It's gonna be hard to match the pioneer cdj 1000s. Those are just about the best you can get as far as cd turntables go.

[Bboy Solo]

but you know these things will sell like crazy(no matter how high the price is, peeps are willing to pay the price for technics)

i'll jus have to wait and see which one is better for myself

[Mrboogie23]

i think cd turntables are wack

[AlphaTrion]

Why?

[Bboy Solo]

cd djing is the future, they're not gonna replace vinyl but they're gonna have a more prominent role in the future

im sorry to say but i think dj'in either has to revolutionize hugely or their gonna disappear in the dacades to come.. i have respect for it still today but as technology advances spinnin vinyl will become less seen more and more... unless someone better comes out that supports the new hardware the world is coming out with... who knows maybe you can start spinnin more then jus music one day...(dont ask what i mean i have no clue)

the new technics are pretty dope they feel pretty good... nothing can compare to the new numark thats coming out..... I had to do a demo with them and oh fuck..... feels like the real thing..... high torq plater and has a vinal feeling plater...... there stepping up in the game and i give them much props... I tell you after nine years of scratching i never thought i would say this but cd mixings are almost steping up in the game.... almost beating the real thing...... the only thing cdrs need now is needle droppings..... but staying to my true roots nothing cant beat vinal......

heres the info about the new numark


Numark do it again - release a product challenges conventions.



At the time of writing, it's called a CDX, not CDX1 as reported everywhere else. Check below for clarification.

From the press release:

Numark debuts the CDX, a tabletop CD player with an ultra-high torque motorized 12” platter that holds a vinyl record for the ultimate in vinyl scratch feel. Styled after Numark’s flagship TTX1 turntable, the CDX features an industry maximum 4.5kg/cm torque direct drive motor, aluminum platter, dual "battle-style" controls, and forward/reverse toggle. In addition, there is a superior VFD display, full MP3 compatibility, slot-load CD transport, and extensive DSP functionality.

The CDX has several modes for scratching and looping, including auto beat matching and smart looping, which uses the Beatkeeper™ to make perfect loops every time. There is extensive cue store/recall with multiple sets for each CD. The CDX also incorporates many beat-synched digital FX such as sonar, slide, filter, echo, and chop. Effects can be manipulated with a separate control wheel interface. The CDX offers a pitch slider programmable up to ±100% pitch control, as well as a high-quality, 100% key lock.

The CDX is fully MP3 compatible. All functions—like scratching and looping—that can be done with regular CDs also work with MP3s. MP3 song titles appear on the CDX’s VFD matrix display. Extremely detailed and bright, the VFD display can be toggled among four modes to provide much detailed information, including BPM, time, cue points, and advanced wave display. The CDX features a fast, slot-load CD transport, and music can continue playing from the internal buffer even after the CD is ejected.

Numark CEO John E. "Jack" O’Donnell commented: “To say that the CDX ‘emulates’ a turntable is not quite accurate: mechanically, the CDX is a turntable. With the highest torque direct drive motor out there, a full size platter, and TTX turntable styling and control, the CDX feels as close as it gets to working with a record while using a CD. For the professional DJ who enjoys the convenience of CD and MP3, while also desiring the feel of working with vinyl records, there is no longer a need for compromise.”

they should be running just about a grand when they come out should be out early next year...... the new technics should be running at the same price range........
