Turntable for MPC X

Id like to know exactly what a turntable would have to have to be compatible with my MPCX. Im only looking to spend $100. Are there any recommended turntables for sampling? Will they all provide the same quality when the sample is loaded into the MPCx. Thanks

You'll want it to have phono and ground, or line level outputs. Either will work fine.

ok thanks brother

Numark PT01 USB. I have one. Don’t really use it, but I have it. It’s a pretty cool turntable. Portable too.

Make sure you can change the cardrige, that's half the sound of a turntable.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60's can be found for $99-$129 and are excellent turntables with built-in switchable phono pre-amplifier with RCA output (so either line out or phono). I've seen them used for less than $89 USD on Reverb.

Will they provide the same quality? No. An entry level turntable for $100 does NOT sound as good as a $1000 USD Technics SL-1200 (and that's without a cartridge). The question is: will you really notice?

Geez, are 1200s that expensive now? I bought two about 10 years ago for 650 euro (800 usd?)..

Anyway, i also had a numark PT01. They are nice, small and handy, but the built quality isn't all that. Mine broke after a few years. One of a friend of mine also is cracked.. The longetivy isn't that long.. especially compared to my sl 1200s which are steady as a rock.

Looks like the SL-1200MK7's currently are:

And that's without a cartridge. You can find semi-decent cartridges for around $99 USD, though.
