Which one to get..? (First equips)

http://www.123dj.com/packages/turntable/firstmix3.html

http://www.123dj.com/packages/turnt...nkflex2002.html
(it doesn't say the price; it's actually 219.99)

Both are beltdriven models that come with headphones...

the 1st one, IMO, looks nicer (the turntables)... is cheaper... and has a stereo mixer... which is, technically.. inferior to the EQ mixer right?? well my thinking is... if i start out with stereo mixing... maybe it will be easier to learn beat-matching?? (and more money for vinyls xDDDDDDDDDDDD)... Comes with slipmats (don't know what's thats for.. lol.. anyone care to explain?)

the 2nd one... of course.. EQ mixer allows for wayyyy more possibilities... and cueing?? can someone please tell me cueing???

so.. i guess the point of this thread for me was to look for answers and see your guy's/girl's opinions on which is a better deal/what i should get... THANKS!!!

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy belt driven decks. Save up a little longer and get direct drive. Otherwise a few months down the track you'll be sitting there wishing you never considered belt driven.

is the one I got! They work great after awhile you want to get bigger and better but its really a great package to start off with. Hope you make a good choice and choose Direct Drive Turntables!

Behold, my arse.

Don't go near beltdrives, the link infinite gave you is like soo much better then the ones you were considering and it's just a bit hihger.



Features:

2 line and 2 phono inputs.

2 band EQ and Gain control per channel.

Cue section features cue level and cue pan.

Mic input with 2 band EQ

User replaceable faders

Compact size


It looks like a good beginner mixer, wouldn't need anything more.

Dude, do not get Belt Drives, for just over a year i have wanted decks, when i managed to save enough up to buy the shitest belt drives, i was guna buy them ( the package was about £200) and i was so tempted. but i read these posts and thought about it, and saved for 4 more months. and on tuesday i finally got my decks. i got:

Numark TT1650's
Numark DM3000x

I paid £365 for it in the end. With cables, headphones, a Stanton Video and Record Bag.

I think its a really good set, i have managed to beat match the odd mix here and there and i have really got used to a few tracks and can get a solid mix in everytime. I went round to my mates house yesterday and he had bought some belt drives ( cant remember model - sorry) and i tryed to mix my records with them ( the ones i can mix) and i found it almost impossible, as when i touched the record to slightly slow it down, the whole platter stopped spinning, and the start up torque is really really bad. SOme people will tell you to get belt drives and practise, then when you move up to Direct Drives you will be really good, but DONT, get Direct Drives and a mixer that has EQ's.

Most people will agree with me too.

Trust Me, you wont regret it.

I know this has been said a million times before, save up for technics. They "never" break and you don't have to upgrade later.
