technics 1200/1210 do it better!!
it 's dependent on your budget of money...
you can test also numark and stanton' turntables.

I think that is too expensive... What about Numark TT1600MK2? I know they are belt-driven but is it totaly imposible to scratch?

If you want a Numark product I suggest you go with the tt500. Great entry price, massive torque and quite a robust setup. I use them since 2 years now and havent got any problems with them.

Yea, i agree, my friend had tt500-s, but the price is 3 times higher than tt1600... :(

depends on the price range you have to deal with.

i agree i think the tt500 is a smart choice.

These turntables i suggest
1) Numark TT-500
2) Reloop RP-5000
3) Technics SL-12xx (where xx=00,10)
4) Stanton T-120 or T-80
Whatever you buy,get "S-shaped" tonearm with the turntable...it's far way better
And for cartrdges & needles check out brands like Ortofon,Shure,Stanton.
You will find something that will suit to your needs...

That's all !!!

What do U think about Numark TT1650?
 

Posted Thu 14 Sep 06 @ 2:12 pm
Honestly?

I think newmark became "serious" dj equipement provider when they released the tt500 and all the other products that came after that. My friend got some 1650, of course, they "do the job" but youll soon realise that it lacks in options and torque... it wow and flutter quite a lot as well. I think the best tip I can give you is: Go for what you want, not what you can afford.
