My electrical engineering knowledge is not what is should be.
Are there any potential problems powering SL1200s long-term with a step-down transformer (to convert from 100v, for Japanese models)? Is audio quality in any way affected (I ask this cos I know audiophiles are fussy about their power sources)?
Cheers

So I'm still going with this - mainly cos I've been head-down flat-out these past few weeks and haven't had headspace to move it on.
I really appreciate the info and ideas people have posted - many thanks.
But is there one more <interim> option I could consider? I have a DDJ400 controller (did a few community gigs with it before getting back in to vinyl): it has a 'master out', can I not just use that as a media player, putting it through the 'line in' of a Xone 23? This is just to play digital tracks.
Bit bench-space-hungry, not ideal long-term ... but would it work?

So: two turntables, analogue mixer, DJ controller, laptop. For switching between vinyl and digital. Turntables into phono inputs: controller in to line. Controller fed by laptop (I use Rekordbox)

I see pros as:
- I've already got it
- with DVS I'm going to be fiddling with the laptop anyway, and the DDJ has track selection function 
- I can completely control the switching between digital and vinyl on the mixer itself, not having to engage 'thru' mode on Traktor (for eg)

Cons
- not sure really - I assume there are some
- maybe there's a blindingly obvious reason it can't work i've missed because i've not thought it through?!

Cheers

Hi all
Hope this is the right forum - it's not really 'Tips and Tricks' so came here. Would be interested to hear peoples' thoughts and ideas.

I’m an old(er) bloke who likes to play/mix Brazilian, latin, African. World, jazz, etc. I have a decent vinyl collection but also have a lot of tracks on CD and mp3 (some of which I'll never find on vinyl). Home set-up only, live broadcasts etc. Not scratching/producing, and audio quality definitely a bigger priority than bells and whistles.

I’ve got two turntables. I’m looking at my options for adding the capacity to mix/play CDs/mp3 with the vinyl, and need some pointers as to suitable methods/mixers/set-ups.

Option 1: CDJs
Pro - straightforward. Can play both CD and mp3. Just plug in to line in.
Cons - more clutter/extra space. New ones are bloody expensive, probably with way more features than I need. 2nd hand might be an option.
Option 2: DVS
I've researched using DVS as a system, but I absolutely want to be able to seamlessly + immediately switch from 'real' vinyl to timecode vinyl (i.e. mix one with the other; use both decks for both etc). I'm interested in the A&H Xone23c but it seems once the internal mod is done to enable DVS you can't switch to (real) vinyl? Are there equivalent mixers that can switch easily? Or another A&H? Only need 2 channels, btw.
Option 3: DJ controller w/ phono inputs
Pro - convenient, tidy
Con - lose that lovely analogue A&H sound; most of them look awful

Another option is to play straight from a laptop (ie to analogue mixer w/ soundcard), but I really don't want to do that

Any pointers or other options/solutions would be welcome. Apologies if I’m missing something obvious - like I said, mainly a vinyl user (and old lol).

Cheers
