CDJ 200's are dope! I might get a pair. Played with them at Guitar center and i LOVED them.

i have CDJ 800s and i am very fond of them as well. They do the trick for straight DJing. Im not a fan of EFX at all so that feature could go out the window. What i love about the 800's is the automatic loops.

every club i play at basically has the 1000's and of course they are the standard.

if you are on a budget, DEF. go for the 200's. If u can spring the extra 200 ea. go for the 800's or the 800 MKII that just came out so u can get used to the feel of the standard club CD players.

cheers!

The Middle Path is the way to go... 800 MK1 or MK2, worth every penny IMO. My friend got a Denon CDJ and he is regretting ever doing so... it's a fucking fisher price toy that feels like a cheap hooker's tits.

Hmmm, what about this new toy from pioneer http://www.samash.com/catalog/showitem.asp?ItemID=21852 I just stumbled across it, not sure if it's really ideal for actual mixing or just people who want to mess around in their home. The description leaves many questions

looks like a wack-ass 100...don't think SD cards are yet exactly the wave of the future; good for cue point storages now...

Re: Thinking bout buying a cd decks

i'm actually using a pair of american audio single cd decks...along with my 600, I've been pretty happy with them, and I bought each of them for around $90 each. Though I do want a CDJ-1000MK3 someday.

Re: Thinking bout buying a cd decks

if you do actually want to play MP3's, for what you're looking for in price ranges, then it's probably Pioneer 200 or Denon 1000...

CDJ 200 or 800 MKII IMO

nothing else that I 'd need.

Re: Thinking bout buying a cd decks

did the MKII finally hit yet?

MAP's at 699; DJ Deals has 'em for 599, and for even less take karaokedepot.com that I got from DJVeo and order a 1000 MKI for 539...(USD)..depends on where you live too I suppose.

Re: Thinking bout buying a cd decks

I personally have the cjd-1000's and they are amazing... I havn't used any of the xtra features that come with them, SO-I must admit that I spent too much money on features I don't, and won't use... However, what was very important to me, was how similar to the vinyl "feel" and response. I read a few threads on this, and most people said they had a better response than the cdj-800's... I totally wish I had the opportunity to try both and see for myself before spending the extra loot, but nonetheless, I'm pleased.

As for all the looping, fx, etc, that some decks/mixers have: I simply don't want to mess up someone else's production work with an annoying flanger carrying on... Sure it can be fun tooling around with noises and making something repeat...but really, it's annoying to hear sometimes. Just an opinion....
