    I want to buy some CD Decks, need a recommenation. Ideally I'd get the Pioneer CDJ 1000's - but it might be overkill for my needs. Anyone know the difference in the 100's, 500's & 800's etc? What about other makes? Ideally I'd like Mp3 compatibiliy...
    All advise appreciated.
    Cheers

    800s or 800mkIIs now cos 800s are outta production.

    1000s are silly money.

    1000s all the way, im biased coz I have em, never buy electronic stuff off ebay, bound to be a bit dodge, I aint naming names but I know someone who got sold a box for €200.....


    Even the 1000s are dirt cheap aswell on ebay, lookin now, has to be dodgey!

    :rolleyes:

    Where I bought mine from a german site : http://www.djservice.com

    If you want full Irish Warranty buy them from Niall in Aquarius Light N Sound in Leixlip, look him up, he'd do you a good deal....

    cdj200s aswell. There 500 each brandn ew so you should get a pair for 500-600. Mp3 compatiable. No vinyl emulation but that didnt bother me really. All depends excactly what you want from you deck i suppose.

    Hey Zascar if you want mp3 compatablity make sure you get the mk2 CDJ 800s or if it's the 1000s you're getting mk3. As you know I've got the 800s mk2. Got them off Niall in Aquarius for €750 each with full Irish warranty. They are da shizzle!

    If you've got tons of mp3s it's way to go. I can fit around 45 320bitrate mp3s onto one cd! Make two copies of the same cd and I'm sorted for just one gig even potentially! Even better as well they also read cdrws so I can just change around my tunes whenever I feel like it without going through a stack of blank cds and the disorganisation that goes with all that.

    Just to let ye know as ye are on the subject, Im selling a set of pioneer cdj 1000 mk11 cd decks. They are practically brand new and still in their boxes. Bought them from soundtraxx and they are under warrenty. The reciept and warranty comes with the decks (obviously!) :)

    I havn't advertised them yet as I was kinda in 2 minds whether to sell them but theres no point keeping them if there not been used:(
