Most audiophiles use belt drives.

Well if your spending money on an audiphile quality belt drive then you can afford to buy a pair of techs or stantons.
The main point is that a dj shouldnt realy buy belt driven turntables.

Yeah I agree if a turtable is ment for djing and it's a belt drive it'll genrally be of low quality. That said the entry level direct drives can be just as bad really in some cases.

Originally posted by x_moe thanks guys for the helpful info., so should i look more into Technics or Numark, i found pretty nice dj package from Numark with everything to start djing, and it looks pretty good enough for me to start practicing on it, and maybe few months after i can upgrade.

If you're planning to upgrade anyway, why don't you just save yourself the money and hassle and buy good decks in the first place? You'll learn faster and if you decide you don't like DJing after all then you'll resell them easily, whereas belt drives (esp the dj in a box packagers) will just go in the bin.

are you telling me that i shouldnt buy those packages, coz some packages come with direct drives, and i find it cheaper then buying everything individually

What you want to steer clear of are all-in-one starter packs for DJs, that are sold with 'everything you need to get started' (tts, mixer, headphones etc), for under £200 like this (soz I don't do $$$$). However DJ stores sometimes sell more expensive packages put together themselves like this., which are a safer bet (but still not as cool as researching the equipment yourself, trying it out and making your own decisions, I think).

Bottom line - you get what you pay for.

would it matter if i bought two different kinds of turntables, would they still work good together

Originally posted by Dervish Just for information, I'm currently enuberated (sp) but he point of my little jibe was that people tend to go "technics technics technics" without even trying other decks. You'd be willing to say technics were better than "panasonic" decks even though they are the same thing. Now what does that say? You choose. But it is one of my pet peaves this technics bandwagon (note you're in the magority). Right I did quote you in my sig, but I recon your just trying to be helpful so I'll take it out but open your mind ok?

Thing is I was one of the people who was going to get something other then Technic initially. Thankfully I continued on with my research and did end up getting the Technics. They simply are the best dj turntable out there.

In theory yes, but it might be annoying as the decks might behave differently...and why would you want to do that anyway?

save up for some technics. you'll be glad you did
