from my experience stanton ≠ sturdy unless you get the $500 ones which grub discourages anyways

So to add to the monitor debate here are some more badly positioned monitors hahah
I love these HR-624's Want to sell the B&W's and Amp to get another set for this room and put this set in the pic in the studio

If any one wants a set of like new Fostex PM1 mk2's in the UK you know who to call lol 200 quid for the pair



Nice record there man, that Holy **** one.... I just worked with them not so long ago, cause they were playing at this venue here in Amsterdam where I work as a sound tech.... it was a great gig, and they're very nice people.... they're very much into vinyl.

sorry for going off topic dudes...

I like it. Gets the job done and sounds good. Only issue was the stylus that came with it, somehow messed it up a couple days after buying it. Luckily I had a replacement from my old Numark.

Yeah. That's one thing I keep my eye on a lot. It doesn't give off too much heat, but I keep my eye on it when its on and its never left on when I'm not here or sleep.

Spent the whole day painting the room...pain in the asss and now moving in the new gear MEGA pain in the ass, still need to wire everything up and work out how many new cables do I need lol
Some of the gear still also needs to be moved in, need a second set of monitor stands that are higher, need some acoustic foam shiz and need to get rid of my 3rd set of monitors!
