Oh geeze... if you buy belt-drive TT's, you'll have a nightmare of a time trying to mix on them.

Mixing timecode vinyl is exactly like mixing real vinyl (well, minus changing the record, or reading the grooves). If you have crappy turntables, you'll be one unhappy DJ with either.

How about some used 1200's? Lots of people seem to be dumping theirs.

OMG, i totaly meant to say Direct Drive...
Yea ive heard of the nightmares dealing with the belt drives,
and im currently experiencing the nightmare of CDJ overpricedness.

1200's are the CDJ1000's of TTs, but whats vinyl equivilant of the 800 or 200's?

I think Serato + some tt's would be the solution to my problem, and I could always use the OK CDT525 from my set for sampling or something

You should be able to get some used 1200's in basically perfect condition for no more than $300 per deck, so I don't see a real reason to go any cheaper than that.

Check craigslist for your area.

You can also look at Torq, it's significantly cheaper than SSL.

Used 1200s.

Seriously. There are Technics, and then there's everything else. Accept no substitues.
