no, not really.

maybe if they are REALLY good stanton needles, and they come with an extra set of stylus or something..

but you can get a brand new tech 12 for $399, so $600 is not a good deal.

unless of course, it's $600 for 2 decks, then that is a wicked deal.

Well, I bought a pair of MK2 1200, in very very good condition, they even has the Dustcovers, and they came just with 2 Technics Headshell, a pickering Cartrige, and they costed me 300 USD bouth,.. so i think that price for that is a little pricey.

yup, he mentioned "turntables" ... so 2 for 600 is really good. might i also suggest a test run to see if theres any problems.... i would try running two duplicate vinyls at low, normal, and hi pitch at the same time. if theres any fluctuation, then there might be something wrong w/ the quartz or magnet.

sorry m8, it's $399 US dollars, i saw the guy asking for help was from the US, so i quoted a US price.

cheapest i have found them in canada is $650, i just bough 4 m3ds, of from the an electronics shop down the street. it took a bit of haggling, but they did it for me. 2 for me, 2 for my friend.
