Thanks for the comment! The advanced HID doesn’t work with the 850’s, only the 900’s and 2000’s. Not sure about the 400’s.
Crane stands as CDJ stands is either overkill or ballin’
I can’t decide wich.
Lets go with ballin 
I like em! Got one Crane stand from CL for $70 and already had one for my Laptop. Once I build custom stands or cough up money for them odyssey ones my laptop will be laying low.

Finally found some time to take shots of the setup.
Heres what has been Updated/changed from the last pics:
- Painted the face plates for my Technics flat black
- Added Purple LEDS to both Technics. Used Solderless kits from Tech Transplant. ( Fun install! )
- Internally grounded both TT’s and fixed pitch issue with one of them ( VIPERFRANK on Youtube is the S**T )
- Went with the clear control vinyl and I think it looks dope!
- Replaced the DJM400 with a DJM800
- Added a MFPRO ( Thanks to Coldfuzion! )
- Got rid of the CDJ850’s ( no HID w/ Traktor
) - Put my trusty 1000MK3 back to work
- Replaced the MAUDIO Monitors with Mackie MR2’s
- Found a cool case for my needles
- IRONMAN is awesome!
(MK4 SUIT)
Thinking about adding a KRK10S subwoofer to the get up this weekend. Placement may be an issue. Now that I think of it… i’m not really sure how to hook it up to my current monitors
sweeet setup man!!!
What are those white head shells you’re using?
The one in the case is just a technics head shell painted white. Can’t re,ember where I got it from. The one on my TT in the pic is a Concorde pro.

Setup with the new Kontrol Z2 replacing the DJM800. Other than the MidiFighter, I’ve always used Pioneer’s effects. It is definitely taking some time getting used to the Traktor internal effects. 
Anyone else ever make this transfer?
I tried doing this transfer and just couldn’t get used to Traktor’s effects for me. I’m more comfortable creating tension and sweeps using the Pioneer effects than Traktor…
Could you take another photo of you newer setup, but showing how close to the edge your Techs are, and exactly how close your X1 & F1 are to your Z2? The reason I ask, is because I have been considering this exact same hardware configuration, and at the same time, have been considering getting a (single) Expedit Shelf to put it all on. If you are willing, I would appreciate it.
Here you go! The Expedit was pretty much made for this setup
When I had my DJM800 (4 Ch.12" Mixer) the TT’s were about 1/2 inch off the edges. With the Z2 its perfect! Slap a Vika Amon on the top if you want to set up your TT’s in the battle position. Sorry for the poor quality iPhone pics and hope this helps.
What vinyls are those?
Slow Roasted Superseal Double LP. One side breaks/samples, other sides are Traktor MK2 control tone. Awesome for the Z2 when switching it up from internal to external on the fly. They still have some left here http://www.thudrumble.com/product/trak002yb.html
Thanks, that helped a lot 
Everything appears to fit snug…perfect, in fact.
Awesome. Would love to see pics of your setup!
I’ll definitely post 'em when I get it all…right now I have (2) M5Gs/Numark NS6, and that’s it.
Before I bought the NS6, I had a Korg Zero4/the (2) M5gs/Rane SL3/and a Pioneer CDJ-400.
I still have the SL3, and CDJ-400, but due to space, the CDJ-400 is put up in the closet.
I have an old pic of what it used to look like before I bought my MBP…haha, back when I had the Dell.
Looks really awesome
diggin the layout of your setup!! Wish I had the money and time to build something along the lines of this!
Really nice setup mate! how are you liking the z2?
The transition from Pioneer’s DJM effects to Traktor’s internal effects was a little hard at first. After jamming with some buddies and experimenting, I am now just getting use to it all and pretty much lovin it! The Z2 is a solid all around 2 ch mixer, just not quite sure if it is a club quality mixer like the Pios and A&Hs. Which I don’t really care about since my setup never leaves my room.
I do miss that damn blinking orange button on the Djm’s though…
