Hi turntablists,

I'm a beginner who soon will be buy his gears. I have been checking all brands for several months.
I would like to buy the best turntables. I don't have budget's limits nevertheless, i don't want to buy expensive ones and end up paying just a brand name.

I want to learn scratching and mixing (about to buy a mixer too).
I want to learn old school mixing technics (without computer) and latter, end up with DVS setup.

I was thinking about buying some pioneer PLX 1000 ? Do you guys think it's a good idea ?
Could those TECHNICS SL-1210 MK7 be an option ?

What would be the best needle for scratching ?

If you have better idea, i'm interested in knowing them.

Warmest regards,

L.
