Hey bud.Thanks for the welcome.. I was looking at spending around 1k to 1.5k was hoping that would be enough to get me something to at least make a start you know. As for whether i will go cd players or turntables iam not really sure? not really intrested in software based stuff. As for the type of music iam into... Iam really into dubstep,dnb,Progressive,house etc so yeah more dance stuff over hip hop.. I have been reading up on the Pioneer DJM 400 and only heard good things.As you mentioned for the type of music iam into i will probably be better off going cd players over turntables. What would recomend along the lines of cd players? As you can tell iam really new to all this,unfortunatley i dont know anyone whos into it that i can talk to. Thanks for the info on headphones too, i will look into the ones you suggested and see if the budget will allow
