Could'nt ask for more...
By: Matt

I am a bedroom DJ looking to perform mobile and in clubs very soon. I started out with some real basic decks... so started looking around for more options... thought about the CDJ1000 mk3 but was put off straight away by the price.. i now have one of these bad boys hooked up to my old set up... couldnt ask for more, its amazing what this thing can do!!! Cant wait to get the next one!!!! 2007-10-04
Not bad decks, but pricy considering their limitations
By: Rob

Well, people are probably going to slate me for putting this review on here (one thing I've come to realise over the years is that DJs are very passionate about their equipment), but I'm just stating my findings from a lot of experience working in bars and clubs where I've come across these decks.

I don't own a pair of these myself, nor do I own a pair of 1000s (I'm simply not rich enough for those!), but I've played on a good few 800s, as bars and smaller rooms in clubs always seem to have them installed. They're reasonable decks, don't get me wrong, but for less money you can get a set of decks with the same build quality and far more features (check out the Citronic CDS6 for example- fantastic deck and will take a pounding too).

The older mark I versions of these are complete rubbish as far as I'm concerned- VERY fussy over CDRs, take ages to load and just generally feel very flimsy. The mark IIs however are a marked improvement, everything has been tightened up and they don't seem to have the same issues with some CDRs that I've encountered on older decks.

All in all these are not bad, but in all honesty, why fork out all that dosh when you can get something with far more features and comparable build quality for £200 less?? 2006-12-28
Definitaly worth the money
By: DJ Memnoch

I was stuck between buying this or going for the cheaper CDJ200, I decided upon this and I am 100% sure I made the right choice.

It is a pricey CD Deck I have to admit, but if you have the money it is worth every penny. why? because of the quality of everything. The buttons all have a metallic finish which stops it feeling and looking cheap, the fake turntable works excellently; it even has a small digital display in the centre which allows you to search a song frame-by-frame superbly. It has "Vinyl" mode which basically allows you to control the CD almost as though it were a record, but it also has the CD mode which makes it easy to search through tracks. It has some cool features such as looping, which you can either do manually or get it to select sections for you. It can play MP3 also which is great for obvious reasons.

To put it simply, everything works to a high standard, it looks nice, feels nice, and plays nice.

If you want the best, then this is a good choice. The CDJ 1000 MAY look tempting, but think of the price difference and what extra features it has. It is unlikely that it is worth that extra cash when this one has all that you really need. (though if £1500 for a pair is not your idea of pricey then go for it) 2006-11-07
