Turntable for mixing/learning to scratch on?
Turntable for mixing/learning to scratch on? Posted on: 05.03.2013 by Iraida Linihan Birthday coming up, GF told me to go buy some turntable to have some fun with, expand my horizon's. I'm a mobile and have not determined if it's something I would ad to my setup or not at this point. I was looking at the following turntables to have some fun with, learn to scratch on. Thoughts please? Audio Technica AT-LP120 - $220 DJ-Tech SL1300 MK6 - $340 Stanton t.92 - $299 Of course I could also use a recommendation on some needles etc.... Thanks in advance!!! | |

| Elsie Golis 06.03.2013 | if you can't buy technics, don't buy turntables. or just buy one technics, one turntable is all you need for scratching and even mixing digitally |
| Maryellen Buffett 05.03.2013 | Str8150 I know its not on our list but from the research I did it seems a gr8 TT with very good spec. Mine are expected this Thursday all been well |
| Iraida Linihan 05.03.2013 | If my budget was big enough, I would buy Tech's, but it's not. So far one person said the LP120's were best of the three. Anyone else have any opinion on the three? |
| Ervin Calvery 05.03.2013 | 1200s all the way. It might take a while to find the right pair for sale. Ortofon or Shure M44-7 cartridges are fine. |
| Iraida Linihan 05.03.2013 | If I could find a reasonably priced tech 1200 I would! Not around NE Ohio |
| Emelina Chillson 06.03.2013 | The audio technica is the best option out of the three. Honestly tho mate, pick up a pair of used tech 1200's |
| Iraida Linihan 06.03.2013 | They are all direct drive. |
| Jorge Furber 05.03.2013 | When I bought mines a few weeks ago, I was told to go for Direct Drive Turntables (no belt that can break, less problems). I ended up getting 2 Stanton t.62 used for 250$CAN. I like them, they are not as quick as Tehcnics 1200 to get to the speed I want but I find myself having a great time learning on them. So, are those Direct Drive or Belt Drive? |
