Thanks for stopping by so far everyone. What is a standalone amp though? Also what if you want to spend a little? Not alot just nice products that aren't over priced or unecessary. Also what about mixers? Is PIONEER DJM600 too much, and what is the difference between that and the 500?

standalone amp: a simple amplifier, does nothing but amplify an audio input signal to power speakers.

as opposed to a receiver, with integrated signal switching and tuning capabilities.

the DJM500 and DJM600 are very similar. the 600 has somewhat more effective EQs, a few more cheeseball effects, and a few other minor differences that I just cant recall at the very moment. If I recall correctly, the 600 does have a better cueing setup, I dont think the 500 has the cue pan knob, but it's also been a few years since i've touched a 500.

bottom line: DJM series mixers are expensive for what you get.

If you must buy a pioneer mixer, go for the DJM3000. It has a nicer layout and somewhat cleaner output than a DJM500 or 600. They just feel smoother to mix on, period. It's also smaller and lighter, and the crossfader toggled effects are kinda neat.

Consider a Vestax unit to start with. The 275 is really popular among this group of people, and for good reason.. if you going to spend big money on a mixer, you might as well get a Rane or Allen&Heath!

I'll have to check into those mixers. It doesn't have to be a certain brand as long as it's nice for handling porposes and reliable. Thats the improtant thing I assume.

Guitar Center is awesome. My DJX700 was marked $250 and they gave it to me for $200 with no tax

Well my $.02 is that after reading many posts on the best starting mixer, I have come to the conclusion that the best mixer is a Vestax PCV, I just ordered myself a PCV-175 (3 ch mixer, 3band eqs) and I payed $239 shipped to my door.

Heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ssPageName=WDVW

I thought that was an amazing price too for brand new in box. Anyway if you are looking to spend around $150, you might want to save that extra 90 and be happier. I havent gotten it yet, but I have only heard good things.

Good luck

wats the diff between the pvc-175 and the 275?
