anyone running cdj1000mk1's? how are they holding up

still running great? im considering these because i can get them for about 500 a piece used(CDN).

probably not a safe bet buying such old cd players, any thoughts?

wouldnt buy them personally

I wouldn't.

1st Gen 1000s were a bit buggy and sluggish by today's standards. You're better off finding a good deal on some new 800 mk2s. I bought mine 2 years ago when they first came out for $569 each from AGIProDJ.com here in the US.

i play on 800mk2's every friday and saturday, other than maybe wanting the 0.02% pitch resolution and the hot cues (the 0.05% on the 800's is certainly usable though and i don't use the hot loops), they're not that far from 1000mk3's, especially since i use a lot of mp3 cds

Sorry, meant 3 years ago.

yea thats what i thought, im just gonna go ahead and grab a 800 mk1 for 380cdn. already have one 800mk1, no issues with it, but would love the 02 pitch resolution but can live without.

I guess cdj1000s only worth buying if mk3, but then lowest you would probably get it for is 1000cdn.

Nah man...get the 800mk2s...not the mk1s

Try to buy new if you can...or slighty used, not to old.

Trust me, take time to invest in it, dont rush it. You will be happier in the end.

+1. The 800 mk1s also were known to have problems.

I'd go 800 mk2. I'm tellin' ya, there are deals out there for the same price you were willing to shell out for a 1000 mk1.

been using a used 800mk1 for over a year, no issues; not even once. The only real life broken 800 ive seen was a mk2, the buttons were stuck, which is wierd because i thought that was an upgrade. nevertheless, that could have been an isolated case; and given the experience i have had with the mk1 at this age, i would buy one again.

Don't do it. cdjs have a shelf life. Which is why I'm glad I went vinyl. I don't think I'd ever buy cdjs used unless they're only SLIGHTLY used and it can be proven as such.

fuck you guys

also, demoted: where are your sources with this "shelf-life". i believe lasers last long longer than you think, i remember having this old ass computer with the cd-rom being super ancient; yet worked fine after all that use.

i realize its for a different application, but i still have more faith than you. perhaps im wrong, but would love additional information to help us all GOD BLEZZ

Plenty of people claiming they get errors after a few years. Disc read errors, slot loading errors, and various other ones. I can't necessarily cite them since I don't have the time, but there's enough of them that pop up here alone to make me apprehensive.

My cdj 200's are already starting to have issues with them after 5 years of usage. Discs have gotten lodged in there, the slot loader is sounding tired and wonky, and it takes a while for them to fully load the cd (as in read the tracks and auto-cue).

They will die. They will die quicker than a Technics. And it'll be harder to repair than a Technics. And probably more expensive to repair when compared to a Technics.

I don't know if I'd say they will "DIE" after a few years. My CDJ-1000 MK2's are 4 1/2 years old and still work and look like new, but they have only seen usage by ME.

I'm playing on an MK2 and an MK1 this weekend at a club. The MK1 is noticeably beat up, it still works but you have to be gentle with it. If you hit the cue button too hard, it'll skip to the next track.

CDJ's CAN be repaired... but it'll cost you. This particular club has rebuilt a few of it's CDJ's several times. It's still cheaper then buying new ones.

Technics last forever because there's not exactly a lot of technology in there to break in the first place.

I don't remember saying they'd die after a few years, simply that they'll die muuuuch quicker than a Technics. I only want to spend that kind of money once if possible. I wish I had gone with vinyl from the start but at least I can be happy knowing that when my cdjs die I'll have decks that should presumably last me forever.

I don't get it dude. Don't ask for opinions if you're worried about hearing things you don't wanna hear. We're only trying to help based on personal experiences.

Sounds like your mind is already made up on the mk1.

naw fuck that old shit. there is a certain financial threshold i've set for a cdj, that im willing to let break based on supposed breakdown facts. going with either a cdj200 or a 800mk1 if i can stumble upon one.

also, lick my anus.

i dont want to hear about his vinyl turntables and how they will live forever. i hope his motor dies. *JEALOUSY

also cocks

i find rubbing your penis on a spinning technics platter is one of the best feelings(33rpm)(im a virgin)

last time we did that I didn't feel as though the ambiance was truly fitting. I'm bringing rain boots and a dreamcatcher this time. A used dreamcatcher that's already caught all those dirty, saucy dreams.

yes!

This thread used to be good.

Sorry we couldn't keep the thread up to your prestigious standards. I will try much harder next time.
