I would use the 1200, and build a suspension system for it. feedback is definitely a problem with bass and decks.

Thanks for all the advice.  Much appreciated..

For DJ use, a 1200.  You can get one on eBay for $500.

For home use, a Linn Basik, Rega Planar 2, or Rega Planer 3 (all used, of course).

Linn looks pretty nice, and a huge wooden plinth..  Kinda like the old Duals..  I have a VPI scout for my home system..  Im looking at either the Linn Basik or an old Dual..  Trying to stay below 500..
The hunt is on....   
Thanks

Linn for sure.

Seeing as how I use 1200s I'd say only get them if you're using it to DJ which you're not. It is a good deck overall and reducing vibration is real easy. You can set them on rubber pads which will help absorb a lot off that bass. A quality needle goes a long way too

Sooooo. Did you get a TT? If not I'd +100 on the 1200 mkII. The 1200 was originally built as the second from the TOTL for home use, a technicality many "audiophiles" seem to miss. The wow and flutter specs are far below most other decks specs are, they're built like a tank and because of an upsurgance of use for home systems are infinitely upgradable. I recently bought mine used for $175 with an audio technica cart. The most common problem with them is the capacitors which are easily replaced.

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

+1 on the technics 1200 you can't beat a classic. Although looking around that Pioneer alternative does look rather tempting

Yep, that Pioneer PLX1000 looks like a hit.  No gimmicky LEDs, buttons or glitzy futuristic design:  http://pioneerdj.com/english/products/turntable/plx-1000.html
