-- So you got $500 bucks
So you got $500 bucks
Graduation money coming in and all. My current set up is
mdr 700's
2 techs mk5g
275 mixer
2 ortofon's
2 decent speakers
What would you add to this set up given 500. 50 new vinyl? A efx 500? Looking for some help, I'm asking because I heard nothing but bad stuff running any effects through a Pcv 275. Any advice is needed and appreciated thanks.
i say go for a cdj-800
|]r|_|&s and rekkids!
cdj.
Just be wary that if you DO go for the cdj, it's likely that you will want to get another pretty quick. That's what happened with me.
Personally, I'd save it to go towards a DN-X1500.
a cdj-200 and 10-15 vinyls.
yup cdj and some vinyl. that or some a pair of used ones.. maybe you could find a pair for under 5 i dunno
COme on guys... what he needs is a good mixer!
Money for vinyl can always come by every now and then and you can save up for the cdj 200s (300 only). What you need is a solid mixer which will last you a long time and has good sound quality. Save up for a denon Dn-x1500 (around 625 -650$ brand new,ebay stores) or save even more for the Allen and heath (you will never need another mixer after you get the A&H)
denon one would be great too.
I appreciate all the imput given on this thread. And now I've come to the decision, Either save for a A & H mixer or get a cdj 200. I've heard nothing but good things from both the items. What can be said for the Xone 92 that hasn't been said before, just pure quality. On the other hand A cdj 200 would help me experience the CDJ life style and be better accustomed to playing out with a cdj more. Plus cheaper music but a much narrow selection of music at the same time. So, the new question. Save or get the cdj 200?
Depends on how long it would take you to save for the A&H.
Unless you are very financially strict, you should not say "I'll save" and end up with nothing.
If you cant afford and A&H (62 or better) in say, 6 months of saving, id opt for the cdjs.
i'd vote for the cdj now. opens up a lot of new stuff, and the chance to experiment with more and more varied music, without the expense of stocking up on vinyl. might even help you save more for your mixer in the long term.
Thats a nice setup. Why not get some vinyl and spend time behind your decks before you buy even more toys.

seriously tho...
me id buy either cases or a coffin, im constantly running my setup back and fourth from my moms house to my house to friends houses... one of the power cords for my decks had the prongs snapped off by the car door on accident and i had to cut off the useless plug and ghetto rig a plug that i nicked from some old blender i found in the kitchen
always a good investment to have protection when you need it rather than need it and not have it
The Denon is a solid choice too... it will be a big jump from the Pcv-275, if you don't want to wait long for the A&H.
As far as cdj is concerned, i think you already have a decent vinyl setup and if you wait another 4-6 months the price of the cdj200s is bound to drop (esp. once the ebay stores start selling them).
Decisions.... Decisions.... 
Well thanks to all the imput im going with the CDJ 200. Was a hard debate but came to the conclusion that my buddy lets me borrow his coffin when ever I need it so the priority for having one isnt high at the moment. Getting a A & H mixer would be orgasmic but im not known for my patience in saving money. And considering how cheap you can buy music for cdj's that would save me alot of money and give me good experience with the cdj world. Figure spend around $250 for say 200 songs compared to 100 vinyl costing $1000 dollars. Twice the music plus my vinyl collection is reaching 200 so I got enough vinyl to satisfy me. And all I need is a effects unit I would think and I would be in business for a bit.
And I would like to thank all those who put their 2 cents posting in this thread really great information you TA's gave.
Well if you havent already spent your 500 $ if your computer is up for it defenatly go for
the stanton final scratch 2 .
I like it more over any cdj . Trust me I own a cdj1000mk2.
Its easy to use .it feals like your mixing with vinyl so you still get to use your toy.
Also get your self 2 pairs of monster cable rca to minimize any hum.
Now if your computer is slow there might be delay ...so I guess you should consider
the cdj 200.
You should get $450 worth of beer and spend the rest on a transexual hooker.
buy yourself good tracks.. thats all
