definately start off wit a pair of stanton's. u pick which model. make sure it's a direct drive. get a good cartridge. you'll be good to go... i love the stanton's. at least for beginner use. Technics are good too, but quite expensive. for that price u can get some vestax. but jea... stanton's are numero uno pick. try this site too....
www.topdjgear.com haven't checked it for a while. but last time i did they had great deals. pz
