1200s are okay.. but its best to turn off your setup so you don't get a high electricity bill... if you get the Stanton Str8-150 or the any Stanton table for that matter, watch out cuz those fuckers will heat up quick like your bitches twat! no joke. but yeah it is nice to have a low electricity bill, so your not gettin nagged at cuz the bill reached 600 cuz you left your vinyl pusher on all nite... haha!
