What to get next (setup)

Hey all.

It feels like it's time for me to get some new gear for my setup. I know I could save, but I wanna get something . My current gear is all in good condition and does not need replacing, which leads me to the below items:-

Kaos Pad KP-2.
Allan and Heath XONE:62/64 Mixer.
Pioneer CDJ1000
MP3J (or whatever they're called - mp3 cdj).

What would you get??? If you'd get something other then the above feel free to suggest that too.

Thanks for your time.

pioneer cdj-1000<---the ultimate in cd decks. Sad thing is they'll cost you a grand!

If work buys me a laptop I'll get this, but otherwise I'm looking @ a total cost for all of the above equipment; or Final Scratch


Evan= the AU $ is worth 1/2 as much as the USD making it cost 2x as much :P OMG!

So no one else recommends anything other then the CDJ? (if not it's blatenly obvious what I should get )

Get the A&H Xone:62. Have that paired up with my TTX1s and a tech 12 and I can't live without that mixer. It's the best mixer I've ever used. Get it!


Posted by futurevision on Sep-05-2003 03:20:

i would get the alien and health!

but if you mixer is decent
stick with it

cdj is kool too lots of fun hehe

i'd go for the Denon s5000

the denon's are less that $1000 bones at www.123dj.com

now i can't talk for the technic's i hear they are ungodly expensive so they may be at $3k.

i'd wait tho, see what the technic's debut at and how good they are.

if i had the choice between pioneer cdj1000 and denon s5000's id go with denon. the tables are just as nice to spin CDs on, they have almost identicle feels (they are cheaper) and the Denon's let you do more effects. altho i think the pioneers are easier to use and are more common at clubs.

Definitely go with the CDJ-1000.

Definitely go with the CDJ1000. I recently bought a Denon S5000, and took it back, to get the cdj. The S5000 is a cool machine, and it's a great turntable immitator, but as a staright up CD player, i think it sucks. It's not easy to use, the instant start is not instantaneous in the slightest, and in all honestly, who the hell wants a cd turntable. The whole idea of a moving platter seems kind of corny to me. It's a neat toy, but if you want a serious cd player, go with teh Pioneer.
