Could use a recomendation for a DJ table FOR AUDIO

Hi,

I have credit at Guitar Center. I have a ton of records, classical, world and classic rock, but I have no turntable. I could use some help sorting through the DJ tables that also make for a good stereo component. I have read here and elsewhere that the venerated Technics 1200 series is good. They have it, but they also have some of the competition. I have no clue which is best or even good. If you have any input, I would appreciate it. I will not be able to listen first and I have to get one over the next couple of days. Thanks!!!

They also have some of Technics competitors:

and Numark:

I believe of those choices the Technics is the one, especially in light of the above comment re: KAB upgrades available to it.

Not to mention the resale value of the 1200. You can keep it for 5 years and get almost what you paid for it. I use mine to scratch Blue Note first pressings.

Definitely go with the Technics. One of those other tables might be a sleeper with a great sound and design, but the SL-1200 is a definite. You get an incredible amount of value in this turntable because the success of that particular model has allowed Technics to offset the immense cost of R&D that went into it. Economies of scale are on your side!
