| thats what im saying . . . seriously, if you just LOOK at the build quality of the Numark 200s over the Gemini's you'd buy them. I've seen both and the Geminis look pretty bad. |

Im not opposed to numarks- I just think the 1910's i had were going south- one had more torq than the other and it was hard to deal with- well- im lazy and didnt want to deal with it. lol
So I guess it's between 200's and 500II's
if thats the line right below 1200's |

i didnt post before, but i decided to post my opinion...i was contemplating some lesser quality turntables and considered the Stantons and the Vestax (just to save some cash). Fact is, it came out to be anywhere from 300-450 to buy some turntables...i ended up buying a pair of used Techs for $600 including needles. For the extra 150 or 200 bux, get the quality decks. That way, 1. you wont ever have to buy or upgrade decks again...you are done with it...and 2. you wont ever have to worry about trying to sell your 2nd hand crap decks
just buck up and get the techs...you WILL thank yourself...i did |

| Well- I have a 80% probability to hit a football parlay and win $1200 so if i win that- ill just get the tek's. :) |

| i'd still sell off stuff just to get the techs if i was brokeass and had to do it again...i ALMOST bought new TTXs but ended up paying less for the used techs anyways... |

| Stanton ST-100's is definitely the way to go, and they are on sale @ djmart.com for $249.99 each. They have great torque and Stanton itself is a very good company. I dont trust Gemini, I find Gemini to be a cheap reproduction of the techs (like the behringers vs. pioneer). |

| if not techs, go stanton |

Well- honestly- JUST because it's a reproduction of something else doesnt mean its cheap.
You may be biased and just dont like them as a company in general.
That doesnt mean the product isnt still above average.
It basically comes down to brand and recognition sometimes-
Although tek's may be top o the line etc- a "knock off" maybe just the same exact thing but maybe a tek will last 10 years and knock off maybe 5 good years. |

Well- I just stumbled upon some 1200 m3d's with carts and cases for $600.
Im thinkin that might be a pretty good deal. |

Like I said before, Stanton used to be a part of Vestax.
Go with the ST-100.
One more thing, do not invest in straight-arm technology.
:D |

10 years? i've played on 1200s that were almost 20 years old and they still played like they were brand new. of course they've been serviced and cleaned but all the components were original. |
