Soon I will be looking into getting a CD deck. Looks like there are so many choices.

true, but they will come down in price, just like everything else.

Man, the Techs really SUCK! The scratching sound is shitty. Who cares about digital distortion? WTF were they thinking? Why couldn't they make their scratching sound like the scratching on any normal Technics deck? I am kinda pissed off... that scratching sounds like a 16kb/s RealPlayer streaming file.

Denon sounded really nice though. I have to admit they sounded a bit better than the Pioneer. I myself have a pair of CDJ1000MKII's and I can tell that their scratching isn't perfected yet, but it sounds decent as it is...

I don't know how far the Technics will go in terms of sales... cause this unit is a pure piece of shit - no thought was put into it. Even the Numark CDX will do better than this (cause its scratching actually sounds more realistic)!

EDIT: Here's the video for the Numark CDX unit:

Really? From reviews done by respectable dj sites (eg. djbattle.net) and magazines (i-dj.co.uk) they all say that skratching with the denon is not as good as on the pioneers. Having also played with the denon myself I thought they werent that responsive. The spinnning platter didint impress me at all and I acually prefer skratching with a still platter since its resistance free. As for sound quality I thought the pioneers owned denon in this part. You have to remember that the site is typical denon progaganda and they are always gonna be biased.

Peace, Dj Dissent

The CDX looks very good, but i'm praying that it has more than 0.1% resolution, because if it doesn't, it loses a lot...
