+1 on the headphones, good choice, be sure to add a drop of oil to the swivel so it rotates smoother

The reason you see most of the places selling the stuff for the same price is the MAP (minimum advirtised price) that is set by the manufacture.

they dont deal vestax

...man your getting into DJin, prepare for it to take over your life and destroy your grades.

I got the Lazy disease aswell, so I feel your pain.

I'm also a member on the Denon forums, I have to agree alot do think Denon is the very best, there great, but it depends on how much your willing to spend and what your looking for.

Yea, that's a downside of djmart. They also don't have the stanton phones you want, but they do have the 3000's. Although I'm not sure how much better they are then the 2000's. I do know they have the CDJ-800's though, and I'd defo e-mail DJ Tranz about a discount on those. He hooked me up quite well with my DN-X1500.

Yeah, if he's in grade 12...he's not going to graduate this year.

The Vestax PCV 275 is really nice, I've had it for a while and I'm happy with it. Didn't they stop making it though?

The pssl.com site is giving me headaches. How can they forget a password I just give them? Stupid amnesiac machines.. Plus they change all letters to capital ones which probably won't work for sending back emails.

I think I'll have to buy the pcv275 from pssl and the cd player and headphones from wwbw.

Yes im ready for that,but at the same time this computer i got 2 years ago has never dominated my grades more than anything,so well see. But id rather do something that ive always loved doing but only had the chance on a pc. My first goal,is to bring up my grades then ill virtually,get anything.

And yes about those headphones,ive used them once on my friends decks with his xone 464(woops),love em

Grade 11

Do i get the cables to attach my stuff to the mixers with the pioneers and the turntable

Wow i jsut went to djmart.com,that place is so much more cheaper than pssl.com . Anyways! I tried the package i always wanted,theres 2 cdj-800's the xone:32 and the same headphones but dropping the stanton turntable,ya think its worth it for like 68$ more?And then theres the DJM-500 for 699 after rebate. Xone:32 or DJM-500?

From this:

Pioneer CDJ-800 2x
Vestax 275 mixer 1x
Stanton turntable 1x
the djpro2000 stanton headphones


to this:

Pioneer CDJ-800 2x
Allen & Heath Xone:32
Stanton Headphones DJ-PRO-200

Plus i dont think id need a turntable yet,id rather learn on two than 3 for now. What yall think? Do i get cables to hook this up when i order it???Like cd player to mixer?

You need to contact Dj Tranz to get a better price than what is listed on the web for legal resons as to what websites can advertise.

How,email or phone?

so xone:32 or djm-500

OH MY LORD!!!! My pal wants to sell me a perfect condition Allen & Heath Xone:464 Mixer for 780$ (Normally $1,599 ,because hes buying the V6 for 2 grand less from a mate he knows at a store. w00t . This shall be one great christmas

hmm, question, how come the PCV-150 has 4 chans, and the 275 has 3?

PCV150 > PCV275?

No.

First of all, the blue paint job on those blue pcv's suck.

Secondly, although the mixer has more channels, it has less useable imputs.
It has 3 channels that have a both a line/phono imputs, and the fourth channel only has 2 line imputs. So even if you had 4 turntables, you could only hook 3 up.
So heres its imputs.
5 Line
3 Phono
Total:

The pcv275 actually has 2 lines, and 1 phono on each channel. So in total it has:
6 line
3 phono
Total: 9
Tada! it actually has more imputs.
On both mixers, you are only going to be able to hook up 3 turntables, in 3 channels.

More pcv275 benefits:
The pcv150 does not have effects send/receive. The pcv275 does.

The pcv150 does not have cue leds, or cue vu moniters, or whatever you want to call them. The pcv275 does.

The pcv150 does not have balance for each individual channel, the pcv275 does.

I'm not sure about this, but i think the pcv150 looks like it has 45mm upfaders judging by the picture, while the pcv275 has 60mm up faders. The pcv150 might infact has 60mms though.

The pcv150 benefits:

It has an extra channel (although that channel can only be used for lines)

It has a deeper eq cuts, and shallower eq gains compared to the pcv275

It has crossfader assign.

It has transform buttons.

It has "sub master out adjust"?

The pcv150 is certainly designed more to target club install than the pcv275, but it seems that having an external effects unit is becoming a must have for alot of djs, so it would be pretty iffy.

They are both solid good buys though.

Originally posted by CosmoKid i actually bought zizacks denon from him. i agree that the spinning platter is somewhat useless, but with all the features on this thing, and its acuracy, you should not be buying this for th spinning platter.

hey, how's that working out for you?

I agree with you btw. The platter is not what people should be buying the s3000 for. I bought it because it had a .02% pitch accuracy, period. In terms of that, its almost as good as the Pioneer decks...if only it would extend the range beyond +/-4%.

Working out well. I have learned a grand total of 0 features besides cueing.

I should have paid you an extra $50 to show up at my house and teach me how to use this thing.

The lack of master/cue LEDs should be a deal killer. How can you keep your levels even???

At $300, the 275 is a NO BRAINER at this point.

the xone 32 is solid! the 464 is gonna be a pain to learn on but will definitely be to ur benefit when you improve. you are lucky you didn't order that piece of shit djx700. i have one now and boy does it suck. the 275 is a good buy too.

Also there is no use for a DD cd player. you don't need to move a heavy ass 3 pound platter and a record. So DDs useless for this application

You do know how huge this thing is, right? I was amazed at the size when I saw one in Guitar Center. If you go this route, you are going to need a nice setup for your tables. It wouldnt fit in you average bedroom dj's space.
