Whether you’re a battle DJ looking to scratch your way through a set or an audiophile who just wants to drop the needle and hear every detail of your favorite record, AMS has the DJ turntables you want for the best prices around.

No matter your style, you'll find the gear to keep your wax spinning smoothly right here.
Finding Your Style of Turntable
Not all DJ turntables are designed for the same kind of action, so picking the right configuration depends on how you plan to spin. Some players want heavy torque for club work, while others just want smooth, reliable playback at home. Here’s the breakdown:
- Direct-Drive Turntables: The pro’s choice. High-torque motors that start and stop instantly, perfect for scratching, beat juggling, and live DJ sets.
- Belt-Drive Turntables: Motor sits off to the side with a belt, giving you quiet operation and smooth sound, ideal for casual listening.
- Digital Turntables: USB and software-ready, letting you mix vinyl feel with digital flexibility.
- Hybrid Options: A mix of analog playback with digital controls, giving DJs the best of both worlds.
Figure out how you’ll use your rig, and the right DJ turntable practically picks itself.
How to Get the Most Out of Your DJ Turntables and Setup
A killer turntable is just the start; the real magic happens when you fine-tune the details. From choosing the right mixer to upgrading your stylus and running clean sound to your PA, every tweak shapes how your set feels on stage (or in your living room). This is where good gear becomes great performance.
Pair It with the Right Mixer
Your turntables are just half the equation. A DJ mixer is your sound command center: it’s where you crossfade, EQ, and cue up tracks to keep the crowd jumping. If you’re running vinyl, make sure your mixer has phono inputs. If you’re dabbling in Serato or Rekordbox, look for built-in USB or DVS support so you’re not juggling extra gear.
Cartridges and Styluses: Tiny Parts, Huge Impact
Don’t sleep on the needle. Your cartridge and stylus decide how your records sound and how well they hold up under scratching. DJs usually go for rugged spherical tips that won’t skip mid-cut, while audiophiles might chase elliptical tips for more detail.
Either way, swapping cartridges is the cheapest way to make your setup feel brand new. And yes, you don’t have to replace both; you can swap just the stylus if your cartridge allows it.
Dialing in the Tonearm
If your turntable came in a box, call this step “mandatory gear therapy.” Balance your tonearm like you’d tune a guitar. Too light, and the needle skates across the groove. Too heavy, and you’ll wear your vinyl flat. Set your tracking force and anti-skate properly, and your records will thank you with years of clean playback.
Hooking into Your Sound System
The right speakers don’t just play your set; they move the room with it. From the decks to the mixer to the speakers, the name of the game is signal flow. Run your RCAs clean, ground your tables to eliminate hum, and pair your rig with a PA speaker that can handle the low end your kick drums are throwing out.
Got a laptop or digital source in the mix? Make sure your mixer has USB or other connectivity, or go for a mixer with a built-in interface.

Frequently Asked Questions About DJ Turntables
Got questions about DJ turntables? You’re not the only one. Here are some quick answers to help you spin with confidence and keep your setup running strong.
What’s the difference between a DJ turntable and a regular record player?
A DJ turntable is built for performance with stronger motors, pitch controls, and rugged parts for scratching and mixing. A standard record player is geared toward casual listening with no real-time manipulation in mind.
Do I need two turntables to DJ?
Not always. Plenty of DJs start with one deck and a controller or laptop setup, then expand later. Two turntables do open the door to classic back-and-forth mixing, which is why it’s still the gold standard.
Are digital turntables worth it for DJs?
Yes! USB or digital turntables make it easy to record sets, rip vinyl to your computer, or integrate with DJ software. They’re especially useful if you’re balancing analog crates with digital libraries.
