Coming Soon: Stanton ST/STR Turntable Decksaver Covers

We've been fans of the Decksaver products since the beginning. For those who aren't familiar with them, the Decksaver is a clear shatter-proof cover that rests snugly over DJ equipment to provide protection and to look good while doing it. These covers always fit perfectly over their intended device and they also stand the test of time. Mixware.net (the US distributor for Decksaver) has announced that the Stanton ST-150/STR8-150 has a protective Decksaver on the way and we'll be sure to get a pair in the lab for our own custom turntables.

We've been fans of the Decksaver products since the beginning. For those who aren't familiar with them, the Decksaver is a clear shatter-proof cover that rests snugly over DJ equipment to provide protection and to look good while doing it. These covers always fit perfectly over their intended device and they also stand the test of time.

(the US distributor for Decksaver) has announced that the Stanton ST-150/STR8-150 has a protective Decksaver on the way and we'll be sure to get a pair in the lab for our own custom turntables and we'll shoot a quick video in the process so you can check them out for yourselves.

The Stanton ST series of turntables are one of my favorites, but they always lacked proper protection in the form of a dust cover. Over the years, I've personally used soft-covers, but it never looks as good as my Decksavers for my other pieces of gear. Now that the ST turntables have dust covers, I'm sure lots of owners everywhere will rejoice. Mixware states these covers will be available later today (November 1st) through various vendors.

The Stanton ST-150 and STR8-150 "Super-OEM" turntables have been on the market for almost ten years now. These turntables have super-strong motors, lots of advanced features, and a solid build quality. The one thing these turntables have been missing is a dust cover! Stanton turntable users FINALLY have a dust-cover solution in the form of Decksaver's newest product release. Mixware.net (The US distributor of Decksaver) has sent us a pair of these new covers to put to good use and I'll show you how they look and fit in the full setup.

Decksaver Covers are our favorite way to protect DJ and Production gear here at the DJbooth.net Labs. We have Decksavers for the Stanton ST.150's, the Traktor Z2 mixer, the NI Maschine Studio, the Vestax VCI-400, and more. Decksaver continues to add to their lineup at this year's NAMM 2015 show with the new covers being released for various DJ & Production gear that has been released in the last year including the S8, NV, PLX-1000, and more.

This year at Musikmesse 2013, Stanton has announced that their long standing flagship turntables (the ST-150 and STR8-150) will get new cartridges included in the box for all future production runs. So if someone purchases a Stanton ST-150 (S-tonearm) turntable, they will get a TrackMaster V.3 uni-body cartridge and the buyers of the Stanton STR8-150 (Straight-tonearm) turntable will get the SM V.3 headshell mountable cartridge. Check out the full press release, our turntable review, and a few words on the upgrade after the jump.

In my opinion, the greatest analog turntables on the market right now are the Stanton STR8-150 (Straight tonearm) and Stanton ST-150 (S-tonearm) decks. They have super-strong motors, sturdy construction, and a familiar layout that works flawlessly. It seems that the DJ's and teachers at the Scratch Academy also think the same as they use the Stanton 150 decks in their everyday setups. Check out the video inside to see what the Scratch Academy DJ's have to say.

It's not everyday that you get a comparison video between analog and digital turntables. On this rare occasion DJ Demonite puts his Denon DN-S3700 digital MIDI Controllers up against a set of Stanton ST-150 turntables and a set of Stnaotn STR8-150 turntables as well. In this three way battle, you will see DJ Demonite put it down on the 1's and 2's regardless of gear type. Check out the full video inside.

My personal turntables of choice are the Stanton ST-150's and for very good reason. They have very high torque motors and they are built like tanks with a pretty solid track record to boot. The folks at the SAE Beat and Breaks Battle also share the same sentiments as the (straight-tonearm counterpart) Stanton STR8-150's will be used as their standard turntable for the National competitions this year.

We're big fans of the Decksaver Covers which we use to protect DJ and Production gear here at the DJbooth Labs. We have Decksavers for the Stanton ST.150's, the Traktor Z2 mixer, the NI Maschine Studio, the Vestax VCI-400, and more. Decksaver continues to add to their lineup with new covers being released for various DJ & Production pieces that has been released in the last year including the Pioneer XDJ-1000, Numark NV, and more.
