| this is a great setup for beginners, i like them alot, but i think once u use them alot, u realize they could u use better slip mats and needles. so i have changed the needles to the numark Numark CS-1 Carl Cox Signature Model Stylus. i love them, amazon sells it for like $45. there great. but otherwise these are great turntables, and the mixer is alright, after a while i would get a better mixer. but i really like this product, i would recommend to get better needles. And thats all! |

| I only had these for about a year and they slowly started slowing down. There's no belt, and the amount it would take to get new turntables would be ridiculous. All in all, they worked fine for a while, but I would recommend a different brand or spending a little more for something a little better. |

| From a beginner's perspective, this is a great place to start learning how to walk through all the fundamentals of DJing. I am notorious for buying stuff that ends up sitting on the shelf collecting dust. So this small investment of $350 will help determine if I'm really cut out for DJing. Those videos online make it look like a piece of cake, but trust me, there is a good reason why everyone is not a DJ. I am primarily using this setup as a way to learn how to scratch. The turntables handle very well, but my only gripe is that the crossfader isn't adjustable. Forget practicing the crab scratch or transforming. The crossfader needs to move about a full cm before getting to full volume, versus a better crossfader that would only need to move 1 mm to achieve full volume. However, there are so many other scratches that can be learned first, its not that big of a deal yet. After mastering the fundamentals, buying a new crossfader will be next on my list. Eventually, will need to replace the turntables with technics and will be buying Serato ... but that's ONLY if I can stick with this new hobby. Only time will tell. |

| I Bought them, and I use them just to mix songs. They sound great. I can't say anything about scratching, since I don't do that, but for general use and song mixing, they sound outstanding. I would buy a different mixer though, since the one that comes with it leaves something to be desired. |

| I got this for my birthday and it's almost as if I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm no expert but I really can't see how this stuff is not as good as equipment hundrends of dollars more expensive. I can spin my bloody jungle, put down some great mixes and even scratch some with this gear. I'm so freakin happy with it. I'm telling you, if you're even thinking about getting this package, DO, NOW!! You'll thank yourself after it comes. WOOT!! |

| For $330, this setup isn't all that great of a deal. I will say that this is an excellent set up for beginners and "dj's" that just spin records at parties, but a serious performance or production dj will be frustrated with needle skipping while scratching, blending, mixing, etc. Its not awful, but shell out $200 more bucks and have a better setup. Also for $180 you can get Ions complete dj kit, sure they are belt drive turntables, but you save over $100 and get a mic. All in all the set up is not bad, the mixer is actually of high quality, but when numark doesn't offer replacement parts off of their website(yes, you will need to replace these groove tool needles) and if your pressed for cash, you can get near the same quality for far cheaper. But if you are just starting out and want a good set up for under $500, this is a sure bet. |
