Which should i buy for christmas?

Should i get the Denon DNS3000's 2 of them or 2 of the Pioneer CDJ800's.. anyone have experience with both? Tell me which you prefer,i picked the s3000's becasue of the good reviews and the vinyl spin emulation,just feels like a bit more simpler mixing,so i put denon's down in my cart so last minute questions

I have owned both.

I currently own a pair of cdj800s and love them. I loved the dns3000s as well

The denons are reliable, just like the pios, but the have better pitch accuracy, more functions (such as sampler), and a spinning platter.
You should be happy with them.

thanks,im a starter and i ordered a djx-700,now im looking through forums and people are saying shit about it..is it really THAT bad??

I'm afraid so, the effects are USELESS trust me, they don't work right, there pre-matched to built in BPMs and just sound like distortion most the time, I did however think the rest of the unit wasn't bad for the price, its not great but I didn't mind mixing on it for the time I had it, but if you get it, start saving for something else, you will grow tired and annoyed of it, and once again, the FX are USELESS, might aswell of put in a beer holder.

i strongly reccomend cdj800's. good luck

this really sucks..idk what to get now,i asked my father for the xone:32...he totally freaked out...cause it came together to like 2100$...so now idk what to get...mixer that is...any suggestions? 3 channels and up

Is a Technics SHMX 1200 a good buy for $499.95? I would believe its alot better than the behringer..a STANTON SMX-501 for 299.99$ , Vestax PCV-275 Professional Mixer for also 299.99$ or the VMC-004 which is also 299.99, plus the vestax has split cue...but hm i would rather want your opinions also.

PCV275 is the most popular mixer on this board. That's because its fairly good while being reasonably priced.
Stanton is not a good name when it comes to mixers really...
Technics isn't either beleive it or not.

oh tahnks so heres my choices i got so far...




2x CDJ-800's
1x Vestax which do you prefer out of these 4?

(Vestax PCV-150 4-Channel DJ Mixer)

(Vestax VMC-004 4 Channel DJ Mixer)

(Vestax PCV-275)

(Vestax PCV-175)



sorry for stretching forums much..sorry for being a n00b and sounding like a complete idiot

Get the 275.

SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many people here have it its not funny, everyone raves about it, I'm gonna be getting one myself pretty soon hopefully.
By all acounts its built like a brick shithouse, sound quality is very good for the price, and in general you can't go wrong.

thanks i guess thats what ill get until i convince my dad to get me the xone:32 or pioneer. Thanks so much guys.

I've only played around with the PCV-275 a bit, but I wish I'd bought it instead of what I have.

I want an Allen & Heath Xone v6

v6 is only a dream for me now hahaha,but ill ask for a 32 or a 62 next christmas. The only problem why i cant get the very expensive things are my grades,if i werent so god damn lazy id have the world right now. anything i desire but im lazy

I've owned an S5000, s3000, and I currently have Pioneer cdj1000 MK2. I've also played with the cdj800 many times. I'd definitely urge you to get the cdj800. I'm not much of a fan of the Denon decks, i absolutely hate that useless moving platter on them.

Thanks for the replies and help heres what im getting final.

2x Pioneer CDJ-800's
1x Vestax PCV-275
1x Stanton DJ-PRO-2000 Headphones
1x Stanton STR880X DIRECT DRIVE TURNTABLE (Just a start)

As i get better ill upgrade ofcourse,but thats good enough for me.
I Trust you guys well enough since theres no damn stores to test this stuff.

Also do the pioneers/turntable come with cables to connect ot mixers? AS in the rca cables?cause i dont wanna eb running out to get cables on christmas

I am starting to build my gear... and I think I'll buy that pcv175 considering that I will upgrade later. I don't have the money to buy the 275 since I think it's 399$. I've found the pcv175 on www.wwbw.com and www.music123.com at 249$ instead of 299$ so are these shops good? Because wwbw doesn't seem to answer my questions really fast. Also, they seems to be like the same store.

Other than that, I think I'm good for the headphones and the Stanton s-550 cd player. I'll head for the Pionners TT as my next upgrade. Someone in my family will give me a cheap TT, so that's why I'll go for the TT next.

Oh, forgot to ask, is the pcv175 good? For a entry-middle mixer?

Thanks.. BTW, I really like this board! It's probably one of the nicest place for djs... I'm sorry for my bad english..

i own the pcv-275 and i think its great... faders are smooth as butter and it feels so solid you could probably drop it on its face and not much would happen. plus the fx send and return is nice as i just ordered an air fx

if you are going to spend the money on a 175 ($249), you may as well pick up the 275 for $299. Its a no brainer really.

As said in almost every other thread about buying dj crap... contact Dj Tranz, he is one of the guys at Djmart.com, he can give you a discount - which doesnt hurt to check. The reason you see most of the places selling the stuff for the same price is the MAP (minimum advirtised price) that is set by the manufacture.

Finally someone else agrees. I do like the unit itself, but the platter is useless, especially if you are used to direct drive as it is a belt-drive platter.

i actually bought zizacks denon from him. i agree that the spinning platter is somewhat useless, but with all the features on this thing, and its acuracy, you should not be buying this for th spinning platter.

also, as discussed 1k times on this board and at the Denon forums, there is no need for a direct drive platter on this deck.

yes there is, the need would be so that it operates like a DD turntable, and not a belt-driven table. If you are used to touching a DD table, when you try to touch the Denon's, it is all messed up as the belt requires a different type of touch than the DD tables do.

Dont believe everything you read over on the Denon forums, the people over there think that Denon is the be-all, end-all to the dj world. At least, over here, there are varied opinions on some of this stuff.

I am not knocking the drive as it is a good cd player, the spinning platter is more of a gimmick though.
