Neil Johnson 2001 DJ Guide - What to buy

Starting out, What do you buy?

It is probably the most difficult decision you will have to make if you want to start your career as a DJ. Do you go for technics?, Belt Drive or Direct Drive? What about Vestax?

The most obvious pieces of equipment that you need are

Turntables with carts and stylus, Mixer, Headphones, Speakers, Amp

It is obvious that I have not used every deck or mixer on the market but I have tried to include as much information on products that are similar to what I have and do use at the moment (if that makes sense).
