vigo Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 I know, i know vinyl rules and will always be central to the grand scheme of things...but i have managed to build up quite a collection of CD and i just haven't got the resources to get them pressed to vinyl. Any suggestions on what models...i hear Pioneer have quite a range with the CDJ1000 or the dual CMX3000. I have no knowledge regarding CD's so any experiances would be much appreciated.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatas2277 Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Pioneers CDJ1000 are outta hand...i have used them once, very expensive...dont know what ur price range is....but the CDJ1000 are worth every penny...if not, u can always go with any other line of Pioneers which are also pretty good...

digital7 Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 they're running a special on the Pioneer CDJ-100's, the earlier, smaller version of the CDJ-1000's. I've used them on several occassion's and they're just as good as they're predecessorI believe that Guitar Center has them for alittle under 350.00$ a player. You might want to check that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 The 100s are pretty much useful for only playback, the built-in effects and controls are kinda primitive compared to the 1000. For most DJs, this isn't an issue, but there's some out there that really use the 1000 to it's fullest (Lawler, Zabelia), that the 1000 is a benefit. If you just need a playback device, go with the 100, if you want the new 'standard', go with the 1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vigo Posted October 7 Author Report Share Posted October 7 I have around $1500 to spend, so judging by the prices i could be in for two CD decks. Those CDJ1000's look very nice indeed. One (maybe two) of those next to your 1210's would do the trick.....oh and maybe a sampler for good measure, oh and a hard disk for those MP3's and an old roland 909 just for aesthetic purposes....did i forget anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0djfx0o Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 sounds like all you're missing is final-scratch and a 16 channel mixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digital7 Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 If I want FX's ... I'll get a EFX-500 .. either way, I dont spin on cd's but I do plan on getting a CDJ-100 in the future. It's smaller and a bit more practical which works for me, the simple playback dj that I am. Unless you have the money to blow on it (which I sure as hell don't), I don't see it justifiable when you could get something for 700$ less. If you do, more power to ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm spending enough on the decks to be buying all that...at best i could get hold of a kazoo and burn some bread in the toaster. I'll have to get a pre-amp too so i can put the decks through my P.C speakers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepulse Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 for any viny junkie, the Pioneer cdj 1000 is the move, the vinyl emulation is something I've been waiting for in a dj/cd player for years, nothing compares to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 I've seen 1000s for 900 bucks per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anteye Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 if you're looking for turntable emulation, nothing comes close to final scratch. Only other thing you need is a 500mhz + laptop. I'll get Stryke to post a more detailed pitch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vigo Posted October 8 Author Report Share Posted October 8 now i'm really bamboozled...cd turntables or final scratch???? What are the pro's and con's of these and will final scratch become the standard?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-side Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 Trust me ....Unless you already have gotten used to /or you like CD players..... Final Scratch iz the shit !!!!... I've been beta testing and using both versions for over a year BEos & Linux (The BEos is now dead).... You could say I'm biased because I never really liked CD players....even though you can loop automatically with a CD player, you still have to scroll through a song to mark a cue.... I'd rather have instant gratification of putting the needle where I want and hearing exactly what I want with no delay.FYI: the price I listed was for Two CDJ-1000 (U.S. $) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
