Hmmm..............this is gonna be a topic for a long long time!!!either in the form of CDJ vs. Vinyl or Pioneer vs. Technics...............It's never ending :eh: !!

Firstly let me state I'm vinyl all the way!I do however use CD turntables from time to time! The technics has the look and for me the platter is a perfect size, bar the numark which replicates a vinyl's turntable! However the CDJ 1000 is far more complete and its track record is testamant to that, its not in every club for no reason!!

I may have a bias in that I have used the CDJ more than the Technics, but still I've used both and I just felt the CDJ was a nicer deck to use!!!

Well I,ve got 2 cdj 800,s but I use cdj1000,s which my freind has he also has a technic,s cd deck & to be totally honest the cdj is the 1 for me it has a better layout it,s vinyl function works miles better than the technics the readout on the digital screan is better I refuse to us the technic calling it a darlek spaceship & keep asking if i can launch the piece of crap outta my freinds window it,s a battle deck for hip hop dj,s not for the club dj case closed haha!!
