What turntable to buy?

Hey guys,

I'm kinda new to DJing, more sort of hobby but i listen to music all the time.

Recently I have upgraded my logitech z533 speaks to Pioneer Dj VM-50. I love them though I'm missing a bit that deep powerful base...

Anyways, I have collection of hip hop/rap vinyls that I've always bought but never listened and thought its a time to finally buy a turntable. I'm based in UK.

I would say my primary use would be just for listening but if I can learn how to scratch on it would be nice to have. I have Hercules dj4set console that I plan to upgrade, just not sure yet if for another console or mixer.

I would say I want to spend up to £300 but if there is something much better for a little bit more I would mind paying more.

  1. AT-LP120XUSB New £245 Used £150

  2. AT-LP140XP New £379 used £300

  3. Pioneer DJ PLX-500 New £330 Used £250

  4. Technics SL-1210 MK2 Used £550

Im kinda leaning more into the cheapest option now and maybe upgrading to professional grade later on. What are your opinions?

For now I loo

Bottom 360 laser

Hey all,

​

So I've got a 3x360 Dewalt 18v Green laser and it's been very useful! Recently I've been growing more frustrated with it tho. If its not dark its hard to see the line, or close to laser the line is thicker and stronger and 1-2m away its much thinner and barely visible. I can still work with that tho I prefer if it would be better.

​

The main problem I have, if I want to check level around the floor or something low I have to set laser and then check individually with measure tape. Anyone got any tips for this?

​

I've seen Huepar laser that has another laser 360 on the bottom of it and if I think it would be very useful especially when doing self levelling screeds.

Anyone got experience with it or maybe is there better brand, preferably dewalt cos of battery system, that has this feature?
