Need a CD table. Any suggestions?

I've been on Turntables for a while but would like to add a CD table to my set so I can mix those hard choons that I cant find anywhere or are outrageously priced.

I ONLY need one. I dont care about all the fancy smancy features it has. All I care is about if it's easy to search thru a song and cue as well as decent sound quality and from a respectable company that does not outrageously price their stuff.

If you guys have any input on this, that would be much appreciated. This would be going with my 2 Stanton STR880 turntables + my Rane TTm56 mixer and my Vestax PCV275 (which i'm trying to get rid of).

thanks

well i'm trying to at the moment. But seriously speaking, extra features on a CD table is ridiculous and unnecessary. SOme of that money i get back goes to more records

It depends what your price limit is.

A standard and good addition would be the Pioneer CDJ-100S which is very reliable from $300 and less. There is also the CDJ-700, though its >$200 more expensive. But the best choice would be the CDJ-100

was lookina g the Gemini 10/15/20. That kinda gives you an idea of a price limit. Has anyone heard of the reliability on the Geminis?

I say go for the 100s, atm I'm spinning with 2 of those and they are perfect...no extra megasuperduper things, just the three effects that you hardly ever use but on the other hand alsmot aint paying for either

and as for cueing in songs it's very easy to do with the 100s, either you can search with the jog or with small forward/backward buttons and so on

go for it I say

Cheapest CDJ-100S is just under $300 I think.. around $285 probably. You will probably be fine with the Gemini CDJ-20 I think. They go for around $150-$200.

If you cant spend as much money for the CDJ-100's, there is the Gemini CDJ-30 which is exactly the same as the Pioneer CDJ700. It goes for $200 on eBay and the upper CD-400X model which has effects and master tempo is around $20-$25 more on eBay. The CD-400X is a good model with semaless loop and a few extra effects over the CDJ-100, but if you want pure quality the Pioneers are the way
