You get what you pay for?
Seriously though it would be interesting to see the pitch resolution on these things.
The CD tray for the 202 made me spew a little.
Ever think of a DVS ? Torq is ~$350 US - Just thinking /w those Techs...

My thoughts exactly. Pick up Torq for under 300 bucks and you can use your Techs with your mp3s.

Might I suggest against the slide out CD tray? we all know how that will end when your changing CDs in a hurry.

Lol that tray made me pee a little. Im sure its not deathly terrible, but it looks pretty bad. You could spring for one cdj-200 and serato with a crap mixer. Serato will let you mix with one turntable.

that was my other option... and that tray made me as well!
my setup needs to be put up and taken down after I am done... so the techs are just to much deal with... take out of box and put back in etc. I havent set it up for months and i cant spend the $$$ on records right now so it gets real boring. I was thinking of selling my setup but i cant bring myself to do it... so its all just sitting there in boxes... I have 2 kids now so its going to be some time till i can spend the cash on a good digit setup.

The other option is to go with something like an Xponent. It comes with a built in soundcard and Torq. You can find them online for under 500 bucks. I don't know if you scratch. If you do, that'd pretty much be the only limitation to it.

The thing that irks me about off-brand CDJs like is are that you never get to know what the pitch resolution is. Can you get on the phone with a Gemini rep and see if these decks change pitch in more than .1% increments?
Also, that disc tray...
