This deck tracks like a champ, even up on it's side! You could be spinning in the 1994 quake that interupted that baseball game, and it wouldn't skip!

I am not disputing your superior knowledge so don't get me wrong here,but the bloke wants to learn,experiment and see if he can develop a serious interest in DJing,not spend a s##tload of cash on 4 sets of decks,a 4 channel mixer and a tracking and torque system that can withstand the power of an earthquake he is going to have to spend quite a bit of money.Which would be wasted if he lost interest in a few months.
Hey BB? Where in the world are you? If you are in the UK there is "DJ Magazine"(among others)which will give you pages and pages of shop advertisemts with all types of pre made set ups including beginner packages at rock bottom prices all the way up to full blown nightclub sound systems,you should have a look,the articles are always crap and the reveiws are bull,but the ads are what you should you be looking for!

But he wouldn't really have to risk too much. The resale value on them is very high.
and if you notice, it says "deejay", not "disc jockey", I think that implies certain things.

say, has anyone tried that "digital turntable" from Pioneer? i toyed with it once at a shop and must say i was impressed. turntable like action, you can press into the top plate to slow the record down, like you would on a regular turntable. etc etc. really responsive.
bloody expensive too... you could get two 1210´s for the money.

even Spiderman said that for mixing purposes he'd go with the PDX2000 over the 1200's and was planning on upgrading to them. Look Cella has a pair and they are the shot! They aren't made like shit, on the contrary, the seemed very solid to me. You'll see when you get back!

If you are stacked with cd's then there you are. I use the pioneers and they are good (the new ones looked super good - before I had to stop playing for fear of wnating too much - bit big though). Notice the pioneers (CDJ 500) need new lazers every couple of years and that is serious money, worth thinking about if you go second hand. I really rate the Pioneer mixer DRM 600, the new version has 4 line/phono ins and can reliably get you round more than a few corners.
If you are not stacked with CD's then (without a jot of experience) I would say go MP3, traktor and a laptop. I will go there when MPn is good enough quality and harddrives can hold me whole collection. Saves all that lifting.
I think getting the tune is the hardest bit for beginners so if MPn is good enough and control can be made to happen then go lappy

i wont even mention x-fader cutting, chopping up breaks, doing spinbacks, and especially scratching... unless maybe with final scratch setup o/c.
