I'm on a real tight budget. I just need some decent decks and a mixer, not too expensive. I thought these decks looked ok but guess not! lol I've read reviews, and it's a mixed bunch.

What's the difference? The decks are the same. The mixer?

Get something a little better like the T80s. It might cost more but they should last you and be all you need if your not super serious about being a DJ (or a pro one).

Ok, so i've been browsing on ebay. I've found the stanton T80's for £300 a pair. I've also seen a package, which includes headphones and a UREI 1601E mixer. Shall i buy the package with this mixer or but the decks separate and look for a new mixer?

If you can afford £300 on decks go that little extra and hold out for a pair of second hand 1210s. Take your time to find a good deal. You'll be infinitely happier with them.

But my best advice would be to save your cash and purchase some Pioneer CDJs. It'll be cheaper in the long run, you'll spend a fraction purchasing tunes and recoup your money within a few months.

Go for the CDJ200s.

You'll thank me in a years time.

I quite like thos stanton turntables, they look good value for money, but with the t80 you get key lock. Also around that price range are the turntables im currently using, Numark tt1650's which i cant fault, they are good decks.

Everyone on this forum will tell you to avoid behringer mixers like the plague, but ive never used one, so i wouldnt know. You could try the numark dxm01, which is a digital mixer, at around £120 new

Why not try going second hand? I picked up two numark tt1650's, a dxm06 (excellent mixer) and two ortofon pro dj-s cartridges for under £200.

Yes that is a good alternative, but its nice to learn on vinyl, if these are his first decks.

No, these won't be my first decks. I currently own Numark t1625's. I bought them second hand from ebay like 2 years ago. They worked perfectly at first, but one of them doesn't work anymore. Also, the mixer is shit and hardly functions properly. Christmas is coming up, so i'm persuading my mum and dad to buy some for me It's not like i don't know how to DJ. In those two years i had loads of practice and can do it almost perfectly now.



I can't spend alot though. The budget isn't too high. So i just want a nice set of decks, with a decent mixer. Something that isn't too pricey, functions properly, has the right features and so on for a snall price. So i thought maybe a package would be fine.

I'm thinking of buying the Stanton T80's and buying a mixer separate. What do you think?

That sounds like a good plan. Yeah sure you can get some used Techs, but if you want something new, go with those. Also, you should look into something like Torq from M-Audio.
