Great for beginning!
By Coleman Hamilton
I got two of these turntables right now at home. They are what you expect for the price. The price is irresistible.If you expect high torque, good cartridges, don't bother buying. The Staton 30's have enough torque for the beginners but not for the pros.I give the Stanton 30b's a 2.5/5 on torque, they could've made it alot better. If you need more torque look at the Stanton 80's or Numark TTX's for the pros.This is great for starting and you will enjoy them for along time just like I have. I wouldn't suggest another turntable for the beginners.If you get them you will enjoy them!

Owner of this model for a decade
By Chris
It's really a solid turntable considering the price. As already mentioned in other reviews, the motor has low torque but it's perfectly fine for basic mixing. Regardless of the low torque, most scratch techniques and basic beat juggling are doable. The caveat is heavy scratching WILL wear down the platter and cause it to wobble(thus making it extremely hard to manipulate the record without making the tonearm jump). Even with that said, I learned a few scratch techniques(like the tear/chirp/crab/flare) on the STR-30 and the turntable was still usable for light scratching/juggling purposes.So, should you buy the STR-30? If you're only looking for a set of decks to mix with then the answer is yes. If your DJ aspirations are leaning more towards turntablism, then I'd suggest you keep saving your money and buy another model or brand of turntables. Trust me on this...if you start down the turntablism path...YOU WILL HAVE TO UPGRADE.

good sounds
By space_antelope
this thing works well. course i'm not into the scratching game, so i can't speak on that. but it spins stuff and makes pretty dust noises when i listen to dusty records.
