if your not buying techs, and just want decks to start mixing with, go get the Gemini XL500II. get 2 of those and a descent mixer. Once you think your rdy, move onto technics.

The Gemini PT series is really good. It's direct drive and is basically a less expensive clone of the Technics 1200MK2. I know some people that have used these decks and they think they are great.
Is two of the Gemini 500II's for $315 a good price?

well they are about 160 a piece for brand new ones. I would suggest just goin to the shop and getting new ones, and not off ebay. I started out on 2 used geminis XL500II. They are perfect for beginers. Plus once your rdy to move on, its not like you threw a shitload of money away.

The Gemini XL-500ii series are okay. I ate these babies before I had my Techs. They're okay for mixing but they don't have a lot of torque.
The Stanton ST-100 is also a decent table. They cost more than the Gemini XLs. I'd go with these. You don't hear about 'em much.

Well- I had some crap numark 1910's before- Definite torq problems with those.
You know if they would be better or worse than those?

Go with Stanton. They used to be a part of Vestax.

Go for the Numark TT200's or the (supposedly coming out soon) TT500's, I have the 200s and love em. hit me back if you got any questions . . .
these tables are going pretty cheap (brand new) on ebay, and I would definitely buy them over the XL500s. I actually have a friend with the XLs and i thought the build quality looked horrible.

I don't think he wants anything to do with NUMARK anymore. That's why I didn't post any Numark tables up.
