Damn, that does some like a pretty wicked deal Chex, thanks. I'm not huge on brand-name but honestly do you get what you pay for? I've seen some Numark/pioneer/panasonic tables/cdj's up there in price but I've also heard some BIG complaints about them, and not the price.

And a mixer isn't all that huge of a deal, where I work already has a Pro mixer 1000 I think is the model...lots of bells and whistels and such. Boss said I can practice there whenever I want using that mixer once I have my tables..And I already have some wicked hook-ups set up to get vinyls so that's not as big of an issue as actually finding a quality table that i'm not going to 'out-grow' in a matter of a month.

Once again folks thanks for the input and link.

i got my str8 100s for about $209 each and dxm03 mixer for $120. if you want something like that, i can maybe help you out on what i did.

I personally wouldn't buy from that site. However, i do like to take advantage of some companies' Price Matching policy. And yes, you DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR... I personally only played w/ a tt500 once, but it has the same motor and tonearm as the ttx-1 without all the digital junk. And considering how much praise Numark has been getting lately for their new ttx-1 and tt-500s, i put the tt500 on the top of the mid range list.
But, even though the tt500 is a really sweet deck, if you can afford a 1200, i would say go for it. B/c even though the numark deck is nice, the 1200 will hold it's value much better and it's probably much easier to get replacement parts in the future.

Help?! Help is good, always up for a good dose of help.

Yea personally i reccomend stanton tables... anything above the 80's is good... but stay away from anything lower (one of the local vinyl stores has a str8-60 setup for listening and i cant handle it for just that), In a personal opinion there great tables to learn on... i learned on 80s and loved them heaps... now iam a bit of a stanton tables fan (due to the extra fetures...etc (everyone is entitled )) that i will be getting a pair of str8-150's in a month or too.

As for online shopping when i was searching around for my mixer i ended up shopping with World Market Electronics and they wer top notch and are cool with any and all shipping... i mean they offer dual voltage... considering iam in austraia its kinda cool and ended up saving about $500AU.
