turntable brand questions

[trebeatz]

hey i dont know much about turntables, and i wanted to get one to sample some vinyl, my friend said he had 2 DJ turntables and a mixer he wanted to sell me, he said he bought em for 200, and i asked the brand later and he said Ion. are these good turntables? should i buy these and for how much would be a good price for me, help me out, anyone heard of these and if they are any good?

naw dude,,,,bump that. If ya gonna spend that kind of dough you can go wit the Numark battle pack for 3 Bills. BUT, if ya just want a table for samplin, buy one. Go wit a known brand.

so if in the future i actually wanted to get two truntables and maybe do a little scratching over some beats i should go for the numark battle pack?

yup. Thats a good starter pack. You really just need one table and a mixer for scratches on a beat,,,but get the Numark pack,,,worth the loot.

once u get heavy into cuttin (scratchin) u will probably outgro those numbarks pretty quick

when u wanna step up u probably wanna look at getting some Technic 1200s, they have the best feel and torque available

I know since u startin off u dont wanna spend that much, but when u do step it up the 1200s is what u wanna go wit

Yeah don't tamper with the classics. Technics 1200 and 1210 is still the bomb. I'd say go for those.

Everyone and their mom has Technics SL1200s. They've been around for years, and they're the most steady I've ever touched. Numark isn't too far behind, so if you want to spend less dough, go ahead and rely on those sons'a'beatches.

u can get a used 1200 for like $250 now. either get that or the (cant beleive im saying this) high end numark joint if u just wanna scratch and sample. ur gonna need a good scratch mixer too. and thats not gonna be cheap. u can get a used vestax o6 ( da skinny 10 for like $200 now i beleive. or even the stanton version of it for cheap. please dont go with a numark battle back ull regret it. unless its they higher end tables and mixer with the digital xfader
