turntable wise, it might be worth your while looking at vestax decks, the standard PDX2000 is under £300 since they brought out the mk2 pro. they are the best deck you can buy for that price, IMO they are more useful than 1210's.
as far as cd decks are concerned, if you have the £'s go for the pioneer's (cdj800 onwards) but if you are going to go for the 100's, don't. they are a waste of money when there are better cd decks in that price bracket, usually a bit cheaper. axis9's are mint, and for a bit more there's the denons, which have gone down very well with the users of this forum.
headfones, i can reccommend the sennheiser hd280 (or for that matter, most opf sennheiser's range of cans), or pioneer hdj1000.
mixer-wise, how much are you looking to spend? again have a look at vestax mixers, pioneer's, ecler and denon's. a lot of people seem to like allen & heath (although personally i dont see why) so have a butchers at them too.
if you are looking for something with 3 channels in the middle of the price range, i think the best value for money is the vestax pcv-275. built like a brick shithouse! |
An ASTS arm for standard mixing has more bad parts then good parts! ASTS arms for scratching are awesome, but NOT for mixing! And they are DEFINETLY not more useful then SL-1200's!
And for the rest of you: It is VERY cruel to recommend Technics to a beginner! Rather start with some good OEM turntables, such as the Reloop RP-4000 or the JB-systems T-3 (in any case: NOT numark decks!). If you got some more money you can get the super OEM tables which are VERY good (equal if not greater then a 1200). They are sold by Citronic, American Audio, Reloop, Akiyama, and so on.
And about headphones, do NOT get a HDJ1000. They die even faster then the Sony!
And when it comes to mixers, a PCV-275 is very good indeed but also very expensive. Start with a Gemini PS-626i, which is the best mixer in that pricerange (budgetrange).
