| I've not much experience when it comes to Dj'ing so a good question to ask would be whats the difference between Belt driven and Direct driven turn-tables? Also whats best for a person thats just gonna start Dj'ing? Thanks in advance.... |

| I'd recommend you look at the "newbies" thread... Anways, you want direct drive turntables, belt drive ones will make life miserable, they don't hold pitch worth . The best decks for DJ'ing are Technics 1200's, they are like $400, but worth the price, as it is the industry standard. |

| The 1200s are arguably the best decks. However, it all comes down to a matter of preference. The Numark TTX1 and the Technics 1200 are the top tables available and some like the techs, others like the numarks. |

Companies should seriously abolish belt tt's. Direct drive all the way.
DJ1MK dont for get the Station STR-150/STR8-150 - those are pretty good tables as well. |

I agree. They have more features and are 0.01% pitch accurate (just as the technics are.) And, they have a HUGE torque: 4.5kg/cm²(1.6-1.7 with techs). I do recommend these... |

| It doesn't matter which turntable you think is the best one for you, but the main rules: no belt drive, no belt drive and of course - no belt drive. :crazy: |

direct drive. period.
If you can afford it, get 1200s. If not, go for something maybe half the price but still reasonably good. I currently have Stanton STR8-60 and they're very good for people like me who need a decent deck but can't afford the techs :p |

| Belt drives are good enuff for playing records you just want to listen to. I just don't know why some companies have those beginner packages with belt drives in them...beginners will see the low price and not know any better. |
