im looking to buy a set of cd decks, im learning to skratch and i play trance, hard trance so (in your opinion) which deck is the daddy????

i hear the denon rules but the skratch effect isn't quite as good as the pioneer. has denon sorted out this problem with their software upgrades??

and where could i get a set of (which ever deck is the king!!) at a good price that will deliver to ireland? possibly with a set of flight cases thrown in to keep my babys safe from drunken drugged up clubbers!

personally i would go for the pioneers, they rock. but the denons do too, biut i haven't used them so...

for good prices go to either:
www.decks.co.uk
www.jbsmusic.com

If youre interested in scratching i would get the dns5000s.

if you can afford it then the pioneers straight off. i mean, zabiela scratches o nthem and as for "normal mixing" theyre the fuckign daddy, 0.02% pitch accuracy at +-6% or 0.05% at +-10%

BTW, scratching on Pioneer is just as good as Denon. I have the Pioneers myself, they are miraculous...

Pioneers are the standard. In most places you'll ever come, they'll have the pios. Denon and technics have more possibilities though. It's the same like with the SL1200, it has less possibilities than some other TT's but people buy it cuz "its the standard". It'd go for the denons.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, I want the Pios because I love them, and I really like how you control the track with there platter, but I want the Denons for the features, plus I got a X1500 that will go nicely with it, oh and its cheaper.

One of each? You know you want too man...


As for me, I think I would end up going with a Denon first, I personally like the platter control more than the Pios. And with all the extra features and upgradeable software you can get they are kinda future-proof....

But try them out first for yourself and see what you like and don't like about each and see what outweighs the others.

Pitch bend buttons are heaven.

the techie cd decks are pretty good for scratching when you don't put the key lock on
