Depends if you want a good sound, or a compressed sound... ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
But it's probably ok for those who've never heard, or couldn't tell, the difference

LOL @ the beer shelf. Although my intentions always were to fabricate something where i could fit my macbook and vci-300 above the turntables to tidy it all up abit, but then i sat down.
Will tidy it up eventually but for now i'd rather just play on my xbox

[QUOTE=unclebuck;8959677]All this 2 record/cd decks and a mixer malarky is sooo last century... ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
This is what today's DJs are using to mix with (including me)![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

real dj's, use real decks.
1210's are the industry standard vinyl platform
cdj 1000's are the industry standard cd platform
how many clubs do you go to and find just a laptop stand for dj's to play out on?

I'm not too keen on the CDJ1000s, but never really used them for prolonged periods for practise. Totally different feel to my Denons. when monies better perhaps
![Norty](images/smilies/norty.gif)
I've had a go on virtual DJ at a mates house which was quite fun actually. But it takes some of the fun out, like beat matching, cueing etc. But then it frees up time to add all sorts in like loops, sound FX, accepella's etc, etc.
For now I'm good with CDJ's.

That's a nice bunch of kit! Interesting mix of boxes. I fantasise that I will find a bargain NAP500 or 552 on ebay but it is just too much.

Mine is a bit more of your classic 90s Naim active system. I will eventually upgrade the CD and pre, but will never part with the 135s. Loved the sound of those from the first time I ever heard them - fantastic.

Having said that, while we're on turntable talk, my Roksan Xerxes 1000 Anniversary still knocks spots off the Levinson. There's something about vinyl that they've never been able to re-create on the little silver disc. And as for MP3 etc, well, the less said the better.

Telboy........ man of mystery ...... who is he ??? is he someone in the city ????
Well seeing your HiFi set up it is very impressive
however looking at your doors and door handles do you live in a Barrett house ????
just like our old Barrett house back in Blighty..........

I didn't realise door snobbery existed
![Lol1](images/smilies/lol1.gif)
But no, i think Mr Barrett's standards are somewhat lower than the nice Mr Builder who knocked up my little hovel, but i'll pass on your comments about my solid wood doors to him, just in case he cares...

Hi-fi is one of those hobbies that comes and goes. At the moment i'm uusing it a lot, but there's been months where it's hardly got a look-in. Just depends what else is going on.

Well said that man. When I tell people I prefer the sound of vinyl they laugh at me and think I'm an idiot and as for iPods etc. being mentioned in the same breath as high quality sources like CD and vinyl.... well LOL!

Do you remember a turntable called The Source, that was pretty damn good too.
