Yet another stupid versus : Numark 1650 vs Gemini Pt2100

Hi there, I know this is another versus but my search on the forum didn t helped to make my mind (and I ve read the rules don t worry I m just a little stupid).

Here is it : for the same price I can get
2 brand new Numark 1650
or on the other side
2 not so brand new Gemini Pt2100

So what are ur advices ?

Gemini PT 2100's mate..

I used to spin on them, they are great decks, strong motors. Just overall great decks for beginners. Prolly one of Gemini's best decks.

The 1650, well I find to be pretty fucking weak. The local record shop has one or two for pre-listening, and they just seem really cheap IMO.

If you buying used, Just do a quick check to make sure to set the deck in Quartz Lock and look to see that it holds pitch and isn't fluttering.

My budget is around 450� (~300�)
In fact for this price I can get the 2 Gemini and a Numark mixtable
or only the 2 Numark 1650.
What I forgot to say is that the Gemini are my brothers one, I already know these. They are a little crappy on the outside but inside they are still good.

Btw thx for the answers

I'd recommend the Geminis aswell, there very good beginner decks.

I owned a set of Numark TT1600 and they were not bad decks for a beginner. They were durable, reliable and cheap. I have not used Gemini decks so I can not comment on them or tell you to pick the Numark's over them. But they 1600's I had were nice decks for the price.

for �320 you can get 2 Numark TT200 decks, DM1002MKII mixer, numark headphones & cartridge & stylus x2.

Not from a dj shop but.....from me I'm selling my setup so pm if your interested.

those two decks are not even in the same league. go with the 2100!

I own a pair of the gemini pt2100's and they are a very good intermediate deck.

Comparable to the 1210 (mk2) in my opinion, and yes i have spun on both fairly frequently.
