moved 2 appropriate forum..


sry can't really help here.. try n find some customer reviews eh?? i think this is 1 of the models i was looking at when i 1st started researching tables.. probly a good beginner table tho i'd say.. (i'm a beginner tho so maybe don't listen 2 me lol!! i went straight 4 the tech 12's..) especially if ur gettin em on the cheap.. don't drop a bundle 2 start up..

Yeah I agree w/ Jareblue don't spend a bunch to start you can always upgrade if you think its something you really want to do... I would look at CDJ's If I was you....Tre

Numarks arent bad but personally i shy away from anything they make as far as turntables or cdj's go I'm not sure what yer looking to get into but if you want to do any scratching at all i wouldnt get these, Also another thing you want to be careful of is pitch accuracy, a cheap turntable like this probably doesn't have very good accuracy and so mixing will be harder but doable. Also the tonearm probably isn't great as well as the torque. Id suggest Stanton T.80's thats what i learned on.. the pitch control is pretty accurate and you can scratch on em. hope that helped a bit
Oops almost forgot, as far as that mixer goes eh, i use a numark mixer and im quiet happy with it altho its not the same one, itll certainly get you started and the usb will make it easier to record your mixes and hear yourself, very important. On a cheaper mixer your going to get some fuzz in the background however as well as the curves on the faders arent going to be very good, But itll get ya started.
Do keep in mind however that you can DJ on cheaper equipment But to learn on it might be very frustrating

thanks guys... I'm going to keep researching and ask around... I have a friend with technic tables.... not sure what mixer.... I'll play around with those a little and be patient.... Once I get the feel of the whole thing maybe I'll dive in... LOL

i started out with the 1625's and id recomend themm, the kind your looking at is similar, but with a light...

and id stay away from any cheap mixer other than a djx700. thats what id recomend, and after you figure out if djin is for ya, then invest in a pro set up. imo

[DJ_Eezergud]

Deffinatley play around with yer buds equipment ..um..dj equipment roflmao. i wish i had that luxury when i started out, id say if you have a pair of technics that are accessible play with those until you get the basics down and save up to buy a better set up then what yer lookin at..thats just my two cents but itll save ya some money

[burrow2010]

OK I saw a set of technic 1200 for $800 with needles and scratch needles brand new
not sure which 1200 series but is this a good deal?!?!? I mean the cheapest 1200 I saw on the internet was 599

[DJ_Eezergud]

Well if its the basic model technics ya yer gonna be saving some cheese..even more with the needles altho i dont know what kind they are but im gonna guess that there shure m44-7's which are fantastic
if its second hand which im assuming it is, if it was me i'd want to know how old they were and how heavily they have been used.
If you do get em the first thing you do after you check them out thoroughly is make sure the pitch control is accurate, i'll post a vid on how to do this if i can find it again and yer interested
id jump on it tho it sounds like a good deal to me
is it on the interenet do you have a link? perhaps i can give you some better info

Technics and Pioneer! There is no substitute.

Don't make the same mistake I did by buying cheap shitty epuipment to start. If you are serious about djing save your money and buy the good stuff the first time around. I bought some crappy Numark tt100 tables and an even crappier Gemini mixer in 1999. I outgrew all of it in the first couple months and then had to wait and save money for a proper upgrade. BTW... Cheap equipment is worth even less on a trade in.
