I'm happy enough with my setup, it's records that I wish I could afford

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"

Exactly, I played in the "cockpit" (^^^ that ^^^) on a redletterday thing and the Stantons didn't even have carts in them, just the tone arms up in the air

There's surely no need for that many tt's too...I'd like to see a DJ who could keep something going on all of them at once, LOL.

The DJ who was there with us (Nick Bridges) reconed he could do five (dunno why you'd want to or how it would possibly work without seriously minimalistic tunes, 3 yeah two tunes one vocal but 5???).

He did three when we were there with ease (was ace). But your right enough it is just a silly number of tables maybe it's for if one breaks mid set.... *shruggs*

BTW they even have a fridge for water and other assorted bevrages now thats the mark of an ace setup!

And it looked differnt when I was in it cos they had a pair of thouse Pioneer CD decks where the Stantons. And the dance floor looked differnt too.

Well they don't always have a single DJ up there.

I do that for records, but not gear

maybe a DJ trio (a la X-Press 2) could fiddle with that many at once? Pete Tong did exclaim during a live show on Essential Mix they were on 6 decks.

i dont feel like checking it out, but is there more than one mixer in that booth? perhaps it would allow you to cue up various records seperately (ie. 2 DJs using two seperate headphones). i dunno. basically, it's so whatever happens, you can't blame the gear
