Yo, Brian - why did you buy one MK2 and one M3D?
I started off of M3D's, Shure M35S, and a Pioneer DJM-300. Mixer works like a charm, no probs. Turntables are sweet like always, no pitch fluctuations. Needles were alright. Now I have M44-7's and I can play records that'd normally skip on me all the time...and even use less tracking force than the M35S.
I got the good stuff to start off with not because I was rich (actually I'm a broke college kid) but because I knew this is going to be my future. I was lucky enough to get my hands on M3D's and try DJ'ing at first off of the turntables we have at school. Word. |

I just started spinning about a month ago and i learned soo much within this first month. I started off mixing with this gemini mixer 667i with a 12 second digital sampler and 2 technic 1200's mk2's black. After about 3 weeks with this mixer i traded it in and got this pioneer djm-600 which ive been loving becuz of all the features and the effects. The whole deal with the 2 used turntables (but good condition) and a barely used djm-600 all for $1,200.00. This is such an amazing deal. Now i need to make more money to buy a cd player and soem good speakers, then ill be all set.

well, they retail for $1299 but frequently go for lower. don't forget, when buying from the store you also pay tax, and he probably isn't.
it's still a killer deal. |

I would have bought a second MK2 to match the one I bought in November, but when I went on to order my second turntable Sunday night, the MK2s were $50 more than the M3Ds...doesn't make too much sense to me unless you consider that the M3D is probably more in-demand, but still. They wanted $449.99 for the MK2, so I decided to get the M3D for $399.99. Basically, it was purely for money reasons.
And the M3D just arrived today :D :D :D :D This is a major step for me considering I've had to use one turntable and mp3s to mix since January when I got my DJM600. Traktor...yuck...I also had my front and rear channels from my PC separately going to the mixer. Between November, when I got the MK2 and January when I got my mixer, the turntable was just sort of sitting there since there was no mixer. Though I was still collecting vinyls and getting used to the feel of it and honing my beatmatching. So getting this second turntable is wonderful for me. :D
Though now I wish I had originally gotten at least a 1210MK2 when I got the MK2 in November, cause now I've got a 1200MK2 and a 1210M3D...so one's silver and one's black...haha. But an extra $50 wasn't worth getting it in the same color. Anyway...all my major equipment is taken care of, and I'm more than happy. :D |
