I have had a pair of CDJ 100's for a couple of years now and I like them much more than the american DJ decks I've used before. They American Dj's skip a LOT under moderate base--can't use them for clubs, raves etc. I have also used a CDJ-1000 and I don't like it as much as the 100's. Maybe I just have to get used to it, but it's too different in technique to me. I also have a DJM-600 and I must say, if money is your concern, then go with the 300 because once you use the 600 a lot you'll never be happy with going back to a 300 or 500. If you have the money then go for the 600, don't bother with the 500.

Originally posted by Michael Russo I definately wouldn't call vestax "higher-end"... If you get the pioneers how much money will you be left with?

Vestax is bloody top quality and way, way better than Pioneer in that department.. i dont know whats up with u.. i guess you must like American DJ or Pyle Pro or something like that..

And no shit Gemini dont compare to the Pioneer.. the price is so much higher between the companies' products.. it just makes sense..


On another note, take the CDJ-100S since they are the best value cd players out there.. Also the Vestax PCV-175 is a good mixer to adapt and around $50+ cheaper than the Pioneer DJM-300 but doesnt have BPM..
