Pio gear is in such high demand currently in the UK that there is a waiting list for the higher end equipment. What does that tell you?

Try any buy a CDJ1000 and see what happens. Me and Penfold99 were waiting 5 weeks and 3 weeks respectively for ours - from two differnt main dealers. It was the same across the country.....

that could mean anything really i would prefer to see sales figures for both products i dont doubt that pioneer does sell better but not by as much as you try to make out.

It says there are less Hip Hop DJs in the UK.

Denon has a huge following from Hip Hop DJs based upon their 5000 & 3500 models in the States.

Not a Hip Hop DJ myself, but the majority of Hip Hop DJs only buy Denon.

I own a set of Denon DNS5000's and let me tell you baby that they can shit on any Pioneer around. In terms of durability I feel Denon has the edge. I hear Dj complain all the time that their pio's are taking a dump and they are quite new.

I have used both Pio 1000 mk3 and Denon 5000 and it really just comes down to a matter of preference. If you like pitch bending with buttons then Denon if with wheel then Pioneer.

Pioneer buttons seem less durable amd more flimsy. The Denon feels more solid like a cadillac. I like the .5 on the Pio's but the Denons give you 4% and 10%, what else do you need?

As far as Industry standard of course Pio especially in the US but that dosent mean shit.

Originally posted by sleepydragon well someone here told me that the denon is selling better probably cause i was actually interested in the denon, just like them guys were probably after your cash so dont rely on what some sales person has said to you.

that's what the salesman at my local store said. Pios weren't the highest selling CDJs, and they had a greater rate of return and repair than other CDJs they stocked
