No.

Save up for Techs or Vestax...numarks are poo for beatmatching, and so are gemini's...and stantons are just out of the question crap.

What mixer do you have right now? Also, why not just get one turntable since you have cds already? instead of getting a gemini pack (worst by all means) get 1 sl-1200 mk5.

well becaus i want to get rid of cd's all together lol i want vinyl 100% lol

out of those 3 numark stanton or gemini what would be my best bet.. or anything else i have a gemini mixer but its a long 1 (rack mountable)

Just out of curiosity, what "cdj"s do you have?

i dont have "cdj"'s as in cdj 200 or 800 i have the cfx40's (geminis) and im still a begginner and i dont wanna use cd's anymore cause its wack lol i have a 500 dollar budget i need to no wat would be the best brand cause i dont have enough for technics yet,

yea that what i ment...cdjs as a term for cd turntables , but yea I hear ya! Have you ever tried a cdj 800 though...i am assuming the cfx40 cannot simulate vinyl and therefore making mixing for beginner somewhat boring? Go to a guitar center and try a cdj 800 if you havent already...bring your favorite track . But the reason why I ment only one turntable because you can always mix between cd and vinyl, especially if that one turntable is a technics. then save up for another one as time goes on.

Numark tt500s

ya the cfx 40 has real time scratching, the thing is im just tired of cd's all together lol. but does everybosy really use technics?? lol

Ripped off? Take a look at the resale value of technics...thats one the biggest reasons for getting them also, great decks!

I bought this. I have learned a TON so far on this setup. I am almost ready to make the leap to Technics. But for now, I will continue practicing on this setup. The Numark's in this package are direct drives and they beatmatch just fine. The mixer is very basic, but you are a beginner, for now this should do you well.

I learned on those tt1625's.. They are alrite just to learn on. You will find you'll soon be after a higher quality deck pretty soon tho when your skills improve

I'd suggest getting up some patience and saving up for Techs. Most people are like, "Damn, you have an awesome setup!" when they could have the same thing. It's all about patience.

ya i think im gonna get some techs from my local dj store but is it ok if there used thery refurbish everything.. two 1200's for 300 each sounds pretty good to me wat do u guys think?

Hey, wat's wrong with the stanton's


I mix with them all the time....

i admit but, i've never used a high quality TTs or mixers like techs or vestax. But still.... the stanton's did the job for me.

My cheap setup totally does the job. I can beatmatch and everythin etc. etc.

isn't that all u really want in the end. I mean my friend's stantons (the ones i always use), are easily about a year old, and do cop a fair beating.
