The turntable on my stereo (think 70s, brushed aluminium) has finally packed in, and I'm looking at getting myself a new turntable, with a view to getting another one and a mixer at a later date. However, I have a few questions for the collective brain: Accepting that you get what you pay for, is there a degree of skill needed before the difference becomes apparant? I mean, do £800 decks only become truly necessary when you want to scratch, or are they simply better across the board? How much of an advantage is direct drive? Given my nonexistant resources, what can you compromise on to save money? Finally, I suppose, does anyone have any recommendations? I'm sorry if this isn't strictly on topic, but I know that a lot of people on list DJ, and I really need some advice.
