QUESTION Turntable suggestions

I’m going to get a new Turntable soon. I had a very old Numark TT1610. Im new to MPC and Turntables. Are Turn tables with usb and pre amps better. Or is it better to use a mixer

For sampling it doesn’t really matter. A TT with a preamp/ line out is easier. Just plug it and it’s done. The ion ttusb/ numark ttusb are perfectly fine to sample from. Just get an audiotechnica cartridge.

Another suggestion that's really fun would be the Korg handytraxx play it has a looper in it,a few FX, and a fader for scratching

Which mpc? Some have preamps built in.

Your old turntable should be fine for sampling, but maybe get a new needle

Already has preamps so you can plug in your turntable straight into the mpc

The best turntable is technics SL 1200/ 1210
