Right now im leaning towards the djlab.2 package but I just feel like they are going to be a piece of crap and whatnot |
The Stanton set is a pretty solid setup for a beginner-to-intermediate level DJ. There's two schools of thought on this though:
1. Some people prefer to get entry level equipment to start with and upgrade later. The advantage of this method is that if you realize that you don't actually like DJing, you won't have spent thousands of dollars on something you really don't like. The disadvantage, of course, is that it is more expensive in the long run to be constantly upgrading your equipment.
2. Others prefer to buy top-of-the-line equipment from day one. Contrary to option 1, this method has a higher up-front cost but a lower long term cost.
It is a matter of personal preference really. I started off with the first option because I was a college student and that was financially viable for me. I had the Numark kit back then and it worked pretty well for a starter kit (although the ones Stanton makes now are far superior). Once finances were no longer an issue, I adopted option 2 and purchased top shelf everything. While my mixing continued to improve, I can't attribute it to the better equipment.
Another thing to consider is that if you buy a pair of Technics 1200's you as might as well get a pair of decent needles for them, so add another couple hundred dollars to the cost.
