everyone will swear by technics, ( they are the best) but they come at a cost!!!
i have, and have stuck with for quite a while now,
2 x numark tt pro's ( the slightly older ones, with disgital read out) chrome plated
and a gemini mixer ( cant remember the name, they use it in Trip2 in southampton, its spot on.
the decks were about 800ih new, the mixer is arounf the 120 mark.
i really like numark, but if i had the money i would like new technics!
