The Stanton T92 is a solid built and excellent performing turntable. I bought it for converting my vinyl records to mp3 format and it works perfectly for that task. It comes with a Stanton 500.v3 cartridge which works very well for 33 and 45 rpm records. If you are going to record 78 records you will need to purchase an additional cartridge that is made specifically for use with 78 records. A hard acrylic dust cover would be the one thing I would like to see added to this already fine product.
In previous reviews of Stanton USB turntables, many have complained about not being able to hear the audio as it is recorded on the computer. If your equipment and software are configured properly, you can hear the audio as it is being captured.
My setup for recording is as follows:
1) The T92 is connected to the computer via the provided USB cable.
2) The computer soundcard Line Out jack is connected to a set of powered stereo speakers.
3) I use the free download of Audacity 1.2.6 available at [...] for capturing the recording. Be sure to set the Preferences in Audacity as follows:
- Playback Device: The computer’s soundcard.
- Recording Device: USB Audio Codec – Input
- Check the “Software Play Through” box. (This is what allows you to hear the audio as you record it).
With this configuration you will be able hear the audio as you record it. The switchable Phono Out/Line Out capability also allows you to connect the turntable to your home stereo system when not using it with the computer for audio capture.
All-in-all a great flexible use turntable.

I bought this turntable to replace a belt Sony PS-LX300USB USB Stereo Turntable System – Black . I really had many problems with that belt turntable (skipping and tone arm not responding to stop button) so I decided to get a direct drive turntable.
The anti skating system is great and after using the turntable for more than two months I’ve never had a skip!!!
The construction is really solid and setup was easy following the little instructions they provide.
The usb conection and software provided are easy to use and the few test I’ve made tranfering lp’s to mp3 were great.

Overall, I am fairly satisfied with the turntable. It has been at least 15 years since my Technics spun records so I don’t have fresh memories of how things sounded that long ago. I will say that my 30 year old high school varsity band album sounds as good as I remember it sounding many years ago. I have noticed a slight imbalance in the platter but at this price point, it is probably expected.
The Good
- Build quality seems good overall
- Needle and cartridge come with turntable
- Setup was easy
Not So Good
- Platter isn’t flat(or balanced)
- Software supplied is poor (not user friendly and after completing my first album and saving, it crashes trying to open saved project…get Audacity
- Had some trouble with USB connection
I would have given 4.5 stars if it weren’t for the platter and stinky software.

Ordered the turntable directly from Amazon. Works great as previous reviewer noted. However, equipment is either used & returned or has been refurbished. Was in a previously sealed and re-taped box. Would have thought that the item would be new as promised!
