I'm planning to buy some DJ equipment around summer / fall and I'm starting to check out what gear is out there. For mixer I'm almost positive I will go with the Numark DM3002X for $320 CDN... but I'm still figuring which CD players to go with.
Basically what I need is:
-pitch bend buttons
-backlit/LCD/LED display
-jog wheel
If I end up with a dual cd player system, I think I will go with the Denon DN1800F, which I have heard plenty good word about. I would prefer going with 2 single CD players, but not sure which ones out there are good or not.
Which CD players have you used and what can you tell me about the quality of them?
EDIT: I want to keep it under $800 CDN for the CD unit(s) if possible. |

I know that the Denon 1800 is a very good cd-player.
I have also worked with the Numark CDN 20-S, but this one doesn't have a jog-wheel.
And for as far as I know, the Denon doesn't have one either.
It all depends on your personal preferences.
What I can advice you, is to buy a well known brand. Don't buy a cd-player that no-one has never heard of, because that won't do the job.
If I were you, I'dd go for the Denon.
Good luck |

ps. The Denon does have the jog wheel, as seen in this picture:

WTF
Tranceformer you stole my avatar :)
Hehe, anyway go with the Pioneer CDJ-100S, it has a jog dial that eliminates the use of pitch bend buttons simply becuase thats what it does, so you dont need both.
Either go with the Pioneer CDJ-100S, or Denon DN2600F |

Yeah, I was reading over the CDJ100S manual yesterday and realised that I could do a pitch bend with the jog dial. :D
I'm going over pricing to find the best price I can in the US ($540 for a pair of them atm), and then showing that price to a shop in Canada to see how much they will charge me for them (they do US pricematching and a 10% difference as well!!). Now I just gotta wait for them to reply....
Thanks for all your help. |

Hey, which store is this? |

| imo....dual cd players are the way to go. Assuming you are going to want to do parties, gigs, etc...it is very easy to just buy a box which will hold your dual cd's, mixer, amp, light board, etc....as opposed to getting a long case that takes up a lot of room and might not hold all your equipment. To be mobile...the dual cd players are the best...preferably Denon 2600's or Numark CDN-88....both are equal in performance imo...numark is about $200 cheaper. Peace |
