not enuf info man with the biggest thang, what is your budget.

also do you want new or old.

as a basic you want direct drive. people also say turntablists prefer more torque, but considering the 1200's have less torque than most of the turntables, and they were fine for the DMC championships so i think they must have plenty enuff torque.

now 1200's as per jonny said are the industry standard which means they are what are used by clubs and by anyone who can afford them

the basic mark II has less features than the other tt's out there, but then you need to ask yerself whether you need those additional features.

so aside from the 1200's probably the next in line are the super OEM series. i.e. stanton ST/STR150's; Vestax PDX 3000; American Audio HTD; Citronic (?) something.

these all are essentially the same machine with some design features that seperate them. in essence they ahve more torque and higher pitch range than the 1200's. but they are not built as robust and will not likely last as long or retain the sale value of the 1200's.
