Ive have my two decks for about 2 and a half years, and might want to get cd players, I was looking through older posts and came across many good reviews on the pioneer cdj100s. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with a stanton cd player. I was thinking of the S-500 or the S-650. Anyone know how good these are? Btw heres a link for some info. ;)

Stanton (dual cd player) S650: $400 (US), $630 (CAN)
Pioneer (singe cd player) : $300 (US), $471 (CAN)
Anyone know if the denons are good? and about what price range they are?
Thanks. |

| I personally don’t like the dual CD player units and, if I were you I would save a bit more and get two Pioneer CD Units. IMHO, out of the CD player available at the moment on the market, Pioneer make the best. |

If you want the best, either buy 2 Pioneer single ones or 1 Dennon - DN 2100F .
Pioneer has lots of tricks n cool stuff while Dennon's the best in terms of dry statistics, mainly anti - shock (Throw it on a wall and it'll still play) and they've got the tricks as well. I prefer Dennon but hey, most of us want the Pioneer these days... |

I'd never so much as touched a CD deck before but I bought myself a pair of CDJ-100S for Christmas (2001) and I'm very pleased with them. I didn't think I would get used to the cue-ing, after years of mixing with vinyl, but I'm confident with that now and I'm enjoying them.
I'm glad I went for the twin decks and traditional mixer approach, I feel at home with it. I find the quality of sound excellent too. I remember a few years ago, when a guest DJ brought CD decks into a place I was resident at. He was playing much the same kind of material as me, but I found the sound very "edgy" and brittle. I don't find that with the Pioneers. Maybe it's an indication of how they have improved generally - or maybe his decks were just e (can't remember the make, but it wasn't Pioneer).

| I started with Pioneer CDJ-100s and I still have them now. I'm very happy with them. Whichever decks you decide to get, I'd definitely recommend front loading instead of top loading. And CD-drawers are a bad thing too because they can break! The front of the cdj-100 is perfect! |

it all depends on what you want...
if you want single decks then go with pioneers...
if you want the dual decks, then go with denons... |

I really like the cdj100s I have used them alot and they work well thats for sure. I dont know though I really like american Dj players, I bought some not to long ago and they rock. The drawers do suck, but for $249 I got seamless looping, fader start, 30 second skip, BOP, 4 cues, reverse play, coast and skid effects. and I think they area lot easier to use than the cdj100s too for some reason. Plus american dj has the proscratch 1 and 2 now so maybe you should check them out too.
But I would definately rather have 2 seperate units that the dual rack mount. just because of the addition room on the faces, and the ability to space them out how you like. |

American DJ do have good CD players with great value.. the Pro DJ-3 is an example... but for a few extra $ you could get the CDJ-100's which are definateley top choice! :)
You could also get the new Gemini CD-1800X for US$349 at DJTronix.com which has scratch, disc slide-in, 4 effects, 4 cue points, instant start, pitch bend, shock protection, direct access and seamless loop. There is also the cheaper Gemini CD-400X for US$239. It has shock protection, 4 effects, seamless loop, pitch bend and direct access.
cheers :D |
