quick question. my little cousin is looking to get 2 cd players. he does not really know what he is doing but wants ones that you can scratch on. he does not have a lot of money to spend. right now he is loooking at the GEMINI CD1800X TABLE TOP CD PLAYER W/SCRATCHING and the AMERICAN AUDIO PSX TABLE TOP CD PLAYER W/EFFECTS. i think that for the 299 he is dropping on each of these he should get a pioneer 300 but he is dead set on getting ones that you can scratch on (he plays a lot of parties and he is into hip hop). which do you think he should get and are there any other options. he wants to spend a max of 299 per player. let me know asap b/c he want to buy them asap. thanks in advance.

oh please, talk the scratch idea out of his head. If he wants to scratch, convince him to buy a turntable. The scratch effects on cheaper machines are never that good as a real scratch from a vinyl. If you get into the more quality machines like the CDJ1000, you get a good scratch effect, but still, I prefer the good old vinyl.
Why does he insist on CD's? If he intends on dld'ing mp3's, forget it. Out loud the mp3's sound like . |

he plays parties for kids his age and the kids his age in the area listen to rap/pop music. i dont think a pair of turntables would be feasible for him. but at the same time i want him to get cd players that can last him if he actually gets into other types of music...like trance for example:). i just need to know what cd players you would buy if you hadd a max of 300 to spend on each one. thanks again.

Learn him to listen to trance music ;)
no, lets get back on toppic.
The american audio PSX.
I prefer this one. I've felt is before, I've felt the scratch effects, and well, they're not bad... Also the accuracy is better than the gemini's (0.02% dissortion, and 0.05% on the gemini).
The gemini doesn't have an instant start allthough they say it does. I went looking it up, it has a dissortion of 1.5 milisecond. The PSX has an instant start. The sound quality is also better. The effects on the PSX are really nice.
anyway, get the PSX. |
