difficult, but you get used to it and its great for a beginner...Im saving up for a pair of Technics Sl 1200's.

[DJPaddy643]

thanks

[Nrw170]

which is better numark battle pack or Stanton dj lab 2??????

[DudasMiska]

Thats really up to you, I heard the numark's headphones are a bit cheap, but they have reverse on their decks which is perhaps a good thing, Stanton is great in that it has deck covers, and comes with fairly good accessories.

[stevenzincke]

Hi buddy ,nice video but I noticed you have the tonearm weights on backwards with the measure to the back,by the way what do you set the weight at? I have been told to set it to between 2-5grms so I have gone between this,any advice would be appreciated.

[DudasMiska]

Yeah, lol, I do have the weight on backwards. I was just setting it all up not long ago and I was in a rush haha. To figure out youre weight ratio most catridges come with recommended tracking force advice, if you cant find it you can go on the net and type in youre catridge modell and figure out the rest through there, generally most hi fi dj cartridges track between 3 and 5 grams. Really though it comes down to how you use youre decks and you can adjust to suit yourself accordingly.

[HaxXx1]

Awsome vid really like it im buying the Dj lab 2 cuz of this :D But i still dont get the dots or knobs you talked about like when you were explaining the light on the power switch

[DudasMiska]

I was just mentioning how those dots you see, that are lit up by the red light, move in relevance according to you adjusting the pitch...the light is built into the power switch.

[DJPaddy643]

those dots are crazy!! i know wat theyre for, but i havent got a clue how they spin at different speed/direction when theyre on the same lump of metal!!

[DudasMiska]

just dont worry about it lol, I wasent trying to confuse you, I was just mentioning that the movement of the dots change as you alter the pitch lol, you just see different dots in the red "field of vision" that the light creates
