Hi everyone! again...
So in the past month I have been asking several questions like, if my denon MC6000 can be able of using timecodes, what soundcard to get and what Timecode should I use for Virtual DJ.
It on relies on this very last question and maybe the escence of the questions I posted before.
What Turntables should I get?
I don't have a really high budget, so I was thinking of getting a pair of lets say Stanton T.62 or Numarks TT200 because of how low the price is and they are direct-drive.
I really would like to know what do you think, which one would you choose and of course is there any other turntable I left out?
I hope you can help me in this last part
Thank you very much!

I wouldn't use those if they were given to me LOL
you will find with the cheaper models they have very little torque, so are not good at maintaining speed when adjusting the record and are horrible for scratching... Ideally you want technics 1200, 1210 etc.. they are the standard, but now that technics have ceased producing them the prices are back to around $1000 a set secondhand
but I use American Audio HD 4.5 they are really good turntables... 4.5kg of torque so really good for scratching and cueing up tracks, they are an OEM of the Stanton 150's just a different shell, I got em off ebay for $400 AUS which was a good find but that was two years ago, the other version of the decks is sold through citronic but not sure what they are called...
other tables in the same high torque catagorie are Numark TT500, Numark TTX, Stanton 120, Vestax PDX2000 (i think that is the name)
I use a Native Instruments Audio 8 for a soundcard, before that the Numark Virtual Vinyl and Torq connective... The audio 8 was a massive improvement in clarity of sound and output volume, but the best response went to the Numark box as it doesn't use ASIO it is a different type that has lower latency, but you can't use any other card with it which is a drawback

I mean of course I would love to get a pair of technis 1200, they are my dream! The only thing is the money, I really don't have 1000 to spend on vinyl turntables, if it would be like that I wouldn't even be talking about the TT200 or the Stanton T.62 and I just bought a Denon MC6000 so i'm kinda empty LOL.
About the ones you told me I searched them up and they are kinda high for what i have...lets say I only have like 450 for a PAIR of vinyl turntables, so not really a lot.
What I most want this turntables it's because i really like spinning with vinyl and i love the timecode function! I don't really pretend to scratch and if I do it will be very little. What I most want is of course cue and use them to mix.
I'm a Electro House DJ and the pair of turntables would be an extension for my Denon MC6000 and i'm going to use 2 Turntables for 2 decks and the other 2 decks for my midi controller.
I really like how the T.62 looks but I read it has a low torque and that the TT200 has a higher torque.
So between those what do you recommend and why?

I practice on a set of TT-200's, there good but they just DONT feel like my Techs. The Numarks will get you on your way but after you start getting better you'll be cussing them tables and wish you would have just spent the money on some better tables.
Just my 2 cents

This will be used at my bedroom and will not be moved from there and don't really want to spend nothing really high in my first vinyl turntables. What do you mean with cussing?
And thank you very much!

After you get good you'll wanna start scratching, weather its for fun or for real, but you'll try it. And there will be times you need the torque of a Tech. That's when you'll start calling your tables names, lol!

LOL! I know that could happen and probably is...but i just don't have enough budget for that. I really don't know because I read in other forums that the stanton T.62 is not really that bad. So I really don't know

you don't need to copy the whole post again, you can just use the blue speech bubble up the top right of the post to quote text... Like I said eBay is your friend for finding cheap dj gear, but you have to have patience to find a bargin

If you do get the Numarks make sure you get some Butter Rugs, they'll help when it comes to scratchin. I too used to use the Virtual Vinyl box and it is a badass sound card but like Syn said you can't use it with any other card. And like him I also went with the Audio 8. Love it, wouldn't trade it for the world!! I agree EBay is your friend when it Comes to gear.
Good Luck

So I can't use the Audio 6 for the numark TT-200 :/
That kinda sucks because I wanted to get the Audio 6 so it would also work for me in Traktor Scratch Pro
EDIT: I just googled TT-200 + Audio 4 and a lot of images appear and forums saying they hooked up the TT-200 with and audio 4 or any other equivalent and it worked. So it really doesn't work with any other soundcard?

Theyll work with any soundcard as long as it has ASIO drivers and a spot for both turntables to hookup to.
