View this Thread in Original format
daeus
Im saving to either get this:

Pionneer - 1000MK2 (£ 698.67 each) (Dosnt play Mp3's i think ?)



or this:

NuMark CDX (£550 Each)


But im not sure.Any idea which would be best (Armin VB says "i only trust 1000MK2" btw)

Anyone used the NuMark CDX ? want to know if theyre responsive enough.

CD/MP3 got to be the only way to go - how annoying is it when you cant find a vinyl you want?!
dj chex
well for one the cdj-1000 doesn't play mp3s.

I'd go with the CDJ1000, it a sound visual...CDX would be the way to go if you're in for scratching.

I thought the CDJ did play mp3s?

Or am I thinking of the Denon S5000? (or 3000 rather?)

Yea i thought the MKs would play MP3 but obv not

thing is the price difference MK's - £ 698.67 each

NuMark CDX (£550 Each)

Still anyone used the Numark CDX's yet ? want to know what they are pysically like

I personally like teh feel of the cdx. It feels almost identical to vinyl imo. I also like it's effects and mp3 playback quality. If i was in the market for a cd deck now, i would probably buy the cdx.

mp3 playability is not really that necessary. The price of cdr's are so low that it doesnt really matter to burn it to a cd in .wav (regular cd) format.

And yes, the Denon s5000 plays mp3s
daeus
yea i suppose converting to wav is an option, have to do it from 320kbs quality mp3s or more i rekon.

those Denon s5000's seem allot, hmm dj chex makes them sound really good
onceler
wasn't dj chex talking about the numark?

isnt there a store you can goto that has these you can try out? i have 1 cdj and 1 s5000, but i got them for unbeatable deals. If I was buying new, I would have gone to guitar center in the states and played around a bit.

djlemeir
who cares if armin prefers the cdj1000
go around wit them
