What styli/cartredges would anyone recommend to someone who is buying a pair of his first tables?
Also, what in the HECK are "pitched" turntables?
*EDIT*
Also, if I wanted to name myself "DJ Friar" and there already is a "DJ Friar Tuck", do you think this is acceptable?

as far as cartridges go, unless you want to drop some serious cash on otofon's...i'd say go with the shure M44G these sound great and work excelent to mix as well as to scratch with.
As far as "pitched turntables" - I think you are refering to the +/- 10% on most decks. This is used to beat match to records, so you get them locked in on the same bpm, otherwise you would be limited to only playing records that were the exact same bpm together.
I hope I've been of some help.

matt's wrong about pitched decks.
if a deck is pitched,it has been modified. most decks go to +/- 8 but some go to 10. if a deck is pitched it has been adjusted inside so that it can go higher,eg on 1210's these can be pitched to +16 instead of +8.
my advice,don't pitch your decks till the warranty runs out coz this affects the warranty and if your decks fry,you've had it

Any advice on the DJ name yet?

*EDIT*
Also, do cartridges come with styli? or do I have to order those separate too?

Cartridges come with stylii but when they wear out instead of needing to buy whole new cartridges you can just buy replacement stylii.

Lixx, you don't know WHAT a help you've been on my conquest to become a DJ. But, in spite of what everyone has told me, I have but one more question:
Do I go with the Vestax PMC-03A mixer
or
Do I go with the Gemini PS-626PRO 2 mixer?
-Friar. (Still waiting for an answer to that DJ Friar question)

I don't have any experience with the Vestax one, but Vestax's higher range mixers are really nice. The gemini is a great budget mixer, 3 channels with eq's and a nice loud headphone circuit for under $120. I like it, and I know DJ Mouse likes his as well. Faders are holding up perfectly in the six months I've had it so I'd recommend it for sure.
-Lixx
PS: I don't see a problem with the name, especially if the guy doesn't spin hardcore.

Nice...Lixx, you are the MOST HELPFUL online person I've ever met. You and DJ Mouse should both be commended for your "customer service" of sorts.
Thank you both for your help. I hope the future smiles brightly upon your kind soul.
(Don't know where that came from...)
