Technics SL-1200 Mk 5

This is the only deck I would even suggest buying used. No other deck has the reputation of reliability as the Technics SL1200. This is built to last, and is respected by every DJ from Jazzy Jeff to the kid in his basement hoping to be Jazzy Jeff. There's nothing better than knowing the same deck you practice on is the same deck you'll be using in the clubs or in the DMC's.

If this is not an option to you take a close look at the Stanton T120 or STR8 150's or the Vestax PDX2000 MKII. BUT STAY AWAY FROM NUMARK!!! Too many problems, I've owend Numarks and they don't compare.
