Is this a good deal?

[ElsxBells]

my mate's been offered numarks tt100 with a mixer dm1002x tecnics headphones and speakers with a built in amp for 425.00 maybe some records aswell. She's not sure if its a good price or not. Theyre only 8 months old.

 

What do u reckon?

nah save another £400 and get technics

[serenity]

for [censored] sake everyones so obsessed with technics basically I need something as a starter, i mean say if i was really [censored] at it... in this deal i get the mixer and the headphones and speakers so I would be having to save more then 400??? I just need to know really if i am paying the right price for this! And I got till saturday!

I dont know jack [censored] about these sort of things hon, but looks like it could be a good deal...

[Lisa]

have you tried surfing the net for these type of equipment, look at prices etc & compare, best advise I can offer really hon!! x

[Jimmy]

no need to swear. only givin my opinion I went and bought [censored] decks before I got me technics and I regretted it just passin on my advice.

Agreed, with Cunted!

 

I started using 1210's and wouldn't use anything else, you get what you pay for at the end of the day, but i'd suggest saving for Technics, the industry standard when all said & done!!

 

But it all boils down to money & preference!

ya best bet in that instance is to play about on someone elses decks and decide if its sumat you wanna get into properly.... If you bought decks and decided you liked it, you would only end up needing to upgrade later anyway!

Same Here!!

i think its a good deal to be honest - those tt100s are quite nice decks think theyre £400 a pair new so id say good deal yeah!

[luke revival]

Technics all the way.

If you get cheaper ones you'll get to a standard and then stop!

Thing is, you might get realy good on em and love it, but if you went to a club to play where you'd be nervous anyway it'd be really hard gettin' used to the new decks (technics!)...

 

 

I always advise technics!

[Mr_Happy]

it all boils down to if she wants to piss about @ home or wants to be a DJ

Seeing this thread has turned into a technics non technics arguement i'll put in my pennies worth!

I started on crappy soundlabs shite but let me know if i wanted to continue without paying loads of cash!

Upgraded to Technics because there "industry standard"!

Obviousley much better then soundlabs and thought i liked them to i began using vestax decks in my friends record shop! They are the silkiest decks a real pleasure to play with!

Recently at Point blank studios i had the honour of playing around with the numarks and for the price they are actually really nice decks!

To say that using technics is best because they are industry standard is a bit false for me because ive never played on different 1210/s that feel the same as the last!

Ecspecialy when playing out when the technics are dictated in quality by the amount of fag ash and red bull that has been painted with!

So there you go! Try and test decks and see what you like best!

I'm sure i've offended lots of technics lovers but they you go!

Trancebabe: tt100's are pretty nice. Ave em !

 

I haven't got 1210's and I get on alright.

[LiquidEyes]

Technics are not the best.

But they are the industry standard.

 

There's virtually no point getting anything else unless you need the extra features. And that's coming from a guy with Vestax decks (which are technically slightly better).

 

Don't get dodgy cheapo / belt drive decks. You will end up ditching them!
