Help me pick turntables

[mongermaniac]

So Im a controller dj who has gained alot of skill and mixing on a controller is just easy, lame and just not too much fun anymore. (I also look like a lame dj with a controller) so I am gonna get a kontrol z2 and some turntables. (used z2's go for $350 cad on craigslist in my area) I am wondering what turntables will be my best bet. I dont want to spend $500 on each and get technics 1200's, I'd rather get some cheaper ones and then possibly upgrade in the future. So, In your opinion, what turntables should I get? I dont really want to spend more than $500 on a pair. Is $500 way too cheap for a pair? Lemme know! Thanks for the help!

audio technica at-lp120 good cheap and everything u want. Have had them for a while no issues at al they do the job. I think a pair wil set you back max 500 dollar..
