Strat stop times where shagged, they clearly where good as a new deck but only being 2 years old or so id expect more.
The old stantons were shoddy mate, they really are. These new stantons really do kick ass tho. But like ive said, they still need to prove themselfs to be as rugged as Technics.

I really do think technics need to think about straight tone arm technology, and steadying the platter more. If they did these simple touches, and maybe just a bit more pitch range(+10%,-10%), then they would have a lot more to go at with the market at the moment.

If you want tried and tested, get technics. If you want something that will last, get technics. If you dont want to be disapointed, get technics. If you want something more, take a gamble and try the stantons...[/quote]
