The turntables look fine. I would also recommend the T80 stanton decks aswell but either are good. They are only a tenner more each. But if you want the ultimate ignore Technics and go for the Numark TTX1 as it has everything but it is expensive though. That look like a good mixer but may suffer on build quality and the FX are supposed to be poor. I would recommend the Numark DXM09 mixer which is three channel and has amazing FX and kill switches. It is cheaper aswell. The CFX 30 is an interesting choice. If you want a Cd deck for extra effects it is perfect in that kind of price range but if you want to try out mixing with Cd’s I would recommend maybe a Citronic S6 or a Numark CDX. If money if no object you may want to look at some of pioneer’s decks, they have no FX but if your mixer has FX anyway they are brilliant as they are industry standard and amazing to use. The cartridge looks fine. I don’t though whether u can use it with Gemini but it should work. You also need good quality headphones, Denon and Sennheiser (£40-£150) are very good but a bit expensive for beginners. Since you are a beginner Behringer or Numark (£10-£40) would do. A microphone is fun to use and for a beginner mic you can pick up a good one for a tenner. Although u don’t need one u may also want an FX unit though these are expensive. If you do get one go for Korg or Pioneer, they are industry standard. If you go for this make sure that your mixer has a Send/Return feature. If you go for the Numark mixer it has built in FX but has no Send/Return (not that u wud need it). Most mixer over £100 will have Send/Return and they MUST MUST have atleast 3 channels. Vestax and Stanton are good makes of mixers. Also you need speakers/amps. the Kam Soundpack 2 is perfect as it has everything you need for under £100. If you are willing to spend more go for their more expensive models which can plays songs off a USB aswell.
Hope you enjoy your deck as what you are looking to but is brilliant for a beginner (maybe not the mixer) and also means that you won’t need to upgrade.
