sup guys,
was wondering if the numark TT-200 is any good for scratching. I heard that they have torque which can be compared to the sl-1200 but also heard that if you scratch so much with them, the platter begins to wear down. Right now, i am currently mixing trance tunes via cdj equipment but would also like to buy turntables for the records which i haven't used yet and also so that i can learn some scratching for fun. Yes, i know scratchin doesnt go with trance very well. can get some scratch records from my local store down here. I have been looking at the TT-200 for some time since i am on a budget and heard they were very good for the money. So, if you guys own a TT-200 or used one before..are they any good for scratching with and will they last for at least a year?
Thanks...looking forward to the replies. |

there not really ideal for scratchin, the platter isnt really that sturdy! but that doesnt mean its not possible ;)
probably one of the better tt's in the price range though!
u should save up a bit more and get tech's if you can. |

i wouldnt really compair any Numark table to a 1200 sorry m8....
so i would agree just save your cash, and do some basic scratching right now on your CDJs...
it will all make since once you use the higher grade turntables... |

Thanks for the replies. I do have the money for two technics 1200s mk2 but my mom does not at all want me to deplete my savings account. I worked HARD for that $cash$ and i cant spend it on the things that i want most. Talk about ownage.:( . Well, guess all will come in due time.
Plus...maybe learning to mix with a lower end TT would be better since i would learn how to correct the pitch goin off which would be make mixin on a tech more easier. Know how to mix pretty good with cdj but i know for a fact that it is way different when it comes to vinyl.
HAHA, should buy some crappy ass belt drive TT and scratch with that so that i wont mess up the TT-200s if i do get them. |

have you thought about trading your mum in? :wtf: only jokin mate.
i think they definately would last for a year, but dont be under the illusion that they will do the job as as good as tech's! theres a reason that the tech's cost about double the price, because they work!
but if you really cant stretch your budget then they arent that bad a deck for learning on! |
