£2000 to spend on TT's, mixer, sound card etc. What would you buy?

How come you are selling? What you upgrading to? (Just out of interest)

Having a play on some isn't that easy, as there are very few dj shops near me that stock both

I'm not upgrading - I bought 4 1210's specifically to refurbish, modify and sell.

More than happy with my original 1200 MKII's.

Do you guys use SSL or TSP? Anyone use both and have a preference?

I use both, Serato Intro, Itch, (DJ) and SSL plus Traktor Scratch Pro 2. I like the matching waveforms on Serato, but the effects are much better on Traktor. Traktor is also alot better to midi map. But DJ'ing is about the music, not the software or hardware. Whatever you buy, just do not get the SL1.

Thanks everyone, at the moment I am thinking Tech MK2's and the Z2. I am a bit of an NI fanboy, but only because they have never let me down, and reckon it would go well with my F1 and X1. Just need to find some really good condition black techs that have been fully serviced etc.

I suggest

2 /3 x Technics
1 x Denon DNX1600 (Traktor cert soundcard built in)
Traktor

Of course I'm running the above so my judgement is clouded but it's a great setup.

I change my mind every 30 minutes what TT i want, but to be honest, I think with the Stantons or technics I won't go wrong.

If I can find a mint pair of black techs (maybe M5g) I will get them, if not then 150's. If i was buying and selling in a few years time I would get the techs in a heartbeat, but I want to keep these for life.

Just an update incase anyone happened to care a little.

I went for some custom 1210 mk2s with a few upgrades. Black with white platter and white on tone arm mech.
Traktor Z2.
Shure M44-7.

Thanks very much for your advice and help. So excited for these to get here.
