The OFFICIAL DJ CD player POLL

K, I am making a poll of the 3 "heavyweight" DJ CD players that are on the market right now. I know some of you are going to say that I missed out the Numark CDX... but that deck isn't common yet. So please vote the three choices I provided.

well the sl-dz1200 isn't common either.

Numark CDX.....

Sorry but it is the one I'd buy. Then probebly the Denton or maybe the Pioneer (I'd actually just get the 800's, no need for that cue point memory stuff I recon ).

But I plain flat out would never buy the Technics, saw that vid where they scratched emm with key lock on.

Yea I'd go for the CDX too, but after that, the DN S3000 and then the CDJ1000 or 800... have to try them out to compare.
I'm sad how the technics CDJs don't live up to the hype.

Wheres the option for 'all shite'

i have a denon S5000 and I love it. I have never used another cdj though so I cant really compare. I just know the denon platter spins which I like.

Why hate on the CDJ1000mk2?

Quite simply,Because it is wank.
The whole concept/purpose of this vinyl emulation crap is flawed in the first place.

Ah, good old Freak . I personally haven't seriously used cdj's, so I can't comment too much. I see your point though

Posted by Max Thomson on Jun-09-2004 11:52:

I see a lot of DJs using the Pioneers to stunning effect (James Zabiela, Phil K, Sasha, even Max Graham is reported to be doing some scratching using them).

Maybe, but they're the only company to master the master tempo m8. Other companies come very close, but pioneer has it. Other than that, the vinyl emulation sounds pretty damn close to it from what I can hear.

who are the two people that chose the sl-dz1200? You should definately check them out to see all of their glory or should i say crapiness

Posted by Psiweaver on Jun-12-2004 19:18:

The pioneers are the best overall ones and i think will remain so even though denon has been mounting some stiff resistance lately. The technics are just crap.
