And there are great options from Super-OEMS to entry level, and Numark wants to bring something "in the middle-ground".

The TT250USB is a professional direct-drive turntable perfectly suited for the DJ on a budget. Although it is aimed at the budget DJ, its doesn't try to be just a budget turntable, and that is what you will see in this performance. A good amount of scratches and it doesn't show any signs of skipping or anything that would make you go "oh no". It has a S-shaped tonearm with anti-skating control, and the TT250USB converts analog records to digital files via the USB connection to the computer.

The TT250USB will ship with an MSRP of $299.99 and we may even get a set in the lab for the full out video review treatment, so stay Tuned!

Lately, I have been receiving many emails from DJ's who want to purchase a set of analog turntables for many different reasons. Some DJ's want to simply play vinyl for its sound qualities. Others want the ultimate analog turntablist feel. Many DJ's also want to use a pair of analog decks as media controllers for their digital software interface such as Traktor, SSL, Virtual DJ, etc... So, in order to help the DJ's who are ready to spend their hard earned cash on a pair of decks; I put together my top-ten list of Professional-Grade Analog Turntables which are currently available to the public...

The new Pioneer PLX-1000 analog turntables are on hand at the Atlantic City DJ Expo and we have Pioneer DJ's own DJ Flip to give us an exclusive walkthrough to let us know what they are all about.

As turntables and vinyl seem to be hitting a new strides with newfound success in the DJ and consumer markets; the manufacturers who create these turntables are giving users options for all budgets and performance levels. Reloop has introduced a new video to accompany their new Direct Drive Entry level turntables with USB connectivity (for transferring a vinyl music library to the computer) called the RP-2000USB. These aren't the powerhouse Super-OEM RP-6000/7000/8000, but they cost less than half of those models and they can still get the DJ-job done at a lower cost.

The Numark NS6 has been out on the market for almost two years now, but its still one of my favorite controllers to use with Serato. During our HD-Video review, we loved the build quality, tight jog wheels, and excellent fader feel along with the plethora of input and output options that are available to the users. The NS6 now gets a free software upgrade from Serato Itch to the new and improved Serato DJ and DJ CXL is in the Numark Studio to give a quick demo video of the new look and features. Check out the performance video and my (throwback) NS6 review after the jump.
