I have a really old turntable and I'd like to replace it with a newer, pro quality one. I figured the best deals are online (as they almost always are), but don't know where to start and I'm sure if I just Google "DJ equipment" I'll get about a million results. I figured there are probably some people here that could make suggestions because I know some of you are into hip-hoppy street stuff, unlike myself who wants this to play old rock n' roll and mid 90's hardcore records. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
You can find really good stuff on ebay honestly, or maybe a local pawn shop or second hand music shop. There is no need to buy any high end expensive turntable. All you need is a Technic 1200 Mk II ( mark 2) and a good headshell, cartridge and stylus. A Mk II is a workhorse and will last you forever if you take care of it. I bought mine second hand 8 years ago, and after heavy club use they still play like new and sound great. I have NEVER have a single problem mechanically with them. Also the receiver on which you filter the turntable through will also help clean up the sound a bit.
