Well I dunno about prices anywhere else, but both the S1000 and CDX-05 are 600 bux CDN here, so if the CDJ200 was that price then that would be great, the Denon and the Vestax have .1% increments compared to the .02 on the CDJ, so it wins there hands down for mix DJs, I think when you look at the features, the CDX and s1000 are aimed more towards the hip hop DJ, cos of the S1000s features, like fading into the next track on the same CD (Useless for us) and the CDX has the TTM1 for the scratch DJs out there, but I have heard a fair few complaints about the disc on the S1000, that you have to really press down in order for the scratch mode to engage, for me anyway, the CDJ200 already beats them, I always loved the feel of the Pioneer CDJs, plus that .02 increment is awesome, but only if its priced right, my guess is it will be under 700CDN dollars, dunno about everywhere else though. |
Hm...well we'll have to see how much it retails for, anyways right now it seems sort of odd, because going by the price they show there, it doesnt seem like it will be much cheaper than the 800, which even if you dont scratch is much better, despite the 0.05 pitch. So I'm sure it will be cheaper than what they show.
And by the way, I'd just like to add that I did play with the s1000s for a good half hour, and I own the cdj800s, and I can tell you, you dont have to press hard at all, in fact when I was using it, I couldnt tell if I was having to press harder on them, than I do with my 800s. I'm guessing it did need a bit more pressure, but it wasnt very noticible, they are both very sensative.
It seems that most of the people saying you had to push hard on it are dns3000/5000 users, who are used to being gentle with the disks on the spinning platters, where youre not really supposed to apply pressure on them. I must say, the platter did feel a bit awkard though, but not nearly as awkward as a jog wheel.
Anyways, it seems like a fair player, I just think that since its not replacing the 100, it must be a fair enough amount more expensive than it, and at the same time, the cdj800s are quite cheap now, so I'm not sure how it can be too far away from their price (450 USD).
