Decks get trashed, too.
Used to have a pair of 1200s "inhereted" from a bar I used to run, along with a reasonably powerful (if a little crude ) setup. In the course of several years of parties I lost count of the number of needles that needed replacing because of wankers trying to "scratch" or whatever the youth of today call it.

Plus the epic night someone poured half a bottle of vodka into a power amp at full chat to "cool it down"

and fed about a pound of sausages to the bass bins.

Drugs, kids. they're bad, m'kay?

Erm! I may have done this once at a party. The scratching that is.
The DJ wasn't happy : /

It works fine if you have the right needles
and you know what you are doing. This doesn't usually apply to drunken/drugged houseparties.
