Need a recommendation for DJ gear

Hey

Been around for a while, and it's about time I get myself some decks and an okay mixer.

Could someone recommend me a decent pair of decks and a mixer at around 950USD?

I was looking at Numark's DJINABOX sets, but upon reading some reviews I changed my mind. Many people report that they don't deliver. It seems like the decks are trashy, and the whole setup is just a cheap trick. Although bad they're priced at around 275USD, I figure I might as well spend a bit more and get something that'll last.

get a pair of 1200s off of Ebay for <$600.

buy a new Vestax PCV-275 for $300 (if you can still get one).

take the extra $50 and buy 10 records.

Don't buy the dj-in-a-box thing. It might be fun for a while but, down the road you will realize what a waste of money it is as you will want to upgrade your equipment.

Techs are the standard but, you could also look at Numark TT500's for around $250-300 brand new.

Numark DXM06 mixer is $250-285 brand new.

Best suggestion is to go out and try all this stuff out before you decide to buy.

I have 1200's and the DXM06 now, after owning a TTX and a TT500 first. I wish I would've gotten Tech's the first time around but, that is just me and my personal pref.

What Cosmo said. I've been watchin 1200's on ebay lately and I've seen pairs go for alot less than 600, which means even more extra cash.
