Ok so I like the idea of scratching but i also like the idea of just listening to records. So here i have some craiglist finds around my area and I am wondering what u think of any of them.

That is uh quite the variety of equipment you have there.

What is your main objective? If you want to scratch I would suggest buying a pair of dj turntables. If you just want to listen go with the Mac stuff without question.

Well i don't have the money to spend on the Mc stuff, except they had a TT lised for like 150 on the add that maybe i could bargain for.

I would like to be able to scratch, but i guess just listen to records right now on my home stereo and be able to get loud. Right now i have as sony amp that doesn't have a phono in, so i dont know if that won't work for TT's. (i read somewhere it wouldn't) I would like to have an old school power amp, to power my marantz speakers 7000 series.

Since your receiver does not have a phono in you will need either a pre-amp or a record player with built in phono. Like this

And scratching is not for just any old turntable.

Well what about the TT's on CL. Any of those systems have merit?

BTW I was only going to scratch if i can find a really good deal on some TT's

I have no idea to be honest. I dont know much about turntables accept for what I learned from my ex who was a dj.

I am sure they will do the trick, the question being if any of them have a phono out or otherwise you will have to buy additional parts.

Ok so i need a TT with phono out and an amp with phono in. Otherwise I need a preamp

 

[Bimmerdriver 10+ year member]

My amp currently has no phono in

You need the phono preamp built in to the tt because your amp does not have a phono in.

If the amp has a phono in than you will not need additional parts.

Ok so no one knows much about those items listed?
