Cheap deck and mixer ive been offered, thoughts please!

[Mr Moo]

- 2x Soundlab DLP3's, direct drive

 

- C/W stanton 505's but the lids are cracked and without hinges.

 

- Soundlab DSM5 mixer.

 

I dont want this, get 1210s bollox.

 

These are being sold for a price i can afford.

 

Im not bothered about wanting to play out in a few years time, i just want sumin to do with my spare time.

 

What are these like? And with the information i gave you (which i dont understand about the Stanton bit) can sum1 explain plz.

DLP'S have always been shite, personally i wouldn't buy a soundlab deck for any price!

 

If you cant afford Technics/Vestax then i'd suggest Numark Moo

[Mr Moo]

Ok, what if i told you ive been offered £80 ono for the whole lot.

 

What the [censored] are Stanton thingys?

[Wonky]

I wasnt spouting, just pointing out a fact.

 

At the end of the day DLP's are shite (IMO), anything but should suffice, buy what you can afford

 

I guess my view is biased cos i started with Technics

i started out on a pair of Sony belt drives with no pitch control, so the DLP's beat that IMO, so go for it! At the end of the day, if you can mix on them, you can mix on anything

Thankyou Nick!

 

At last, a constructive comment

my friend has a pair of soundlabs decks - not sure what model but she seems to get on with them fine - she jsut like you - jsut wants something to do in her spare time.

 

i'd get them and see how you get on with um - if you dont like mixing then its hardly a bigloss in the pocket as apose to the best - or if you decide you like it and want to get better ones then wahey
