Alright i have been reading many many set up posts and remember i have only been a DJ a little while, but now i just want some feedback on mine now... i have:
2 x Stanton T.60s (turntables)
1 x Pioneer DJM 400 (Mixer)
1 x Stanton C313 (thinking of selling and saving up for 2 CDJ 400s)
1 x Crappy old PC (updating hopefully soon in the next year or 2 lol)
1 x Stanton M.201 Mixer
So yeh not the best, but I got it all for around for $1700 (Aus) except the pc, was given it hehe any feedback would be great, i also have over 30 or 40 hardcore records and just started a CD folder + I dont have much money because I am trying to get a better sound system =]

I've owned a T.60 before. Not exactly the greatest turntable for mixing, but if you are starting out I'm sure you can learn on it and eventually move up. Look out for some used Stanton STR8-80s or STR8-100s. You can usually find them for dirt cheap, and they are super solid decks.
I've heard real mixed things about the DJM-400, some saying that it only gets its price and value from the Pioneer tag. I personally have never used it, but I can't imagine a Pioneer mixing being THAT terrible.
The Cxxx series from Stanton is absolutely terrible imo. Stanton uses very low quality parts that give out in little time, and reselling is almost out of the question since there is NO demand for Stanton CD decks. If you are a beginner then again, I'm sure you can learn on it, but you are definitely going to have to upgrade down the line. Definitely save up for some used CDJ-400s. I currently spin with them and imo they are the best decks on the market.
I've never used the M.201, but if its anywhere near the quality of the SMX-401 I have from Stanton, it is probably a solid mixer.
Not bad for a beginner setup, but those cd/vinyl decks are going to have to be replaced eventually.

lol you've got your priorities backwards...you're supposed to spend more on the turntables than the mixer

but hey the djm 400 is alright i think  big step up from the stanton mixer + i did get it cheap before all the economy crap happened and pioneer raised all its prices, but yeh I'll see if i can sell all of it... or keep it, pretty sure i wont do that "Bin it!" suggestion lol
but still thanks for the feedback ^_^

when you're starting out most people usually don't know what they want out of a mixer. hence you should buy better turntables first.
