Hi
ive been listening to trance for a long time.. listening to live sets.. videos..
and im ALWAYS listening to music. everywhere. a friend of mine Djed and i came with him a couple times.
so i think DJing would be right for me.. I think i have an ear for music
so a friend of mine will sell me his Vestax PCV 275. i hear thats pretty good,but is it too good for me? since im just starting out..
also what are a good pair of TT"s to get? technics are a little too expensive for me
I hear the Gemini's arent bad.. like the 400's |

there's no such thing as a mixer that's too good :D too expensive maybe :) I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the 275, so if you can afford it (and it's in good state) Go for it. However, as a starting DJ you really only need a basic mixer, almost anything with 3EQ band will do. But if you can get your hands on a better mixer (IE 275) for a good price, do it :)
If you can't afford tech 1200's I recommend these gemini TT's:
PT-2400
PT-2100
Be sure you get Direct-Drive TT's though... it may cost a bit but in the end it's worth it. If you buy belt-driven you will probably be buying new tables AGAIN within 1-2 years. :) |

You'll probably want to upgrade anyway if you get into it, so either don't splash out too much or go the whole way. The second option is risky - maybe you'll get bored of it - so most people do the first. get a low end pair of direct drives, as ampburner says, maybe even getting some second hand. Once you've been doing it for a year or two you won't be happier with anything less than Technics or Vestax though, so bear that in mind.
A starter DJ package sounds a good plan - nice and cheap :) |

don't get a package... most packages are crap...
I'm not sure if the price for the 275 your friends asking is a good price. I know that a lot of TA's have 275... so guys? what do you say?

well yes that depends on your definition of small. A normal stereo would suffice. but not one of those mini-sets :)
other than that you don't need anything... well... needles of course... and records... and then... practise :) |

i'd pick up that 275 if I were you - should keep you happy for quite a while :)
as far as tables.. id just get techs if you can afford them... but whatever you do dont get belt drive tables.
the Pt2100/2400's are good suggestions, i'd agree... if you cant afford technics.
