seriously

it's stanton vs. rane. this is a no brainer.

i have decided to keep it cause A) it is still better than cdj-100 and has hot cues unlike the 200 also the 200 isn't on sale at the store i bought the stanton from so i can't exchange for it. whatever. in any event, every day i use the stanton the more i get happy with it. So i guess i needed to get used to it.

Fuck that dude.. I fucking hate the denons.

There is a lot of denon products in india.. almost every club has denon duals or standalones.. Ive played on the 5000s, the 6000 dual, 4000 dual, and more I'm sure.

I've alrways had bad experiences. Their products deteriorate so quickly! and dont give me that bullshit "you shounld take care of them better" Im talking club installed stuff thats falling apart.. they should be able to take abuse! And don't even get me started on their mixers... Pioneers mixers arent the best, and they do break, but not nearly as quick as the denon mixers ive used.

Denon makes substandard equipment for the price charged.

Long term they just cant match any pio gear.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of Denons cd players, but as for there mixers, I don't think there bad, I have the X1500 and have put it THROUGH HELL, its on at least 10 hours a day (as I have everything go threw it) and its been like this for well over a year, have had it out in the sun on hot days, and when I had a demo version, I tried my best to get the thing to die, blocking venting gaps, running the thing with everything on at full and the sampler playing over and over, left it like this for days, mixer did not get any problems from it, apart from delayed faders, its a good mixer.

But this is about cd players, the guy has made up his mind, but if you do end up taking it back and trying to get something else, just go with Pioneer, I'm not a fan boy, but there players are great.
