1000$ Budget for buying DJ equipment this Xmas.

[dickman69]

Plus vinyl sounds like shit.

That's right. I said it.

LOL maybe if you have a scratched record. You sound incredibly ignorant saying that. haha

OK........

Vinyl is far inferior in terms because with digital recordings you can get a much "purer( im not sure of that's a actual word but you fuckers understand what im trying to convey)" representation of what the original sound source is supposed to sound like. Using a needle cartage on a piece of vinyl causes friction. In that friction there is distortion. Please dont make me elaborate further.

fuck off pls

You COULD hold on to those 1000 bucks until you find a good deal on a set of 1200s+mixer (lots of people sell those in bunches, second hand, could probably get those for 400 - 500) and get a second hand CDJ-1000 Mk3.

But you're a lot more enthusiastic about CDJs, so maybe just get a set of second hand MK3s. There's no right and wrong in this, regardless of what the dinosaurs are trying to tell you. It's a lot of money, man, and it's always best spent on something that your heart is into 100%, which doesn't seem to be vinyl.

...but do you already have speakers and headphones? Hi-fi speakers will do just fine, you really don't need monitors for that. But decent isolating headphones are a good idea.

I have some decent headphones, they block out the sound pretty good and I think they'll do fine until I upgrade. And yeah I think my heart is set onto CDJ's, but everyone seems to be selling CDJ-1000 Mk3 at ~1050$ for just a pair, without the mixer.
I've just been looking on Ebay and I live in Ontario, Canada - any other places I should be looking? (Craig's list looks like sketchy tbh)

ignorance at its best haha

should be in the unpopular opinions thread.

don't rule out the CDJ 800 mk2

it's pretty damn close to the 1000 mk3 and you can find a pair for about 800 us pretty easily on the bay. then you might have to borrow an extra 50 dollars to get a used rane ttm 56 or Allen and Heath xone 22.

Don't really know where to get shit over there. But honestly, just hold on to the cash until you have another 200/250 bucks and just get those mk3s and a good 2-channel mixer. You'll regret shelling out this much cash on something you don't reeaaallly want. And when it comes to 1000 dollars, another 200 isn't that much

I would've went to a strip club.
