A good pro TT
Gene Flynn:
Any suggestions for a good pro TT?? It will only be used for playback so no need for anything fancy..
Thanks

What is a TT? I would have thought "Turntable", but you qualified it by saying "It will only be used for playback so need for anything fancy". That implies the ability to do something other than playback, so probably not a turntable.

Yes Turntable. I assume that pro DJ TT have other options then just normal playback?? Maybe not?? But im looking for that pro style like DJs use. I dont want to pay ridiculous money for an audiophile type TT.. Hope I clarified?
Thanks

DJ turntables are completely manual, not exactly what I would use for playback.
That said the Technics 1200 is the gold standard. With the right cartridge it would be a good home unit.

Honestly for use in my house I'd try to find a nice old vintage marantz.
good luck.

Technics 1200. If you want to go with the industry standard for, like, forever. This will give you full turntable functionality, plus if you ever need to have a DJ use it, they'll be satisfied with it.
(Like Nick said as well. Used they can be found for $300 or so or less.)
