Technics SLDZ1200 vs Pioneer CDJ1000Mk2 - which would you choose?
These 2 players are the same price. From the specs the Technics has more flexibility - it can play wav and mp3 files on a CD, pioneer can't. I had a chance to play with one today and a cdj1000. I also like the feel of the Technics better. It really does feel like a 1200 TT platter. But I've noticed every venue I've been to has standardized on the CDJ1000's.
I think my questions is really 2:
1 - Which do you like better?
2 - Do you think Technics will surpass Pioneer at venues eventually?
CDJ1000 hands down.
Technics should stick to making turntables...
1. Haven't tried the Techs, but I do like the looks of it, but from reviews of the Tech and some videos, I think I would go for the Pioneer, even though it has no MP3 suport, but who cares, why would you wanna play 128k mp3s when you can play Waves.
2. Pioneer is here to stay in the club environment, they have become the standard and will only be replaced with something FAR FAR FAR superior, something with MANY features and has the durability to survive a club life.
after playing w/ the techs the other day i would have to say i would even go with my numark axis9 over that pos!!! BTW, the cdj1000mk2 is here to stay!
the techs suck. i was so unimpressed by them. wow.
I own A Pioneer cdj1000mk2, and a Denon s3000. The Pioneer is far superior to the Denon. I tested out the Technics deck yesterday at Guitar Center and it was ok. I'd rate it above the Denon but below the Pioneer . I definitely can't imagine that deck replacing Pioneer's in big clubs.
pioneer or denon. No techs here for me @ all
pioneer for president!
if you want the industry standard - get the pioneers
if you want alot of fancy features - get the denons
if you want true vinyl feel - get the numark cdx
if you want a toy - get the technics...
Here's a great video comparing the 3
Technics vs Denon vs Pioneer head to head video
Wait till you hear what the techs sounds like.... It really sounds like a toy cd player you would pay $100.00 for. If you plan on doing any scratching at all, stay away from the techs.
One other thing is the top platter of the techs feels like a piece of laminated paper... no durability at all. The guy at Guitar Center tell me it's replaceable!!! For $1200.00 I shouldn't ahve to replace anything on my cd player.

i estimated there was no way Techs could beat out Pioneer in there first shot. better luck next time, cuz Pio's are still too damn strong.
omg those technics do sound a bit shit, but i reckon they might be ok if ur not scratching

crap, even the axis8/9 sounds better than the dz1200. They need to do something like redesign the dz1200 and release the dz1200mk2 or something.

let techs stick to decks and pioneer rock the cds

i would agree that if you are scratching the dz1200 is doody... but for the the mixer who is used to the 1200 feel and just wants to occasionally drop a cd its not bad at all.

Bloody Hell!
I honestly didn't think I'd see this many bad reviews of the Technics CD Deck. I thought it would blow the Pioneer away but obviously not.
Personally i think the concept for the DZ1200 is a good one, the only other manufacturer to attempt it is numark, but all in all for the next few years anyway i think Pioneer will be the all-mighty of CD mixers.
I havnt tried the DZ1200's yet either, it has so many mixed reviews its hard to tell until i try it but give it time and even Pioneer will be tyring the concept IMO.
when someone finally gets it right, wether it be Technics, Pioneer or any other manufacturer then we will see the demise of vinyl... sad but true.
I Saw this movie a few days ago, damn these Techs suck...
But from what I've heard, the Denon sounds more realistic in scratching than the Pioneer...
