do any trance/house dj's spin primarily cd's?

I heard from a dj friend of mine that he saw a dj who spins primarily cd's.

Not by choice, but by necessity. When I go to a rave, especially with my crew, we're really bad about not telling each other what we plan to spin. Our musical interests are a lot alike, so it became important for us to bring A LOT of music.

So far, that's the ONLY advantage that I see to spinning CD. Although cd players like the Denon 2600 do emulate a vinyl sound pretty well, you'll never beat the feel of a set of 1200's. On top of that, trance records are just asking to be spun on wax.

Not only that but also a lot of promos go around on cd as well, so more and more djs like myself are spinning house off cd these days. I will take the feel and control of vynil any day, however, but my back certainly won't!!! Also...what happens if the Denon (piece of shit...trust me I've repaired 3 of mine 1nce each, and it's expensive) breaks down in the middle of your set??

Well, of the CD players that I've owned, I'm liking the 2600's the best so far.

If something happens, I have a set of Pioneer CDJ500's, as well. I always have a backup.
