"HONEST review from a DJ who has used a few different products."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
The industry standard is the Technics MKII SL1200. I wanted to get a good pair of decks for not alot of money and I got what I paid for. I'm not disappointed with the Numark TT200. The motor gives up after a few minutes of moderate scratch exercises. These are probably ment for the intermediate/bedroom, so if thats you, you'll probably get alot use out of them.
Sound
The sound is fine, dont worry about that. I didnt use the Factory Numark headshells it came with though.
Features
The reverse feature is interesting, but i doubt anyone will really get ALOT of use from it. Same goes for the 2 Start/Stop buttons, nice idea, but not really that needed. Deck has a input for strobe...NOT INCLUDED. No dust cover means the rubberized sections of the deck will develope dust like mad. Power plugs & cords all input underneath the deck, which does save on clutter a bit.
Quality
Built pretty solid, Numark knows people arent looking for a PLASTIC turntable, so they disguise the plastic well. Everyone will tell you "Comes with straight or curved tone Arm" this is not true, factory standard is the straight arm out of the box. Rubber section of the deck collects dust like crazy, and makes you want to smack a Numark developer for not including a dust cover (available on older cheaper decks)
Value
Great Turntable for the DJ who wants to mix records at home, scratching records is a different story. The price is right for them, and they are pretty solid for mixing, pitch is pretty strong. Just dont expect to scratch like the big guys for very long.
Manufacturer Support
I've never had to speak with Numark Support. If I did, I'd ask them what i should do to protect my investment since there is no dust covers. LOL
The Wow Factor
The Curved rounded lines on the turntable look great. Rounded start/stop buttons are pretty cool. Im just not sure what the practicle application of the rubberized/metalized plastic was. :::shrug:::

"good value, bad to record on though"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i like them. i just can never record on them.
Sound
feed back no matter how far away the speakers are.
Features
the tourque is good, and the reverse is nice.
Quality
its reliable, except for scratching. one of my tables motors wont pick up the platter as easily when you scratch for more than 3 minutes. i have been working on my scratching and had to quit everytime right when i start to get into it or get something new down that i want to practice.
Value
its worth it for the money. my brother has no problem mixing on them, but i have a HARD time.
Manufacturer Support
never had to use
The Wow Factor
the look of this along with the specs is why i bought it. the only problem is that there are no dust covers! other than that these decks are the hottest looking decks out there (along with the ttx1, and tt-500's)

"Solid piece with no real gripes. Good Value."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Features
The slipmats that Numark gives you are decent, but definitely look into getting better ones. This is the one feature I'd wish came upgraded.
The Wow Factor
It's slightly bulky, but looks good nonetheless. Go for the MKII's if you're looking for sex appeal.

"dont rate em!"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
iv had mine for 4 months and im selling em.
Sound
its sounds fine but the needle picks up a lot of feedback due to vibrations, making your speakers rumble. i have the speakers well away from the decks bit it dosent work!
Features
the bells and whistles can be usefull.
Quality
excellent build and components. very solid.
Value
worth it if all you wanna do is scratch. id rather get second hand Technics.
Manufacturer Support
no dealings with Numark but heard they are good.
The Wow Factor

"Go with Stanton, Technics or Vestax PERIOD!"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Got rid of em after 3 months due to the motor failing.....now I have 2 SL1200 MK5's and they ROCK!!!
Sound
Not bad...get some Shure M44-7's and you'll be fine
Features
Reverse....for what I don't know. 78RPM and again not sure why.....straight tone arm great for scratching and beat juggling.Height adjustments.Only comes with straight tone arm....thoug it boast you can swap out straight for S-shape but only comes with the straight...would have been nice to have the choice, no dust cover and no target light??? What the heck.
Ease of Use
plug it in and go
Quality
Poor...it's plastic covered in a disguise....a thin layer of rubber.....mine crapped out after only 3 months of use.These are NOT designed for heavy scratching and beat juggling...It pissed me off
Value
ok I guess...but would suggest saving up for SL1200's or Stanton ST8150' or the Vestax PDX...but don't But DO NOT GO with Numark
Manufacturer Support
horrible...they are very difficult to get a hold of and if you do they really don't have an answer other than "sorry"
The Wow Factor
it's a futuristic design.

Numark TT200 Turntable Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Great deal
Sound
Very nice table...totally adjustable everything...clean reverse, easy cartridge replacement, sound is fantastic.
Features
Why not spend the extra $69 to get a $420 table?
Quality
Again...very durable.
Value
This is such a deal considering that I used to spend $200 on turntables that didn't even come CLOSE to the features of the Numark..and those were 1980's dollars
Manufacturer Support
haven't needed support...dude...you just plug it in.
The Wow Factor
I like to mix but am actually a studio guitarist NOT a DJ. Did I mention that I am NOT a DJ? So...even though I use this as a production tool, 90+% of the use this sees is for listening to albums.

"Good for begginers on a budget"

Overall: 2.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
If not for the techs, I would take a quality gemini over tt200. Well I would use tt200 for home practice.
Sound
Good sound quality
Features
Some good features such as the interchangable tone arms, depending on your style. Some other features not really needed such as the reverse button, or 75speed. (Unless used for effects)
Quality
I do not recommend this for more than at home practice and fun due to no dust cover and the many added features that are bound to wear out faster than normal.
Value
Yes, Yes worth it's value
The Wow Factor
I like the look but I still prefer my Techs baby!!!!!

"The ideal decks for the beginner"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I plan to keep these decks until they quit working, hopefully years to come. I do expect to get 2 Technics SL 1200MK5g but that is they only decks I would consider replacing these with.
Sound
I dont' notice any difference in sound quality from over a year of playing on Technics.
Features
the interchangeable tone arms are nice. I prefer that my decks not have all the extra bells and whisltes so common to many tables these days.
Quality
seems to be built well, but I know from experience that the top plate is plastic with stamped sheet metal covering it. the bottom plate is plastic with a thin coat of rubber. the tone arm height lock lever is more difficult to get locked than unlocked, and the target light isn't tall enough. On the plus side, the torque is very very close to Technics, and despite what others say the pitch fader is very accurate.
Value
definately worth the money. my opinion this is the best deck for a beginner.
Manufacturer Support
no dealings with the Numark. I've had them for a few months and hope to never have a problem.
The Wow Factor
This table has a unique look to it that is very sleek and sexy in my opinion.
