 Coolness: 153215 | Looking into buying a basic turntable to start practicing and doing my homework for my upcoming SAT "exams"... props uk514 for the opportunity of doing so with them this june 13th.
Anyhow, what should I be looking for in a basic turntable, normal pricing for such a turntable? Any information you may give will be greatly appreciated. Also, I don't know any DJ slangs... so keep it... english. ;) Thanks ya'll. |

 Coolness: 685750 | Everyone is going to tell you to get at the very least technics 1200s. I think that's a pretty good way to go. If you want to go further than just mixing, the Vestax PDX-2000 might be a good choice. |

| Coolness: 153215 | Ok... newbish as I am: I went to [ futureshop.ca ] and found this.
[ www.futureshop.ca ] Is it crap? How much does the technics 1200 and the Vestax PDX-2000 cost? What I wanna know is... what the hell should I avoid and try to get since these things seem to have so many different gadgets and options. |

| Coolness: 685750 | It's crap. Hardcore. :b
You'll need a TT that's Direct Drive, meaning that a motor moves the platter directly, instead of Belt Drive, where the motor is seperate and a belt turns the platter. You'll also need a pitch controll on it, or you can't slow down or speed up the records to beatmatch. [ www.moogaudio.com ] Go check out the store. Whatever you do, spend money on something QUALITY for your turntables. I've got the Stanton Str8-30s and, well, they're good to practice on, but they have a totaly diffrent feel from other higher-quality tables. If your serious about it, you really should get at the very least Tech 1200s. The PDX-2000 is a good alternative that I *think* is cheaper. It's got all sorts of extra bells and whistles, but that's not what matters. What matters is that the platter has a lot of torque behind it, which helps a LOT when your cueing or scratching, and the tone-arm on it is rock-solid, which is really usefull in any situation. |

| Coolness: 153215 | matt, you have no idea how the bass line bumps thru my vains so easily :) imma call moog now and ask if they have any "per month" payments... cause my father just went to the country place before I had the chance to beg some money. damn it!
