I've never had the luck to check the Axis-2 CD players, but I haven't heard too much possitive reviews about it. The laser that's inside the CD player is VERY sensitive to scratches in the disks and it has a funny CUE point system too. (So I've heard) You can only set CUE points when a track is playing.
Oh and forget about the BPM counters, they will only decive you

why??? If you want to get into spinnin' you can find a used pair of sl-1200mk2s for that price and believe me, they're gonna outlast those cd players.

If your heart is set on getting some cd decks, then check out the pioneer dmp-555. It's a reciently discontinued deck that plays cds, mp3 cds, SD cards, and has a built in sampler. This deck usually sells for $1100 but since it was released around the same time as the cdj-1000, and wasn't pushed on the market as much as the cdj-1000, it really didn't get too much fame. Therefore, it's either discontinued or getting major price cuts and you can find one at guitar center for $300 ea (if the ad was right.

i wouldnt get it... its best to start with vinyl, or at least very good cd players (dns5000 or cdj 1000)

the mixer is allright. ive spun on it once before and it was decent. a little "plasticy" feel but not bad to start with. i do recomend vinyl over CDs though.

Im basically set on cd, cant give up my collection and spend thousands just to buy records. Cds are being more widely used now i observe. But im so confused on what to get right now though. I just something need something good, plays cdr, bpm counter would be good but not necessary.

Also how bad is it if it doesnt have anti shock. I mean, what kind of vibration, bang does it take to skip?

well if youre set on cds, but you dont want to get the really expensive ones. I would suggest the denon dns-3000, or the pioneer cdj-800. Im not sure what youre looking for...if you just want to get started with a bedroom setup those axis 2's might not be TOO bad...see pioneer cdj100's as well. (even though there are better players for the price of a 100, but the 100's are known to be solid)
