First time vynal.

Ok Im going vynal in Jan for sure, but I need recomendations on equipment.

In my area I can pick up 2 prepackaged sets that I believe that will be sufficent to learn on yet reasonably priced.

Packaged Sets:

Stanton Platnimum Pack

or

Numark Battlepack DJ system

the Numark system is 200 cheaper but I somehow got a job that pays more than I need so If you want to suggest other sets around $1000 please do, remember I am planning on going full on with my equipment and money wont be an object later, this is just for learning, PLEASE HELP!

Thanks

$1000 would be good for 2 Technics MK3 (~400/each), decent carts (~$50/each) and an ok mixer (Vestax PMC 03 is fine with me and is ~100)

There's you k.

id say either go with two technics 1200's or go for some numark ttx1's. the ttx1's will prolly run you a bit more but are nice tables. the technics, if you plan on spinning at clubs and such, will be good to learn on because thats what you will be spinning on almost anywhere.

wait a lil longer and get technics ... it's not a one night stand so you better make sure you're more than happy with what you're getting.

Posted by EldamRy on Dec-05-2002 17:12:

go with Technic

try to find used !

If you dont like that u can sell it easly

Cool get the tech's.

Posted by Krii on Dec-06-2002 01:36:

Thanks...

I'll go technics and other suggestions...

Hmm if I wait a month and a half thats an extra 750 of expendable income...

Ok what can i get for $1750?

Also where do you reccomend I buy equipment, there's a gituar center in Fresno but I don't mind driving to L.A. or San Fransisco, California DJs any reccomendations?

He he he, that's the setup that i jsut started with. and I must say I couldn't be happier with it. Although i could be happier with my mixing ability Deffinetly a good setup to get, should last a LONG time, at least I hope it will. I also ended up getting warranty's on my tables, just cause I'm paranoid I suppose. from what everyoen says though it isn't really all that necessary.

yep, you, me, and most other TAs decided on this system.

my only regret is my stanton needles, i should have saved up and got ortofons i think.

Posted by Omad0n on Dec-06-2002 03:16:

Which needles did you get? I got some stantons to. For the money I spent I could've gotten the Or's I got the seris 890 A's, which I do know are scratcing needles.

i started off with that stanton pack. The turntables are the biggest piece of shit in the world. But after I got my tech's, it was so easy to use. But honestly in my own opinion, those stanton's taught me a hell of a lot.

When I went to play at this club, the turntables where the biggest piece of shit in the world. I mean the tech's were banged up and would speed up on their own and shit. But my old stantons did the samething, so I was the only one able to spin on those decks . Honestly if you start with tech's, you won't be able to sharpen your first time skills as good if you had some dinky piece of shit. But that's just me
