I've tried the Numark CDX... what can I say? It works well and does the job. It doesn't feel like vinyl completely but it's very close. It only takes 10 mins of getting used to. Of course though, my CDJ100MKII's kick more ass in terms of quality, durability, and performance, but not by too much. I would say that the CDX gets pretty close to a really high quality product. However, if I were you, I wouldn't just listen to what people say but go out there and find a place where you can try it out before you jump to conclusions.
