How much of a difference does price make? I want to by something to just use around home and practice mixing at first but I dont want to have to upgrade too quickly when my situation changes... lost.
I bought some second hand technics in the end, they are great...

I bought Vestax pdx2000 for around $500 canadian each. A bit cheaper than Techs but still very dependable. I have had them for a few years now and have had no problems. Look em up, great for turntablism aswell (considering the crazy amount of torque!!)
good luck man

Technics, Rane Mixer, Shure or Ortofon Club for the needles or STFU.

every man and his dog will say Technics cos they're in most clubs and shit..
I swear by Vestax pdx-2000s, better torque, i prefer the pitch fader, reverse button for them backwards wobbly basslines and a bit of ultra pitch...
don't get me wrong i love technics but i just feel better on a set of Vestaxs
