i can't help you choose a turntable but if you want my advice i'd say invest in some punctuation.

You can't go wrong with a Technics SL-1200 or 1210 if your budget will stretch that far, and if it's DJ'ing and sturdiness you want. $500 or so.

If you're looking for more audiophile qualities (and definitely not a DJ'able table), then look at the new Rega P1, which comes with its own cartridge, at $350.

Best sound, but most effort to deal with, would be secondhand classic Thorens off eBay... the TD-145, 150, 166 are your best. $200 or so, but might need some TLC.

REMEMBER... you'll still have to get a cartridge and install it correctly if you go for the Technics or the Thorens... and whatever you get, you'll need a phono preamp. Most modern receivers/integrated amps cannot handle the input from a phono cartridge, which needs to be de-equalized and extra-amplified.

good advice, i love my thorens. i've got a couple of b&o turntables but it's a bitch to find pickups for them.
