Hello, I'm just about to buy a mixtable and cd players, but I need some advice!

http://www.djkit.co.uk/acatalog/cdn22packages.html
390€

http://www.synopsis-media.de/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1341
250€

my budget is only 700€
Do these cd-players have direct play? I'm going to mix 4/4 kicks at 145 BPM so it must be pretty accurate!
And is this a good mixtable? The tones must be as silent as possible when they are killed

it's for home use only so it doesn't have to be fine quality stuff, don't put your standards too high pls!

thx in advance

woops, my wrong

numark axis4 or cdn22 then to fit the budget, or one of the cheaper american dj models. Not my favourites, but those are quiet a bit more expensive.

Anyone have any experiences with this new brand koolsound? Telling from the price and the style of promo it's probably crap, but I haven't tried anything of it yet.

anyone got some expierience with the DAP Audio Argon mixer?
it's got three channels, each with three band eq and VCA faders. Crosfader is an optical with adjustable slope. And above all that it has got send-return function on every channel, so you can attach an external fx loop..

all this for around 250€ new..

but DAP audio is not really a well known name for mixers, and it all sounds a bit too good to be true tbh... Roll Eyes

I don't have any first hands experience with that mixer, but in general DAP is not really known as a high quality brand.

exaclty what i was thinking too..and the kills for the eq's on channel 1 & 3 are placed very weird imo, next to the x-fader? makes you lose all the advantage of a optical x-fader which should be able to have some good scratching on..

while we're busy bout DAP Audio, has anyone got experiences with their Pallidium amps? I'm planning to buy a P-500 or P-700..but is it a wise choise, is fe a American Audio V-1001 a better choise or not? (but the thing is i maybe could get dap stuff at 'groothandelsprijs' and american audio not)

Brands like dap, jbsystems etc often "copy" the layout of well-known brands. It's quite clear to me that this one is a copy of the vestax VMC/PMC275, wich also has the kill switches on that location. I'm afraid the circuitry is nowhere near vestax quality though.
I can't really give you well-founded advice about the amps.
