Here's the gear I'm working with. I run two Numark T200 tables, and a DM 1002 MKII mixer. Great entry-mid level gear. The T200 has fantastic torque (1.7 kg/cm) which is better than the SL 1200 (industry standard table).
You can see a few other photos below of a mix I'm working on of Portishead's "humming" and several different tracks by the Wu Tang Clan. It ends up sounding like a hip hop soundtrack to an abandoned city. I'm going to try to get a cheap recording device to start uploading mixes. For now, just some pictures:

That stuff looks really rad.
I'm familiar with torque as it applies to cars (force overcoming initial friction=towing and launch power), is it the same for turntables?
Very much the same idea. Torque is the ability of the spinning plater to overcome the force you put on it when you scratch with a record. With weak torque, it means the platter will stop. When you are done with a cut, the record will take longer to get back up to speed or "catch up" to the normal 33.3 RPMs.
Again, pretty much the same idea.
