pioneer cd players

why is the cdj-800mk2 half the price of the cdj1000-mk3. are the sound qualities the same between the two? but what makes up 500 dollars between the two.

features, check the pioneer website for exact details

honestly, not a whole lot of difference in "playability"

Which is why I prefer the 200 above all other models. Best product for it's cost IMO.

But the 800 is still a better value if you're looking for vinyl emulation. Depends on what you're looking for it to do. For straight mixing, the 200s are awesome.

yup use the search button.

Anyway, the MK3 isnt designed for those that already own the MK2. I believe its more for those that dont have the 1000s already. Thats why the MK1 and MK2 have been discontinued.

i JUST posted this same topic two days ago.

http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=348036

1000's have better loop functions with a greater accuracy than 800's. they both function about the same. so i hear. in the thread above. but i'm curious, when you say waveform display, do you mean a display that looks like traktor waveform display or something different?

someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Yea, it's kinda like a mini waveform so you can see where the track gets loud and soft and stuff...not as precise as traktor or virtual dj though I think.

these are the improvements on the mk3, and they may have one also on the 800 mk2.

uh where are you seeing this at?
Ive been seeing the mk3 around $1100 and the mk2 around $1000. Id like to know where you found it so cheap. or did you just find the mk3 really expensive?

lol buddy, mk2 on the cdj800.. and the mk3 1000

That's why there's such a big difference, two different cdj's not the same one.. hehe

The differences between the 800/1000

800s
Basic loop functions
Beat Chopper
Vinyl Emulation
Basic Display
Master Tempo
Reverse

1000s
Ability to save loop points on SD card
Ability to save Hot Cues on SD card
Ability to save CUE points on SD card
Enhanced Waveform display
Looping functions
Vinyl Emulation
Master Tempo
Reverse
User adjustable tension on the platter

Those are feature differences

From our tests here, the 1000s have a larger memory buffer in them also.

Hope this is helpful.

supply and demand! the mk3's released, the demand for the mk2 drops. so the price drops with it to compensate for that, pretty soon the mk3 will replace the mk2. hence the price drop .

they have discontinued the 1000mk2 for about 2 months now.

Another major difference between the 800MK2 and the 1000MK3 is the components. The 800's feel lighter and cheaper. But in all honesty, the 800's work perfect. I still yet to use all the added features of the 1000MK3.

good call on that

hands down, all i can say:

the cdj-800mk2s ROCK! i mean uh, TRANCE!

great for mixing all types of genres...just ordered myself a couple of those, lovin' every bit of them....feels identical to the cdj-1000 mk(x) platter, but if you still want to go the extra notch with the platter feel adjust and hot cues and slightly more accurate pitch (significantly UN-noticable), and uhh...whatever other minor features here and there (visit www.pioneerdj.com for more info), then yeah im sure the 1000s will also OWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
