First of all, no, i dont need anymore pios since i already have 2 cdj800s...
anyway, i need a dual deck cd players "JUST" for the use of acapelas and "dj tools".. i wont be scratching so there's no point in looking for something with a turntable top!!
im just looking for a dual deck to add, something very cheap but the main issue here is that i want it to hold pitch.. i dont really have a set price but im looking to for the cheapest alternative since i won't care about them alot!!
Oh, and i dont care if they have digi outs!!
anyone can recommend cheap ones??
PS: i found a lot but im not sure if they actually can hold pitch for some time!!!
thanks |

um... dude CD players are digital. they hold pitch forever.
what you're thinking of is the sensitivity. if you buy a cd player, it will be high. look at what your CDJs have, and then base it on that. |

| what do you mean by sensitivity? are you talking about the jog wheel's sensitivity? |

the pitch control will have a lower resolution on a cheap player
for example, lets say the resolution is limited to whole numbers... if you need to get it on "1.5" you'll have to set it to 1 or 2 and ride the jog wheel, or it will get out of time. Good players have finer increments. Regardless of the increment, all cd players will hold THAT tempo indefinately. |

so u mean that it changes in increments of .1 ??
if that's the case than i wouldn't care... i might as well get the cheapest of the crap they have on ebay!! |

cheap player would give you increments/decrements of "1"
expensive player would give you increments/decrements of "0.5"
(as an example)
the expensive player will be easier to keep in time, as the pitch control is more accurate. like i said, read the stats about your cdj800s, then compare that to whatever you're buying. if there is a big gap, you know it will be and you'll have to be ridding the jog wheel forever. follow? |

cdj200/cdj1000 is .02%
cdj 800 is .05%
cdj 100s is .1%
i use a cdj100s and a cdj200, and its still fine with .1 just gotta ride the pitch a bit more and i use my 200 in .05% |

depending on how much your willing to spend, then id go for some of the pioneer duals like the cmx-3000 and 5000.
failing that some denon duals, which you used to find in clubs a lot before cdj became popular. dont crap out on cheaper stuff even if they are just for secondary use. |

| people used to swear by the Denon 2600F before CDJs were big. |

| By buddy has the Denon dual CD player w/ the .1 pitch adjustment. He can beatmatch perfectly w/ the use of the pitch bend. They really likes the Denon unit. |
