NasserAlazzawi you need time to do the vinyl. Time in shops listening. Time at home listening. It’s not a luxury everyone has.

I loved buying when I was a student, now, aligned to cost, seems like I’d need to go part time to invest enough time to justify the outlay.

Chasing that feel digitally requires a lot of discipline, most of us have huge catalogues of tunes we barely, if ever, listen to

NasserAlazzawi thanks for the point about the AZ, I was thinking ‘where has this model come from’.

The RX3 interests me I think, it’s a good price point comparative to my usage.

I’ll deffo get to a shop and have a look at some of this kit.

Test them out - I got rid of my RX and upgraded to the XZ pretty quickly - it’s a little Fisher Price to me - the jog wheels are smaller and only two channels

/wife’s voice: will you behave

Anyone used the AZ yet ? Heard the thing has a nasty habit of turning itself off mid set . Wonder how big of an upgrade it really is vs the XZ

NasserAlazzawi

IndustryStandard

It is miles better than XZ but a few firmware updates ago it had serious issues. Fixed now.

(All new hardware generations tend to do this - this CPU is a generation ahead of CDJ-3000, and before any Denon lovers comment - you should have seen the early Prime 4 / SC5000 releases - it was worse than this!)

Took them a good couple of weeks to fix the problem like. Was uproar in November!

Friend and I DJed a whole night with a pair of Denon SC5000s with nothing but Tidal. It was one of the Sad Boys-gigs, so no beatmixing. It really is terrific piece of hardware for that. No laptop, just straight from the player. Great soundquality too.

IndustryStandard

Homegrove …considering mine now must be 8yrs old , they still feel contemporary and quick . Just a shame most DJs and venues are locked into Pioneer .

I suppose as a newbie to this forum, I could maybe post something about my setup.

So here goes:

3 x Pioneer XDJ 1000 mk2
2 x Technics SL1210 mk2 with new Concorde Digital mk2 carts
1 x Pioneer DDJ XP1
1 x Allen & Heath Xone 96
1 x Xone K2 (for the very rare occasionas I decide to fire up Traktor)

Headphones either Allen & Heath XD2-53’s or HD-25’s

Monitors are Adam Audio T7V’s

Recording either direct from USB into Audacity on desktop, or with my Tascam DR-40X.

I do have a relativley simple streaming setup. Where I can use any combination of a C920, C922 & C930e webcams, and a Sony A6400 SLR camera.

I guess that’s about it…

The dust cap/cone has come off one of my speakers. What glue should I use to refix it back onto it.

NasserAlazzawi

Daring someone to pull the trigger (it even comes with a flight case)

I’ve got access to one and it is delightful

NasserAlazzawi …was tempted for about 5 mins when it came out, glad I didn’t do it tho

Dubman

One of my old wharfedale speakers has finally blown so in the market for some Passive bookshelf speakers price between £2-300 or a decent used set.
Any recommendations

Unbroken1

Dubman …used is always a bit of a risk with speakers. Not owned them, but the QAcoustics passive bookshelfs get amazing reviews, apparently sound amazing and the walnut ones look like much more expensive speakers than they are… in your budget too. I think Richer Sounds carry them if you have one anywhere near you.

mjh …massively depends on your budget, but if you aren’t arsed about them being ‘studio’ speakers, I’d give the active KEFs a listen, and I’d be tempted to give the Klipsch ‘The Sevens/Nines’ a go, solid reviews and look amazing IMO

xs2man

Dubman I can’t express enough my love for Bowers & Wilkins 685 speakers. I have several sets here. Should be within budget second hand, if you can find them locally. Excellent speaker. My PC speakers are actually their smaller brothers, the 686’s and they are excellent.

mjh

I have some Dali Spektor 2. They’re a bit quiet in the bass area, so would need a sub.

What I’d really like is some active non-monitor speakers, so I can do away with the amplifier.

Mad_Cyril

Looking for some foxy wooden ones, slightly retro with black grilles.

Any ideas where to shop?
