Stanton t60 / t60x versus Stanton c314 and Technics 1200

November 12th, 2009 by admin

Does one *really* need the venerable Technics 1200 anymore? A lot has changed in ten years, and my answer is no.

The Stanton t60 and t60x are identical turntables (the former comes with a cart while the other does not). In this video I demo the t60, and also pit it against Stanton’s c314 CD deck. See how the two perform in scratching. I am using a Shure M25C cartridge, Shure’s entry level cart that goes for about $30.

Also check out my classic rock megamix that utilizes the t60x here:

    seems like the record has a softer scratching sound. as opposed to the c.314 which has a much crisper and sharper sound (you can obviously tell it’s digital being manipulated)
    I’m looking to get one or the other…I do sampling/effects and very little scratching…so it makes more sense for me to go with the c.324s (or c.314s) but wow is it expensive lol

    I was shocked when I saw a review that said it had 1.5 kg/cm, when others have like 5.0 kg/cm.

    The T.60x/ T.62b are basically the turntables that come without the cartridge; which makes it a bit cheaper.

    It’s not quite under $200 but the American Audio QD5 would be a good choice. Get some Butter Rugz for the T60s too.

    Peace.. Thanks for showing me the scratch capability of the tt60. Right now I’m using the vestax vci-100 midi controller for my mixes. I’m originally a vinyl dj but my 12’s got jacked a few years ago so I migrated to the digital realm. It sounds good, just like vinyl but the vinyl feel just isn’t there with my unit. that’s what i miss. All that just to say I will be copping 2 of these. Any suggestions on a mixer with a good crossfader curve for under $200?

    Hi I was wondering …
    Hi I was wondering if you could post a demo on how to properly calibrate the t60. I just bought one and when I use it with traktor the BPM jumps around slightly. I don’t know if it’s because the cartridge isn’t on properly or if the tone arm counterweight is not balanced properly. I am new to mixing so this would be a great help.

    Maybe how to set the cartridge properly because it’s a straight arm and how to balance it with the counterweight.

    Thanks.

    Ridiculous cutting by the way!
