Finally Decided on TT's

ok guys, after much thought, i decided to grab the numark fusion 818 cd package off of etronics.com for $685US.

Features:
(2) Axis 8 professional tabletop �scratch� CD players with Anti-Shock�
(1) DXM01 digital DJ mixer with sub-bass synthesis
(1) HF125 headphones
(1) Hard carry case
Entire system comes pre-wired

i think this will be the best thing around for "cd" packages in the price range...i can't afford more then $700US(b4 taxes) for a whole package, so no need to recommend cdj-1000's guys. but plz share feed back if you're familiar with this gear...thanks!!!

ps. i know the headphones suck.

Well congratz on the setup anyway, even though I wouldn't buy CD decks until after I had actual TTs But hopefully you enjoy it!

Because you will find it difficult to find the latest releases and really anything good on CD unless your at the level of Armin or Tiesto, who get a lot of unreleased tracks on CD. If you plan to spin toons other than top 40, TT's are the way to go.

Difficult to find legit tracks that way. Really easy if you are one of the bad guys.

me personally, I would go with tables and vinyl and learn that way... but to each his own.

you can find tracks by unknown artist online and legitimately play their stuff with their permission and stuff. and there is also beatport and other sites that offer tracks through purchase.

give the guy a break.

I hope you enjoy your cdj's and you'll find plenty of good stuff on beatport etc.

Funny, Funny... tease the guy who uses cds lol anyway good luck! I heard those rubber buttons last 2 seconds before falling out

Posted by tu_face on Nov-18-2004 11:42:

if they are anything like the axis 9's, they are cool, or at least mine havent falen out yet

Posted by dj chex on Nov-18-2004 15:36:

I have used Axis 9's for around a year now... I haven't had any problems. And if im correct, the only major difference between the axis8 from the 9 is the 9 has a touch sensitive pad. It's probably gonna be fairly reliable.

btw, i just had to crack one about the kit being pre-wired. no hard feelings.

exactly ^

thanks for the comments guys!!!

the info was just a cut and paste...so i'm not emphasising the pre wiring lol...thats just total newbie if you can't hook up gear. i feel its a bit newbie buying a package lol...but the gear looks good (for the price, so lay off :haha

and yes, beatport will be a nice option...to bad there wasn't a system like napster around for only EDM, where all the new stuff released (along with rarer stuff)is available at your finger tips for $1-1.50 per song at 192kpbs quality. if thats ever created, that will be one sweet deal, get everything you dream to own, and legal to, so the scene won't die.

yeah same here, more for the reason that buying vinyl is fun and addictive.
