stanton st8-100 TT ?

[rick c]

Does anyone have any insight on this tt.I just got one from a pawn shop,cheap.Can it be used on a receiver with no phono or will i need a phono preamp.I realize this is supposedly a dj tt,but needed a tt.Its both digital and analog.Would like to get as much info on this as i can.Thanks

Rick, I couldn't find a lot of substantive info on this TT (several sites in Cyrillic tho') but here's what I did come up with:


MSRP: $241
Height adjustable tone arm
Quartz Lock
Selectable pitch control [+/-8, 16, 25%]
Manual pitch bend [up to 6%]
Key Adjust
Reverse function
Motor off feature
3 speeds [33,45,78]
3.5mm line input [for portable players]
Digital output
Selectable phono or line output
Remote Start/Stop input
Retractable target light
Aluminum face plate
Includes headshell, slipmat, and all cables

It's definitely a DJ-oriented TT (manual pitch bending?), but you can use it straight into your receiver if it has a phono hookup. If not, you'll need to get an inexpensive phono stage. Sorry I couldn't dig up more - didn't have a lot of time unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply,but apparently it can be connected to the receiver via line input which i did and it works fine.Unfortunatly it does not have the original counter weight and i need to set it up properly.When i played it sometimes the needle would drag accross the lp.Probably needs to be adjusted.When i get the original counter weight hopefully i'll do it then.
