Plz HELP me choose my gear!!!

Hi.

Nexy weekend I'm going to buy my gear. Iv'e got about 1400 usd. I've decided to get me a Numark TTX1 and a mixer. Which one of these do you think is the biggest bang for the buck? A) Behringer VMX 300, Behringer DJX 700 or C) Numark PPD 01. I want you to make your opinion not basing on which do you think is the best, but which one has the best benefit/cost value.

Another thing. I want to get a TT and a mixer first, since I don't have a lot of records and I can get better gear than if I buy two TTs and a mixer, since the budget would splice into three. I've got an excelent laptop with an amazing mixer with a lot of functions, and I've got 500+ mp3s. (most of them were ripped from original cds I bought...) So I can use the PC instead of another turntable. What do you think of this?

Thanks in advance,

Mario.

Do yourself a favor and do not get anything Berhinger...especially their mixers (they suck mad balls). Get a good solid mixer like a DJM 5/600, or even a Vestax PCV 275 is way better than anu berhinger. Your buying good decks, so don't skimp on one of the most important pieces of your system...the mixer. You will get way better sound quality, better faders, blah blah blah . If you want to get the best sound, step up to Rane or A&H, they are worth the money trust me!!

yeah, don't buy behringer, you'll regret it some day.

Also, i wouldn't buy TTX1 because of the tonearm which is said to be quite crappy... Any numark tonearm is said to be crappy anyway. I'd buy techs or a good alternative (stanton st150!) if i were you.

Well the TTX will cost you 800$ max
which leaves you with 600$

Well then you can get Allen & Heath Xone32 which is mint

In response to the original question, I have the Numark PPD-01, and I like it quite a bit. Works for all my purposes. It might be a bit limiting, though, if you want more than just two channels, each having one phono and one line. Good luck with whatever you get.

The DJX 700 is a fine mixer for the cost. I use it for my bedroom setup as I don't really see the point of shelling out 700-1000 dollars for a bedroom only mixer. As long as it is for a bedroom only setup you will not have any complaints about it. The TTX1s are great turntables, a friend of mine got some on ebay, used but still in excellent condition for about $550 so look around a bit.

Because of poor sound quality, and really cheap shitty faders.

stanton str8-150 has a very strong tork but i would buy technics mk2.. i wouldn't buy any behringer mixer.. it tones very bad.. i'd choose stanton for mixer (for beginning).. it's a good idea to buy only 1 tt & 1 mixer and using your laptop for the second channel if you have no vinyls.. when you have a good archive buy the second tt..
