    Default What are the best DJ turntables in the market right now?

    My numark ttxusb's are acting real funny, so I'm hoping to sell them. I'm real disappointed in numarks cause I only had them for a year. I'm looking for some good durable turntables. I'm torn between the technics m5g, stanton st 150, and the vestax pdx3000. Can someone tell me the pros and cons of each product. Or maybe someone could recommend another turntable I haven't mentioned. I'm leaning towards getting technics because you know technics are part of dj history and my dicers can fit them perfectly, but that means I have to save up a lot longer to afford them. That's why I would like to know what's the best dj turntable in the market right now, stantons, vestax, or technics?

    Go for Technics - they don't need to be brand new, or mk5g - mk5, mk3d, and mk2 are all fine.

    If it ain't a 1200, it ain't worthy.

    All jokes aside, you could check out the Stanton STR8-150's.

    +1 I use a Pair of Reloop 6000 and these are very good Turntables.

    I always wanted to buy technics 1210, but new these are tooo expensive and every used/Second-Hand Technics 1210 i check has some problems or defects and so on. So i buy a new pair of Reloop 6000 and they are really good.

    Ive always loved stantons. They are a great super oem that can handle abuse if you need to take them to gigs.

    I used to have the Stantons and I loved them. Unfortunately they got stolen. The only difference I really noticed between Techs is that cosmetically the Stantons would easily get scratches on the top surface, and I like the buttons on the Technics better. Performance wise they were pretty identical except for faster torque on the Stantons. Stantons are heavier as well. Heavy as hell actually.

    You cant build muscle just letting the weights sit on the floor.

    I've debated getting the vestax or the Stanton's both seem to be great ttables... I've still stuck with my 1200s though Bc i know how to fix them. When I had the Pdx2000s they were ok but felt breakable to me, I owned a ttx 500 and NEVER had issues
