my personal preference is Numark, i use a CDN32s at home....for tabletops
it's the pioneer-range....denon is also nice as a third option..
btw, played a while with the new pioneer CDJ1000 at the sonar
festival.....real good scratching emulation, also very big and
hands-on...price is a bit steep though..
