Thats brilliant advice Jay, thanks very much, especially the advice on taking your own needles and a back up bag of vinyl (i wouldnt have thought of that haha!) :)
Just to clarify though, when setting up, if all the faders were down on the mixer would it stop everything going bang or doesnt it matter? I would be a bit nervous (like you say) when dealing with a big, loud, system! :lol:
PS
Baz, I was only messing mate, I actually bought one of your tracks from trackitdown the other day :)
