Just got these decks... and I must say, they are shit. I'm just really disappointed, I mean the sound quality is great and all of the features are nice (except for the looping which sucks on it) but the one thing that disappointed me was that they advertise it with Instant Start. They most definitely do NOT have instant start! It depends on if you are lucky or not. Sometimes it plays right when you hit play, and sometimes there is a delay of up to 0.5 seconds - NOT acceptable! They are fine for mixing Trance because you usually don't just start playing the next song - you fade into it or something and so you have time to correct the beatmatching. But I also mix Hiphop.. so it's just not acceptable.
Shouldn't have bought from eBay Got a hell of a deal on them ($189.99 brand new) but they are not worth it at all and I can't send them back (obviously). Just letting you all know so you don't make the mistake of buying these piece of shit decks!

dude, i use these, there perfect... maybe u needa get use to them....
the looping isnt a SEAMLESS function, it's just there to help you cue faster....
i love these babies.... but i'll be soon switching to CDJ800's in a month when i have enough to buy 2.
anyways, sorry bout your loss, i guess put them back up on ebay.

Alright then R.J. I will try them out for a few more days If not I'll put them back up on eBay and get (most of) my money back. Looking at some more basic decks, Stanton S-550s. Anyone know about those?
