I'm also eyeing the Stanton PLatinum Pak, as I am saving every penny right now. Anyone have this package? How are the STR-80's?? Straight arm ok? i might also upgrade the mixer later to the Stanton Rm3s or the VEstax 275..but thats not gonna be for AWHILE..right now i have to get this equipment and buy RECORDS!!

If I were u, I would buy Stanton str8-90s. They have a higher torque than the 80's. and they are analog.

btw. each is 300 $

I seriously thinking getting a pair of Gemini PT2400 but the Technics SL1200M3D looks good too

Anymore suggestion on what to get with 1000 bucks...........(I'm willing to add a couple hundred to the budget)

Don't get packs; you're better off shopping and having fun making choices.
Get Techs; and get a decent pair of headphones. You don't have to get a fabulous mixer; you can upgrade later if you're good.

Better than sex.

get 2 techs and a decent mixer, and save for good headphones/needles/vinyl

man I got both my tech. mkII's for $675 (american) with shipping. get second hand ones!

2 x Gemini PT-2410's (US$240 x 2)
1 x Vestax PCV-175 (US$300)
1 x Sennheiser HD-280 Pro (US$90)

thats a total of $870..
