| I read most of the threads on here and I have made the decision to purchase CD Turntables instead of Vinyls for financial purposes. What I need now is advice on which brand and type of turntable to buy and what kind of mixer and software. All advice and opinions are welcome, thank you. |

Low Budget: Pioneer CDJ 200's x2
Mixer: Go to a DJ Store, DO NOT BUY BEHRINGER MIXERS, OR NUMARK! Buy a decent middle range one. What you like. |

I might go to a DJ store to check out various mixers but i wouldn't buy one there. You'll get way better deals online, especially around christmas time i'd guess.
A few people go on about the Numark DXM 06 being good etc. That might be a good place to start.
But it all depends on how serious you are and what budget you have.
The more you pay the better you get, that's a very rough rule though.
Don't get anything cheap anyway as it'll just break eventually and you'll just have to spend more money replacing it :)

I've heard too many stories about numarks faders dying in a very short time. Or something dies on it very quick. |

| Well everyone slates gemini, and ive had my gemini ps 650i mixer from new for 4 years now and its still got the original faders, sounds amazing from the balanced outputs after all this time aswell. Once i get the pioneer efx 500 in the new year ill eventually upgrade to a mixer with send and returns. Just purchase wisely and look after your equipment and enjoy it all the same. |

| someone mentioned the pioneer cdj-200 as low budget...while i agree that obviously they are low priced, they low not "low budget" gear at all. i feel absolutely no need to upgrade from my 200's. they have every feature any beginner could ever want, and probably a lot more. i've had mine for 6 months and i'm still figuring great features out. |

I'd rather just get equipment I know I can beat the hell out of and blow smoke into without having to worry about it dying on me. I'm serious. |

| i cant complain about numark at all. I had one a dxm 01 mixer a few years back and it wokred great. I currnently am spinning on Numark tt-500 and damn am i impressed. they have very high torque and a sturdy as hell.. I tripped over a stair carring one in my apt and it took the fall like a pro.. I have heard the tt-200's suck , but like one person said i dont own the 200's so i cant judge..but i will say theirs nothing wrong with numark |
