-- help pick between these 2 decks

help pick between these 2 decks

im out too buy a new pair of decks over ebay and the cheapest 2 ive come across, that il probably get a pair of are the gemini tt02 and the gemsound dj2100. can anyone suggest which deck is better if either? im looking at the tt02's athe moment. thanks for any help


Posted by T-Soma on Aug-09-2005 10:11:

I think the best advice your going to find around here is save more money. Out of those two the gemini would probably be better but it would be much better to just save a little bit more money and go for something like a pair numark TT200s.

This is just my opinion so wait around a bit and see what other ppl got to say.


Posted by Dj_Es-Dva on Aug-09-2005 10:24:

im trying to keep my options open, but im limited with the amount of money i want to spend. though if heard the TT200's arent that good


Posted by T-Soma on Aug-09-2005 12:22:

I should have put this in my first post but try the search function in the forum.

I wanted cheap decks to start out on but was lucky to practice on a mates set of numark tt1625's before I wanted decks (ok for scratchin i guess, beatmatching out of the question.. sound wobbled BAD every 20s) but i saved my money and just got some 1210's.. I knew I was gonna want the best later on so why not save the money and just get em to be done with.

thing to remember. get what you pay for!! so hang on before you spend that money! I so glad I did. I love my 1210s

not trying to pimp 1210s cos I have em. Just trying to warn you bout buying cheaper alternatives. Then again any decks are better than none like driving a banged out car beats walking..


Posted by Omega_Blue on Aug-09-2005 17:06:

i'd save a little more and get tt200's. they're not bad for the price.


Posted by trancecadet on Aug-09-2005 18:46:

found the tt200's for...

�375.00 GBP (inc VAT)
�545.09 (1 GBP = 1.45356 EURO)

first site I came across. I only paid �420 (second hand) for my 1210's. they can be found for cheaper too. Question is can you justify the price difference between your budget and s/h techs. If your really serious bout dj'in then get the techs

Yay another dj, we should really form a army one of these days. WE COULD TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!

That's a wee bit harsh don't you think?

The lad's only trying to see if he likes spinning, a new hobby.

That's all it is to a lot of people by the way, a hobby.

Just because a minority has finally gained (what seems to be an unwelcome) amount of attention, now everyone who has dj'd for a few years seems to be getting on this "I was here first!" attitude..

Anyway, just my 2c

its nice to see some people are nice to n00bs, as you stated it is just a hobby for me at the moment ive been mp3 mixing for a while and thats why i finally want to try djing on turntables (and hay how much harm can a 16 year old cause you "pro" dj's)

thanks for the help i really do wish i could save up for 1210's ive used them before and they're nice but way out of my price range.

il see how i go with looking for tt200's or similar


Posted by T-Soma on Aug-10-2005 11:24:

Seing as your in aus like me .
I suggest not buying anything retail from a store around here, try through people you might now that work at some place or try ebay or trading post just whatever you can find realy.
When i was looking at buying my equipment i figured that everything cost way more then it does overseas.

shut up.
Why is that a bad thing? let him get decks and dive it a go insted of negatively discouraging
with ironic posts ''we could take over the world''

get the tts mate they will do a better job holding a pitch ,


Posted by Inertia on Aug-10-2005 16:07:

eBay for 2nd hand techs. you can get great prices, and it's definitely worth it. the things are built like tanks. even if the pitch is busted to hell, as long as the motor is good, $30US for a new pitch slider and you're good to go.

Ah nothing negative about it, Tottaly sugest you go for it just do it for the music, not the fame .

Upset because you know you'll never be famous?

Who cares if someone gets famous from being a DJ? As long as the sets are good, it doesn't matter.

If I were you id get a pair of cdjs or a dual cd deck on a budget.
You need music when starting out and vinyl will be expensive.
get the basics down and collect a few tracks on vinyl then you can look
one and possibly a second turntable .Unless of course you already have cdjs...

Good advice there...

I bought myself some techs, did the whole thing properly as i've been into my EDM music for a good 7 years now.. (i'm nearly 22)

None of my friends liked the music we all like on here so i was on my own when i decided to have a go at mixing music together (or Dj'ing, though we all have to watch out who we call dj's these days now don't we )

Anyway i've got my techs (1210 mk3's) and an average vestax 275 mixer. And i'm having fun. Even though i've only got 20 records at the moment i'm trying to just get my beat matching down to a more respectable time (like before the song finishes lol...jk)

Anyway, i'm now looking at the SSL route, and then i'll probably just buy my favourite songs on vinyl. That means i can slowly amass a nice collection of songs i like

Just my 2p..

Posted by mzvirbulis on Aug-12-2005 12:44:

yeah entertainment warehouse i was looking at it though from i remember it wasnt that cheap...il take another look.

as for cdjs i know in the long run it would be cheaper but it just seems to me that having music on vinyl is just alot cooler as i already have a few anyway. cant wait for vinyl warning to open that store as well
