Your equipment sounds fine, I've got PT 1000's and they mix fine. Dunno about the Numark mixer, I don't really trust that company, I've got a gemini mixer. So long as it can fade and cut/lower frequencies, you should be okay.
Remember, your mixing skills and vinyl are infinitely more important than your equipment (so long as the equipment works)! Work on building your vinyl collection and honing your mixing skills. Your equipment is only going to change if you start mixing at clubs and the like, so don't be too concerned with it.

I heard the Vestax PMC 275 is a really nice mixer
also the PMC 55 looks gr8 2

I have the Vestax PCV175 and I love it, 275 has nicer kills tho

Well i have made a dission i will buy them .. i mean if there suck i will sell them to some one else ...
and buy other dexs


Tnx all

I have the Numark DM3002X mixer and i would recommend choosing something else. The sound quality is very poor. I love all the functions it has, but when i hear hissing and popping sounds when i use certain features, it pisses me off to think i wasted my money on this thing. Also, the output for the record out is WAY weaker then the output for the main out. Go for the vestax 175, or the stanton RM3.

As far as the decks go, pick up some Numark TT-100. I have used these and as long as you get some real slippery slip mats they work very well. They are good beginner decks for around $200 U.S.

I do not recommend Numark turntables. They seem to have a pretty bad reputation from every DJ I've met. For beginner turntables, go with Gemini.

Agreed. The only turntables worse than Numark ones are those made by SoundLab. Now they are some really abysmal decks!

Don't immediatley rule out Numark mixers though. They have a bad reputation that they don't deserve. They give excellent value for money - obviously they are budget mixers, and I'm not saying they are better than Vestax mixers or anything, but for the price they are certainly better than comparably priced Gemini mixers.
