Ok- I dont want to buy Tech's so whats the second best decks out there in the mid price range?
DJErnieP
if your not buying techs, and just want decks to start mixing with, go get the Gemini XL500II. get 2 of those and a descent mixer. Once you think your rdy, move onto technics.

Well- I dont want crap ones- I just dont wanna buy tech's yet-
I had some Numarks that were horrible.
are Gemini's above average?
punchline
The Gemini PT series is really good. It's direct drive and is basically a less expensive clone of the Technics 1200MK2. I know some people that have used these decks and they think they are great.

I almost bought these

:P

Is two of the Gemini 500II's for $315 a good price?
DJErnieP
well they are about 160 a piece for brand new ones. I would suggest just goin to the shop and getting new ones, and not off ebay. I started out on 2 used geminis XL500II. They are perfect for beginers. Plus once your rdy to move on, its not like you threw a load of money away.

I have two great condition XL-500 IIs to sell. PM me if you're interested.

The Gemini XL-500ii series are okay. I ate these babies before I had my Techs. They're okay for mixing but they don't have a lot of torque.



The Stanton ST-100 is also a decent table. They cost more than the Gemini XLs. I'd go with these. You don't hear about 'em much.

Well- I had some crap numark 1910's before- Definite torq problems with those.
You know if they would be better or worse than those?

Go with Stanton. They used to be a part of Vestax.

Go for the Numark TT200's or the (supposedly coming out soon) TT500's, I have the 200s and love em. hit me back if you got any questions . . .

these tables are going pretty cheap (brand new) on ebay, and I would definitely buy them over the XL500s. I actually have a friend with the XLs and i thought the build quality looked horrible.

I don't think he wants anything to do with NUMARK anymore. That's why I didn't post any Numark tables up.
