I actually learned how to spin on these. They are solid CD players but the technology behind them are kind of old. The jog wheel isn't as responsive as newer cd decks, but that shouldn't really matter if your are learning now anyways. It'll probly do u more good in the long run.

thanx beatsmith.. your one of the few whose actully used em .. older technology tis expected outta these cos they discontinued & not a very popular series

if i hd the resource$$$ i would hv def gone with the cdj800s

i kno the 100s were pretty much industry standard in thier time ..
i chose these limited vers over the cdj100 cos was gettign the whole deal at the same price.. curious as to whether my judgement was good!!

you have turned out allright tho?? so im sure i cant go wrogn with these babies

cheers!!!

I'll put it this way: alot of not-so-noob DJs consider the CDJ-500MKII-LTD to be the "Tech 1200 of CDs" -- and I totally agree.

Many clubs have the CDJ500 in one flavor or another.. they are simple, straight forwards, and (for a CD deck) dont break that often.

The MKII LTD version is the prefered version.. its got the jog wheel that doesnt suck and some other minor improvements.

whine and moan all you like saying the 800 has better pitch control and now the 500 is trash, but a few years ago when the 800 and 1000 didnt exist, the 500 was towards the top of the line.

I picked up mine for $170 off eBay, including a really nice odyssey carpeted case and shipping. Sure makes a CDJ800 seem like a horribly expensive proposition!

Maybe where you are from, but here, rackmount denon's were what all that clubs had until pioneer revolutionised the cd industry w/ the 1000's

thanx a bunch m8!!! this what I needed to hear.. re-assurance tht i havent invested in a lemon deal... i did read a decent review on epinions & thats what gave me the courage to buy these decks...no one yet has actually hd anythign bad to say really.

cheers !!!!
p.s : $170 / piece or $170 for a pair ???

dont let my location tab fool ya...im actually from the same place as you - EARTH

let me clarify - im mostly into spinning psytrance... and in this scene, cdj100s were (and to an extent still IS) the staple psy trance decks. believe it or not many top line DJ's will only play on the CDJ100S even when they can afford the 1000's!!!!

so this is what I meant by industry standard... i dont disagree with your statment tho.. & its interesting to know that denon ruled the scene back in the day.

~boom~~~~~~~~~
p.s : DISCLAIMER : in no way am i sayin the cdj100's have anything on the 1000's !!
