I am already set on buying techics turntables but not sure about which mixer for a beginner/amateur DJ? Any suggestions?
Any suggestions for headphones will be useful too..

thanx

i started out with a Pioneer DJM 300 and SOny MDR-7506 headphones....i like them alot.

I didn't have alot of money to start out with so I had to buy second grade stuff. Couldn't even get MK2s. I got 2 American DJ decks this mixer (which isnt bad) and Technics RP-DJ1210's (excellent headphones)

Whats your price range?Vestax PCV-275 would be good with the 1200's for around $400.
Pioneer DJM-300 for around $350

these are good mid-ranged mixers.. though there are always higher and lower priced mixers..!

I had to start out with that really crappy Numark mixer. I forget the name.

What do you guys thinks of the behringer vmx300..has all the features found on a pioneer djm300 but at half the price..
Anyone has any experience with this mixer?

i sugest that you look for either a numark, pioneer or vestax mixer

I really donä't know anything about the numarks but I've heard a lot good things about them

My friend has a Pioneer djm-300 mixer and it's a nice mixer for the beginner....and it's very easy to bring with ya for houseparties ans such couse it comes in a very comapct format

I myself started out with a Vestax PCV-275 mixer and it's aboslutley wonderful...I've only found one bad thing about it and it's the space between the knobs....but that might be my fingers that are to big

and also...if the 275 seems a bit to expensive they have a lightversion of it called PCV-175 (the blue one)


my sugestion is that you try to find a friend that has the mixer or try them at a store.....after all it has to feel good for you too

The VMX-300 has many good features and is definately good value.. its just the the eq. on the Behringer is not as accurate than the DJM-300's. Though if your $$$ isnt limited to $200 (VMX_300), you should go after the DJM-300 or the quality PCV-275
