A Complete Vinyl DJ Set Up for Under $1200!

Like the clickbaity title?

One of the things that I'm not a fan of with DJing is how cost prohibitive it can be for people. But do you really need $1000 Technics 1200s MK8s? Probably not. Here I look through the internet for some honest to Jebus great budget options that you can learn from and keep for a few years.

It's worth the extra 60$ for a beginner to just get the Concorde from reloop and not have to do a head shell alignment. Get Spinning, fast cut back on the frustration and increase learning. The reloop Concorde is the same cart as the new Concorde 2 just without the redesigned liftarm.

The good thing about this kind of setup is that you can gradually upgrade it as you need to/ can afford to.

JKLOL This is a great video! You are one of the most creative and talented people I know. Oh and definitely one of the most UNDERRATED DJ's around!

Crazy that headphones aren't even considered in new vinyl setups.

I'm on my 4th turntables, 1st were given to me, both different brands probably from the 80's, 2nd Citronics, they broke after a year, sold them towards some technics mk5 ending up selling them due too debt, now have Stanton ST.150 M2 with Ortofon Concorde mix mk2 due to some inheritance money, Technics too expensive as they have doubled in price

I’m looking to get into mixing and this was super helpful. One thing tho do I need an amplifier?

[JDMcHenry]

You’re from Seattle? Same. Ever hear of Selector Records?

[blackarmrecordtalk]

Oh you mentioned living in Seattle. Also you mentioned you’re booking. Does that you mean you give lessons? I live in Bremerton and would love to learn the ropes and wouldn’t mind going into the city. Also you have an x swatch and an American nightmare poster and that’s hard as hell

[blackarmrecordtalk]

Hey thanks for the videos, they’re helpful! You mentioned “Funtasia” are you from the Lynwood Washington area?

[edwardsnowden]

Yeah what about like a hard drive and I think Denon is close to like serato and tractor don't you need that along with the laptop hard drive so you can have music?

[edwardsnowden]

And does or don't those turntables have a anti-skate problem issue

[edwardsnowden]

Doesn't slip mess come with the turntables?

[KenVBrown]

Wouldn't need an external mixer or amp?

[CoachTroyRCA]

But what about a laptop and Serato software? Oh and sales tax homie! LOL
