I dunno how a 'burger' style turntable could be 'decent'.. but I'm sure it's cool for someone on the 'go'
I prefer the Numark portable or Vestax handytraks for my 'on the go' record playing etc.. (Line out + headphone out + built in speaker and pitch control + newer ones have USB) I was going to take one to the markets back in my day of vinyl trawling, but sellers eyes generally start making dollar signs when you get out a portable record player.. lol.
Still, having a smaller turntable ready for some quick and dirty sampling is a great thing to have. When you are sampling into a S950 or Prophet2002, the filthier the sample to begin with, is generally the better from my experience.. hell, my best samples were from a 70's portable briefcase style turntable.
