Hey everyone,
To cut a long story short, I am looking to add a little scratching into my DJ set as I am starting to do more and more RnB/HipHop gigs.
I just want to start small just in case it does not work out.
I am looking to have my Traktor S2 running on one channel on the mixer and the CDJ on the other channel.
Without investing a huge sum of cash just yet, I have narrowed it down to CDJs with the plan to move to a DVS setup in the future if it works out.
Prices are over the top in New Zealand, but my options at this moment are:
1 second hand Stanton C324 = $250
2 Second hand Denon 3500s = $500
1 CDJ 800 second hand = $500
1 Brand new Denon 3500 with 2 year warranty = $800
1 Numark V7 brand new with 1 year warranty = $1000
I like the sound of spinning platters on the 3500s but second hand worries although I get two, and I can practise on them immediately without going down the DVS route.
Pricewise the Stanton seems good as well for the price, if I dont like it its only $250 down the drain.
The Numark V7 is the one I really want, good reviews and a close feel to vinyl but freaking expensive.
Im moving towards the Denons I think, any advice??
Thanks
