You\u2019ll most likely need a preamp, as well, which converts the output signal of the turntable into a signal that the speakers or sound system require.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 27px;\">Some systems have a built-in preamp, which make them easier to use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver Motor.<\/strong>\u00a0In order to enjoy the music output of a vinyl record, it\u2019s best to use a belt drive motor. Skip down a few paragraphs to see what this is<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>For DJs<\/h2>\n<p>If you plan to DJ with your turntable, here are some things to remember:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver Motor.<\/strong>\u00a0There are two types: direct-drive and belt drive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 27px;\">Direct drive motors are located under the center of the platter and help maintain a higher torque, lower wow and lower flutter. As a DJ, these are essential to your success and sound quality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 27px;\">Belt drive motors have an off-center motor that is connected to the platter via a belt. These are not helpful when DJ-ing because they just can\u2019t maintain a constant rotation speed of the platter yet they do help prevent vibrations and offer better sound quality for vinyl records.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Torque.<\/strong>\u00a0The higher the torque the better when you\u2019re DJ-ing. This will help the platter accelerate faster and it will not slow down as much when you press the record down onto the slipmat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pitch Control Slider.<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure it slides up and down smoothly so you can avoid any jumpy movements as you quickly move your hands around the table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3 Best Turntable Under $1000 Reviews<\/h2>\n<h2><a class=\"easyazon-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-easyazon-asin=\"B00H2DLQK6\" data-easyazon-locale=\"US\" data-easyazon-localize=\"data-easyazon-localize\" href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\/dp\/B00H2DLQK6\/?tag=guitarratin04-20\">1.
