I'm with Stiles on this one...

If you're getting into it, don't mess around with the cheap stuff. You get what you pay for with electronics. Cheap gear will only prolong your learning frustration. It also won't give you a true feel for beatmatching and manipulation. Most companies on the market use newbie's lack of knowledge against them.. and will usually trick you into buying their product based on look or features. IGNORE FEATURES.. they cost you money and are rarely worth it.

However, if you need to skimp out, do it on the mixer, amp or speakers to begin with. Those things can easily be upgraded later and won't seriously impact the development of your mixing technique. If you're interested in turntables, don't get anything but Technics. Some may argue differently, but there is no other true-feel turntable on the market. As I said before, don't be fooled by fancy LCDs and gizmos like BPM counters, reverse effects or other retarded "wow-factor" add-ons. They're pointless and will only get you off on the wrong foot.

What was mentioned previously about CDJs... they're bang on. 200s if you're broke... if you can splurge on 800s do it... no need to jump up to the 1000s.

That's my two sense...

I remember, way back in the day when I was little, I wanted to be an astronaut. After my mom bought me a spacesuit, I saved up a few billion for a space shuttle, but only after my first trip to the moon I found out it wasn't for me.

If we only had eBay then, I could have sold my stuff there.
