cd player advice
View this Thread in Original format

greetings,

i am finally buying a setup and have most major components except my cd players. i am specifically looking for players that are front loading (not on trays) and that have good samplers on board. i do not do any scratching and effects, though welcome, are not important for the players. as i've spent quite a lot on my PA (bose 802's and carver 1.5 mag field amp plus twin 15" sub with adcom gfa555 amp) and mixer (rane empath) i'm hoping to not spend really big bucks on cd players. any advice would be most appreciated.

thanks and i apologize if this has been covered in previous threads.

be well.
mike.

thank you both for taking a moment to reply.

i was already consider the dn-s5000 but it seems to have way more bells and whistles than i need. still might be the player i go with though.

re the cdj800 - am i wrong in understanding that there is no sampler on these players? sampling is the one thing i want the player to be able to do in the bell/whistle category.

thank you again.
mike.

i don't think any cd players out there do sampling
they'll do real time seamless looping and multiple hot cue points which can help with sampling, but i don't think any offer sampling, that's more a function you'll find on a mixer or effects box

but for cd players, cdj-800 is a good bet

not trying to convince you or anything but defintaly try dn-s3500

i prob should have noted earlier that i spin psy-down/ambient/dub not beat driven music.

thanks again.
