im in the same predicament as you...well sorta. i got a denon s-1000, but i feel like i shouldve gotten a cdj-200. maybe i'll just get a 200 next time. compare and sell off one of them later on

what the hell did you do to your cdj100s and why dont they work anymore? I had the impression that cdj100 were quiet reliable

+1

cdj100s are probs one of the most reliable cd players there are. Im currently looking after a pair for a freind of mine which are about 3 years old and taken vast amounts of party related abuse

my cdj100s are the shit

i had cdj100s for 4years and they worked fine, as of late i had passed them on and sold them to mike (who posted above)

btw. if you already have a cdj 200, go get another one. in my opinion it would be weird having two different CDJs, like a 200 and an axis9 or whatever. thought a cdj 800 and 1000 might be ok since they are similar

i thought it was almost impossible to break the cdj-100s'.


anyway i was thinking of updating to cd-200s' mainly because of the 0,02% pitch! dunno if i should do it though. depends very much on how much i could get from my cdj-100s'

you have obviously been using your cdj100 as a hammer or something. learn to look after your gear because pioneer cd decks are built to last for years.

there is nothing anyone here can recommend to you that will "last" longer.

I never said they didn't work, the jog wheel is a bit unresponsive and when finetuning a cue point it sometimes "jumps". Sometimes (rarely) it just refuse to read cds (originals of course), but after I eject/reinsert it usually works. Others have also had similar problems after around 2-3 years..

And no I haven't been brutal with them maybe just that I've been using them -a lot-

Mate, I DJ out almost every weekend in dirty smokey pubs and clubs, And have never had a problem with my CDj 100s! They've even had the odd drink spilt over them and they've never let me down.

I'd get some more for the price

I think the key to the jog wheel is to be nice and steady. If you hammer it or move it too quickl, like you say, it becomes unresponsive.

Are the Numark CDN's any good? You know the twin cd players. I'm thinking about getting one of those. Cheap and basic but they seem like a good deal for a newbie like me, especially the CDN22Mk3.
