the denon's are less that $1000 bones at www.123dj.com

now i can't talk for the technic's i hear they are ungodly expensive so they may be at $3k.

i'd wait tho, see what the technic's debut at and how good they are.

if i had the choice between pioneer cdj1000 and denon s5000's id go with denon. the tables are just as nice to spin CDs on, they have almost identicle feels (they are cheaper) and the Denon's let you do more effects. altho i think the pioneers are easier to use and are more common at clubs.

Definitely go with the CDJ-1000.

Definitely go with the CDJ1000. I recently bought a Denon S5000, and took it back, to get the cdj. The S5000 is a cool machine, and it's a great turntable immitator, but as a staright up CD player, i think it sucks. It's not easy to use, the instant start is not instantaneous in the slightest, and in all honestly, who the hell wants a cd turntable. The whole idea of a moving platter seems kind of corny to me. It's a neat toy, but if you want a serious cd player, go with teh Pioneer.
