Any Turntable Recomendations both for Sampling + Final Scratch?

[DrOscillator]

Are there any turntables out there that I can use to sample records from for my beats AND control an MP3 DJing program (eg scratching MP3's)? Whats the best one? I'm looking for something around $200. I just got a ton of old vinyl from my uncle and I want to start sampling, but I also want something I can create scratching effects with and use to DJ alongside my laptop live.

numark is legit...i've used the ttx's for like 4 or 5 years now. good decks.

grab a stanton 120 on ebay. Best turntable period.

for sampling: any direct drive would do. the cartridge is what counts.

for scratching: Technics all the way. You can get an used Tech 1200 for $200 on ebay.

"Technics all the way"

I used to think that, not anymore the Stanton 120s smoke the 1200s in every way.

Techs are the best , numark is as good imo, but Stress I would try and cut with that deck you posted, str8 arms rarely if ever work well for that.

thanks guys- I ended up getting the Numark TT-200's for christmas and they seem pretty nice. I haven't gotten to actually use them yet though because I found out I needed a cartridge (dumb) and pre-amp... soon though, can't wait to get my hands dusty!
