i have a pair of St150's and i actually rate them over the Technics TBH. also the Numark TT's arnt so bad either. if you're scratching most the time, id go with a straight arm deck too mixer wise, get yourself a Rane Battle mixer when you get the moulas. but until then grab a Stanton SA3 (i think.. someone here is talkin about it). i highly rate that mixer as a simple battle mixer. you could go the Technics 2ch battle mixer but i duno what they're like.
