    Anybody got any knowledge of LIMIT DJ-2500SQ turntables?

    I've been offered a pair of LIMIT DJ-2500SQ turntables for very little money. A lot of second hand adverts describe them as 1200 copies - I'm guessing this is just aesthetically and not in terms of performance.

    I wouldn't expect them to perform like 1200's, but was wondering if anybody has any actual experience using them? I can only find one online review on Audiozone and cannot find any company information or technical specs on the internet (all I know is that they are quartz driven/direct drive). They look as if they were manufactured circa 2000.

    My alternative is a pair of Stanton T62 M2's as these fall under my £200 budget, they are more expensive than the Limit turntables but are much more common, have lots of reviews to make a judgement on etc.

    Any advice appreciated

    Cheers

    For reference this is what they look like:

    Looks like any other knockoffs, the reviews confirm what I thought: no torque and will feed back at higher volume. The stantons will perform better.

    Yep, bargain basement DJ turntables.
    Almost anything would be better.
    But at least they are direct drive.
    bored, curious, deaf or just bad taste in music?
    finally a mix by me
    and what's this, another shoddy mix...another dull mix

    I've tested and serviced these decks before and they are very horrible decks. The motor which is supposed to be direct drive has a very low torque. The tonearm is so cheaply made that they don't even have bearings. Only bushing which needs lubrication every now and then but cleaning as well because of the dust that accumulates. Platter is so light. Pitch control is not replaceable. The entire frame is plastic. Stay away from this crap. Go for the Stanton instead.
