CD Decks - Advice?
View this Thread in Original format

Alright, i've decided to make the plunge and get some decks. I'm getting CD decks since track selection takes priority, and i'm not earning enough to spend $50 per acetate. So what would you recommend? I've heard good things about the Pioneer 500s, 700s, and 1000s....

BTW, i'm starting from scratch, so any help with mixers / effects would be great too...

QRIUS1
I have a pair of Pioneer 500 II LTD and they're great, except that they're huge. I love them, but now that I've had my Technics turnables for a while, I wish I had bought the CDJ100s since they're smaller and can fit side by side. Other than that, I luv them, but I played w/ my buddy's CDJ100s and they're better looking and have some cool effects which is nice to have if you're mixer doesn't. One thing for sure...go Pioneer. Of course, if you have a lot of cash, get the CDJ1000! But then again, for 2000 US dollars, I'd rather get two CDJ100s and 2 1200SLs. The CMX is nice too, but necessary if you have turntables and don't have space for your CD decks. Hope this helps...
