Time For a Upgrade to REAL Gear :)

[Mitch]

i agree with jaz.

For the full size platter decks, they rank like this (IMO) : 2000s > 900s > 850s > 1000s > 800s

[Jaz]

+1 ^

pioneer purposely do this

[Mattye]

Yeh. Still not set on the 1000's.

has anyone bought from the states?? theres a few decent buys on ebay

[mattus123]

ive got 1000s and can vouch for them

but yea mitch is right, if u can get ur hands on 850's instead go for that

as for small platter vs big platter, ive used a small platter on a mates denons before, and it jsut felt WEIRD

big platter > small platter hands down i recon

jsut did a quick ebay search, and it looks like ur not gonna get 850s much cheaper than 1700 (which blows ur budget without even tihnking bout the mixer)

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DJM800-CDJ10 ... 3a6a45976c

i did see that though, itll obviously go up, but itd be worth having a crack at that

[Mattye]

yeh just keeping my eye out at the mo. wont properly start looking till i get my tax back.

Tbh im slowly swaying towards 850's. even though its gona blow my budget...lol

[Jaz]

if your budget is tight i say go with average CDJ's for now but with a good mixer, DJM700 or 800, then get the good CDJ's later

Because good CDJ's and a shocking mixer will probly benefit you less as your just starting out on CDJ's and only need the basics that 400's could easily provide you dude

its a hard decision though i know lol...while your waiting/saving just check ebay and gumtree and forums everyday waiting for an awesome deal...thats how i scored all my stuff cheap

[Mattye]

Yeh thats the thing. I dont want to buy something only wanting to upgrade in 6/12 months. Think ill spend a bit extra and get 850's and maybe just a 400 mixer

[Jaz]

good choice

[Gandy]

get a 350 mixer for the record function!!

[Suby]

I agree with gandy, the record feature is one of the best things about the 350 mixer

[Mattye]

I didnt even think of the 350 mixer......wonder what the chances of getting one separate are though

[Mitch]

there is a couple going on ebay right now man, you should pick one up easily enough. 850s are whats harder to find, im on the hunt atm as well haha
