Pretty self-explanatory, really.
I stopped by B&H today to check out a new camera, and got drawn into the Pro Audio department. I subsequently spent two hours being mesmerized by and fiddling with a turntable set-up they had out on the floor. It is such glorious fun oh god.
The thing is, the little money I have at the moment is being invested in a new DSLR and making music. I can't afford a brand-new set-up in any way. However, I just discovered that a friend of mine, who has a massive boner for good music, has a single Technics SL-1200 MK2. That means that between the two of us, we have two identical turntables (I inherited the same make and model from my audiophile father), no mixer, enough classical music on vinyl to bury a man in (also from my father), a few of my own records (psychedelic rock, trip hop, punk), and a ton of his 60s and 70s rock.
Would it be worth splitting the cost of a mixer and winging it? How would we go about doing this? Any and all advice is appreciated.
Might as well make this the catchall gear thread too. Post yours, drool over other people's, you know the drill.
