Am I the only one that does this? I sit on the computer for hours late at night at go through every equipment store that I can find searching for all this great equipment that I can't afford right now. AGHHHHH, its so annoying to see all the pretty pictures and just imagine yourself jamming on beautiful new equipment, but you cant, cuz youre broke from buying too much shit already God dammit, I need a job
Thanks for letting me vent

LOL I used to that too.... looking at the manuals for all the decks and compairing and contrasting them....
It came to a head when I was with some other people and one guy asked a Ministry of Sound resident "Whats new on the new Technics" he said about the click then I went on to go into HUGE detail about other things which are differnt and then was talking about what was differnt about the Stantons they have at MOS which they don't use and why they are actually good... when I finally stopped everyone was looking at me funny..... I felt ashamed.... and I knew I also had a problem

I know exactly what you mean! I was hoping to buy this Korg Kaoss KP2 effects processor ($300) but then I just dropped about $200 on records yesterday, so no effects thingie for me. It's kind of a love/hate relationship. I love looking at all the cool gear at places like djmart.com, but I hate knowing that I don't have the money to buy the stuff!

Why do they have the stantons if they don't use them...I've always wondered why they even had them to begin with. Stantons are good decks but a big club like MOS should definetly have top of the line techs.
And it's good to know lots about equipment. I'm sure it's the same as with any other "instrument" if you consider DJ equipment an instrument...guitar players know everything about guitars, DJs know everything about DJ equipment.

It's because the ministry of sound is sponsored by stanton.
look at the str8-100 on the right side. See it's tonearm is in the way so it would be a pain in the ass if you attempt to do anything with that deck. it's simply there for looks and for stanton to say "our decks are in the MoS dj booth"

hahah yeah jesse you do spend a lot on equipment..
i would but i am real tight with $$ and i keep buying records ! i think if you're a vinyl dj there is no way to save up money. i look at something that i'm considering buying and i think, hmm i could buy x # of records with that
i'm bad with clothes too, i keep trying to tell myself that i don't need anymore...but yet i keep buying them. (doesn't help that i work in a clothes store in a mall haha)
Its cool man do it all the time, drooling over the DJM 600... I almost had the money for it a few months back, but guess where my money went....records
I also drool over having Tech's one day too...
so dont feel bad
God dammit, I need a job
