Pioneer CDJ 200, Stanton C314, Vestax CDX05 and Denon DNS1000

Pioneer CDJ 200

Stanton C314

Vestax CDX05

Denon DNS1000


These 4 seem all pretty similar. I was wondering if we would be able to make a comparo of the 4 and possibly give recommendations. I know this may turn into a Denon vs. Pioneer thread (etc, etc) but let's try to keep it on track.

Which would you recommend, avoid, and why? What do you like about one? Scratching? Searching functions? Quality?

Hopefully we can make this thread into something that will encourage people to check out some of these units and maybe learn something

are you looking for scratch capabilities?

Sure, we can add that into the mix. Absolutely.

With that, what unit would you lean towards?

bump, I actually need this info too...

What about this? http://www.moogaudio.com/store/prod....php?prod=ton05

If I bought two of these would it at all emulate the experience of using real CDJs? Like, are these Stantons reasonable at least?

I wouldn't get the Stanton, I've used them and they feel cheap.

The CDJ-200 are awesome, the only problem is that it lacks scratch feature.

The Denon I think the have a Scrtacth feature and I've heard they are very good for their price.

About the Vestax, I can't really help you, beacuse I haven't heard anything about them.

ive heard the vestax ones crap out pretty easily

I own 2 Stanton c314's. I am very happy with them. Sure they don't have the .02% pitch, but you should be fine. They do feel a tad bit cheap once in a while. But they function flawlessly. I especially love the hot cue buttons and effects. The scratching feature is just mediocre.

i have 2 denon s1000's for sale for about $500 if anybody who is looking at cd decks is interested

500 is good for anyone that wants to snap them up.

like ive said many many times if u dont want to scratch then id go cdj200 everytime. if u wanna sratch then denon wuld be my next choice or maybe the stanton as they have a very large jog wheel.

but for mixing you seriously cant go wrong with cdj200 i love mine - end off!

well u can just scratch the stantons off the list so youre left with the pioneers vs. denon.

Both decks are good, but obviously one has scratching capabilities and the other doesnt.

The denons have built in basic effects and the spinning wheel is a cool eye candy but not really necessary since many ppl can scratch with the pioneer cdj-800s and 1000s no problem

The cdj-200s however feel a lot different if you are used to playing on the 800s and 1000s so itll take some practice. Im not talkin about the size of the jog wheel either, its just how you use it that's different.

I would go for the pioneers since ive bought the denons before but quickly switched to cdj-1000s

I'm curious as to why your not asking about the Numark Axis 9 or 8 as well .

god, this has been covered to death soooo many times. i've never said this before, but seriously, use the search button guys.

that's a hell of a deal. threadstarter should buy up on this if he's thinking about getting the denon's

if anybody is interested in the denon's...they can PM me with q's and i can fill them in on the details

I just wanted to know if they have a "beat loop" feature, similar to CDJ200s. I just can't find it.

Sort of - you can use the echo loop effect to create a loop of anything up to 8 beats and chop it down once it's looping by turning the paramenter knob to 4, 2, 1, 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 beats (not quite as small as the Pioneer).

I bought a really used DN-S1000 and it wouldn't play any CDs. At the end I managed to update the firmware (after I burned the update 3 or 4 times) and now everything seems to be fine.

i do like the fact that denon releases updates for their cd players quit frequently...minus the 3500 where apparently they took forever and a day

Another thing: I'm not sure about the other players but DN-S1000 doesn't really like VBR MP3's (can't really cue or see time left).

i dont think that denon does have a scartch feature acctually.

It does have a scratch feature.
