Dude, do not get Belt Drives, for just over a year i have wanted decks, when i managed to save enough up to buy the shitest belt drives, i was guna buy them ( the package was about £200) and i was so tempted. but i read these posts and thought about it, and saved for 4 more months. and on tuesday i finally got my decks. i got:
Numark TT1650's
Numark DM3000x
I paid £365 for it in the end. With cables, headphones, a Stanton Video and Record Bag.
I think its a really good set, i have managed to beat match the odd mix here and there and i have really got used to a few tracks and can get a solid mix in everytime. I went round to my mates house yesterday and he had bought some belt drives ( cant remember model - sorry) and i tryed to mix my records with them ( the ones i can mix) and i found it almost impossible, as when i touched the record to slightly slow it down, the whole platter stopped spinning, and the start up torque is really really bad. SOme people will tell you to get belt drives and practise, then when you move up to Direct Drives you will be really good, but DONT, get Direct Drives and a mixer that has EQ's.
Most people will agree with me too.
Trust Me, you wont regret it.
