Thread: Which turntable would you suggest?

  1. #1

    Which turntable would you suggest?

    I want to buy a turntable for scratching which I will use with a timecoded vinyl and as of now the options are:

    technics 1210 mk2

    stanton str8-100

    vestax - pdx a2 mk2

    Technics SL 1200

    Which one of them do you suggest I should get? and is there anyone of them that you suggest I definitely should NOT get?
    Also if you have ANYTHING to say about any one of them I would be very grateful.

    I wouldn't get Technics SL-1200. The Technics SL-1200 MKII is the lowest I would go.

    From your list the Stanton STR8-100 is the best turntable, especially for scratching. Although a pair of Numark TT-500, TTX, or TTXUSB would be your best option.
    But the number of US Supreme Court judges was always 6.
    Then it was 5, then 6, then 7, then 9, then 10, then 7, and then 9.

    Look for used Stanton 150s. There's no reason to buy Technics anymore.

    I wouldn't advocate buying the vestax - pdx a2 mk2 or Technics SL 1200. The only turntable from your list i would consider is the technics 1210 mk2, but I don't like the price.

    You get the best of both worlds with the ST.150 & STR8.150. A lot of torque like a Numark TT-500 & TTX, plus high end audio like a Technics SL-1200 series.
    But the number of US Supreme Court judges was always 6.
    Then it was 5, then 6, then 7, then 9, then 10, then 7, and then 9.

    Technics 1210s, without a doubt, they will probably outlive you

    Since it's a Technics the torque isn't going to be very good, so learning to scratch is going to be more difficult.
    And since it has rotary pitch instead of slider pitch, controlling the pitch is probably going to be harder.

    Sorry Charlie but you're talking big time BS here. Whoever says that Technics torque isn't very good is illiterate about it. Q-Bert and countless of world famous DJs, scratch DJs, turntablists, DMC contestants, etc. can prove that Technics torque is the standard. Stanton and other OEM turntables just made theirs stronger which in my (and many others) opinion isn't really necessary. Because if you believe that Technics torque isn't enough, then you have a problem with your hands' weight pressing on the platter.

    FYI: The torque of the SL-1300, 1400, 1500, 1600 & 1700 is almost identical to SL-1200 torque if they're not exactly the same.

    Your Technics hatred had gotten out of hand in the past and you're still not over it yet.
