I had to dj once in sydney australia on the dj ange show..It took me two days to get there and i were only on for one hour..I ended up going back on with my vocalists and recording a trance nation cd exclusively in front of a crowd of pleased ozzies! http://soundcloud.com/dj-ange/isolation039 I am on the first hour of this set..

 
 
 

Tony Wilson: And tonight something equally epoch-making is taking place. See? They're applauding the DJ. Not the music,
not the musician, not the creator, but the medium.
This is it. The birth of rave culture. The beatification of the beat. The dance age. This is the moment when even the white man starts
dancing. Welcome to Manchester.

As a man who grew up in the punk era this quote makes me sad...

And before I get bashed I respect the fact that people have all sorts of different tastes in music etc. and I do understand that there is some significant talent with some DJs. I just view it like disco...awful. I like music made and performed by musicians. Some EDM is interesting to me for brief (one song) periods of time. I also do like dance rock (LCD soundsystem etc.)

sweet. That I can appreciate immensely. What really doesn't appeal to me is a DJ simply spinning records, mixing other peoples music, in a room full of sweaty frat boys fist pumping like madmen...if that makes any sense. Live vocals/instrumentation is different IMO
 
I'm going to go home from work and spin a Specials record...I've been inspired.

http://www.theaudiophile.net/threads/679-Maverick-Audio-Tubemagic-D1 Sounds like it@s a good option for the price and a headphone amp aswell and you can change the tubes which i would do straight away but that's just my opinion..

 
Thanks Martin! I've been thinking about getting to start with., but not convinced 100%. Looks like it sounds great for the money but only does 16/48 (USB) and the DAC chip is not the latest generation, neither to say all the tech, still may sound good, but I would like impressive.
