Ready to start.

Ok so I am now ready to go out an buy equipment...
I was thinking of getting a numark TT1650 turntable and a Gemsound CDT-525 Slot Load CD Player.
As for the mixer, I was thinking of Traktor.
Does this sound good for a beginner?

Umm, unless I missed something, Traktor is a mixing program for your computer, its not a Mixer for mixing turntables and the like (maybe there is some kind of way of hooking it up though) so you should scrap that, as for the Numark, I haven't heard anything good about those TT1650 really, I would stay clear of them aim for some second hand techs, or if you want new, the Numark TT500 and Stanton ST-150 are great decks, as for CD deck, haven't heard of anything good about Gemsound either, I would look into the Pioneer CDJ200 or something along those lines.

Remember, you get what you pay for.

Hope this helps somewhat, as I am completely mashed and have no idea what I'm on about.

Theyre selling Stanton C-303 CD decks with a platter for 150 if you buy 2. 169 Each.

Stanton C-303 Click Here 169$

Vestax VMC-002 Mixer 169$

Seems like a fine starter setup to me. Cheap.
