Hi

I'm going to buy a Technics 1200, but since I'm on a low budget I can't afford two of them... What mixer would you guys buy if you were in my shoes? I'm going to use the turntable for sampling mostly...

Thanks :wink:

If you just want to sample off your turntable all you need is a unit with phono input.
If you're going really low budget you could just goto a thrift store or garage sale and get a regular stereo reciever with a phono input(make sure it has an output of some kind other than speaker wire).
If you get a cheap dj mixer you're probably going to have to replace it in a few years. Pawn shops and ebay are good places to look, but I've got a mixer off ebay and the fader started bleeding after a few weeks of use.
