opinion, knowledge on tables and mixer that i found for sale

[oliver]

this is what he is selling...

2 stanton str8-80 tables
1 stanton Sk2 mixer
comes with slipmats and 520sk carts

all for 1000$... Is this a decent set-up? I don't really know the technical side of what makes tables better than others beyond that technic 1200s are the accepted standard and that direct drive is a must... It seems like a fairly good deal to me...

the stats:

stanton sk2 mixer:

also, one immediate thing i notice is that the tables have a straight tone-arm, rather than bent slightly... what difference does this make, is one better than the other?


what does anyone think about this gear? much appreciated. Thanks!! :)

i use the 520sk carts

it does me well

but like i said those decks are shit compared to the 1200's

Pretty much a wack set-up
it just aint the same without the 1200's
the mixer's also fairly lame as well, but hey your decision

whats wrong with the mixer? i've used it b4.... not bad.... but not good like the djm600 of course

[SoniK]

the stanton decks are pieces of shit.. i'd rather use a belt drive (well no i wouldnt) They're nice to look at, but the torque is worse than gems

I have proof :)

Thx ppl :)

it's not that bad...

mixer is decent, and will do what you need...
tables, are alright... But I think everyone here has techs...

750 would be a better deal...

It's good to learn on, but it won't last to long...
