Hey folks. Since my mate took his decks back, A fire has awoken in me and i’ve proper got back into mixing (On my crappy belt’s that it!) 😉

I’m thinking now that i should really invest in my own pair, seeing as the belts are knackered. Now i don’t want expensive ones and will probably only spend a couple hundred quid on em. I’m thinking of getting some T60 stantons as they look quite decent. Does anyone know if these are worth purchasing!?! Any help would be appreciated! :love:

Hello mate, Yeah i’m only after cheap directs. I figure I’ve got 6months left till Navy training, so no point in buying well dear ones! Unless i can take em with me but that’s very doubtful! 😉

The best cheap ones are the citronic PD-1s. They shit on gemini or even higher range numarks. Very similar feel to the technics and same setup.

My mate swears by them and he’s used the same set for years.

Nice one Mr El, Exactly same price as the ones i was looking at. They look better as well! I may actually buy these. I’m gonna have to buy one deck in July then the other deck in august!! Was gonna save up but with my track record that ain’t gonna happen! :laugh_at:

Have a pal who got a pair of 1210’s on ebay for £250 (it included a mixer, an amp and a set of speakers, as well as a bunch of very cheesy house tunes too :weee: )

Worth taking your time and getting a good deal on some decent decks – I can send you the 1200/1210 service manual too if you need it (you can get some right good deals on ones that need servicing, and it’s not very difficult to do 😉 ).
