Practical differences
Highlighted cells show a lower reference price, support for more listed speeds, or the presence of a convenience feature. They are not an overall score.
On price alone the Numark PT01 Scratch costs less, coming in $158 (about 122%) below the Reloop RP-1000 MK2.
Both are belt-drive, so that part of the experience should feel similar on either deck: a motor that's mechanically isolated from the platter by an elastic belt, which is the usual route to a quieter noise floor — the default choice across most of hi-fi.
The Numark PT01 Scratch has a built-in phono stage. Skip the phono stage and you'll need one built into your amp, or a separate box, to play through normal speakers.
Bottom line: $158 separates these reference prices. That difference is factual; this specification comparison does not assign an overall winner.
