im surprised nobody picked up on this. dont know about you people but most of the people i know who DJ (some in a semi professional capacity), the amount of money they spend on their setup is *DWARFED* by the amount they spent and continue to spend on records.

id buy your no nonsense turntables, a decent pair of closed cans (such as audio technica ATH-A900s) and a no frills, no nonsense mixer then stick the rest in a savings account and over the next 3 years, consider it pocket money for buying records. because you will buy a hell lot of records.

O.K everyoneone knows you have to have
Technics 1200's
CDJ 1000 MK 2's
And good head phones I have got Technics RPDJ1200's
For the mixer though I would have to recommend the Urei 1620le
Do not dismiss this mixer, it is probably the best sound mixer on sale in the world right know. If you have to have fancy features get a Pioneer EFX1000 and a Dope Real or Duo Isolator for EQ.
This will give you the best sound for your money.
For the monitors get some good active studio monitors, you'll have to go and listen to some, but try to get some that you can match a sub woofer with. If you have any money left contact Deconomix who can build you a unit to put all the equipment in.
I have a Urei and trust me I will never go back to mixing with linear sliders or crossfaders again. The control you have over the mix with the rotaries is unsurpassed.
