-- which turntable to get??
which turntable to get??
im gonna get a pair of tts for ma bday...ma first pair. Im looking at the TTX Numarks...price isnt really a factor...but i dont wanna ask for a 2000 dollar gift u know what im sayin? anyways if anyone can give me some feedback on them or why i should go with techincs or any advice...id greatly appreciate it thanks
I'd do a a simple search, as there's so much information about the Tech's on these forums.
Short answer:
Techs are known for their awsome reliablity, have a great resale value, are the industry standard, have all the torque you need, and don't have all sorts of extra shit.
I'm sure someone else will tell you more about the alternatives 
I've been reading up on the forums on the same topic...man if you have the money...get the Techs. Everyone is raving about them and for a good reason! Although personally...I am a broke ass...heheh I am going for numarks to start off with :P BUT JUST TO START OFF WITH AND MAKE SURE THAT I TRULY WILL LOVE WHAT I AM DOING. Although it seems like i definitely will.
Do some research and check out some Soundlabs... Killer decks man... 
hahaha.. get Techs, Plain & Simple.... MK2, M3D, MK5, or MK5G's.... it don't matter.. just get Techs...
OK im a tech freak, i own them and love them. However, numark ttx-1 are a serious contender. If your gonna just do mixing then go w/ techs, if you want to scratch and do weird stuff than at least play w/ the numarks.
Get a pair of 1200s.
High, high quality. I love mine!!

Get the techs. I'm about to sell my TTX1s.
get the techs. i started with numarks, learned how to beatmatch, tried convincing myself to get the ttx, bought the techs, and love them.
If you go with Techs, I recommend not getting the Mk2s. I have them and and love them, but the pitch lock notch at 0 sucks. All the newer ones don't have it.

one of the reason why im having trouble on deciding is because for a cheaper price...the ttx offers more torque...display(shows pitch change...and bpm counter)...dont feel like listing it all but it offers more than techs for a cheaper price...however i do know that if i go with the techs i wont regret it....any comments tho on how the TTX offers more?
Well here is my problem. Everything about the TTX1 is great except for ONE THING. The digital pitch adjust is terrible. You need analog pitch adjust to have tracks right on when beatmatching (and to stay right on). I loved the TTX1s for a while, but the digital pitch adjust just doesn't cut it. Get the techs, nothing else about the TTX1s makes enough of a difference to make up for the digital pitch adjust.

i used to own a pair of techs before i switched to the TTX1s. IMO the TTX1s feel a whole lot better to mix on than the 1200s. The main drawback is that if u start DJin out and the clubs u play in use techs you will find urself very akward usin their setup because u've become accostumed to using a turntable with such high torque.
both a great tables. you won't go wrong with either
i'd recomend going to guitar center or some place where you can try them out and see which one you like more.
the good thing about technics is that they are the standered. if you play out anywhere you are almost guarenteed to be playing on technics.
if you really can't decide get a ttx1 and a technic.
Definately go with Technics, you absolutely will not regret it.
I was posting the exact same thing that you are on this forum a little over a year ago, and I decided to go with everyone's advice to buy Techs. You'll know you made the right decision as soon as you start unpacking them from the boxes. 
About the only other deck I've seen lately that really caught my interest are the newish Stanton ST-150s.
Get Technics..
A bit of advice on the TTX: I've had it a month now and have never used any of the digital features on it. I absolutely love the feel of the table though and I guess I like the idea that if I want to use key-lock and super-pitch adjust, I have that option. My other table is a Numark TT500, which is basically a TTX without the digital stuff but, it still has the high-torque direct drive motor. One other thing I like about the TTX is that it comes with a neoprene slipmat. Man I love the feel of that slipmat! I mixed with the felt one on my TT500 roughly ONCE before I gave it the boot and ordered a pair of neoprenes from Numark.
I had my first chance to play around a bit with a TTX at the vinyl shop yesterday, didn't like it at all.
One thing I found really goofy about the LCD display - why exactly do you need to see your pitch percentage, and how on earth is a BPM counter that doesn't show fractions remotely useful? (Aside from BPM counters generally being bad to use period...).
