    Hey guys thank you all for the comments they are much appreciated. I have been doing some extensive research over this past week and think I have settled on a decision for those that actually care.

    I have pretty much decided to ignore your advice with regards to controllers and settled on the Denon SC2900’s which fortunately for me have just had a sizeable price reduction. My thinking is that they are a full hybrid option that will allow me to get used to using older style CDJs whilst still allowing me to progress my skills further with software options once I feel comfortable with them.

    I have read several reviews on lots of different options and I really think these are the way to go for me. Many make them comparable to the Nexus 2000’s – I realise this is probably a stretch but for my budget they are probably the best of the rest and have way more features than the entry level Pioneers.

    Would be good to hear your thoughts on my choice or if any of you have had any experience using the 2900’s?

    Once again thanks for the feedback.

    Hey guys thanks for the feedback it is appreciated. The responses clearly highlight my conundrum with regards to what is the best set up to get as a beginner. I don’t know why but I am still just slightly leaning towards getting some CDJ’s just so that I learn from the bottom up if you know what I mean. Although I am by no means decided. Think I need to go into a shop and have a play with the different options, see what suits me best.

    Was thinking that it would be easier for me to transition from the Gemini 700s as they are basically a cheaper carbon copy of the pioneers which means switching over in future might not be such a problem. I take the point that controllers are the future though which is definitely why I am hesitant before taking the plunge. A few of my friends have advised me that controllers are not the way to go but it is probably because they have all learnt on CDJs / Vinyl.

    I have read a lot of forums basically slating everything except Pioneers and maybe some Denon’s but as a beginner set up I just don’t know if I can justify the £1500 price tag of the pro rigs. If I was going to go down controller or CDJ route can either of you recommend a set up that would suit the price tag quoted above?
