If he's going to use a DVS anyway, I agree whole-heartedly. But he didn't list used CDJ-1000s as an option.
CDJ-350, 400, and those numark things don't feel like real decks any more than my CDJ-200s did…and I basically ended up throwing them away.
No current models other than the CDJ-2000 are worth buying, because they all feel like garbage. The 2000s are expensive as he**, especially if you're new or you're approaching DJing as a hobby and don't have a pretty darn good job. But they feel like real tools instead of lousy imitations, which describes basically the rest of the market.
That's why people use controllers. They still–mostly–feel like lousy imitations if what you want are CDJs, but at least they're cost-efficient lousy imitations.
Been a while since I've posted anything in the forums. . .but now I'm in the Serato parts of the forums (My cup of tea!). . .
Pioneer's will always rule the scene, as they are pretty much standard in major venues. By me being a Technic 1200 / vinyl junkie, I always loved the feedback from vinyl. I think the best CDJ IMHO is the Denon DN-S3700. . .I especially liked the Hybrid Mode for DVS set-ups. . .
just tossing my $.02 in.
It is an unknown fact that Mr. T is the original Black Power Ranger.
the cdj-1000 are ok with dvs, but overall best bang for the buck with features are the cdj-400. CDJ-2000 are a joke, unless you show up to a gig with a thumb drive.
Just got my second CDJ-850. Love them. In SSL they work fantastically, you've got the big pio jogwheel and pitch fader but I got them for £500 a piece rather than the £1500 you pay for a CDJ-2000.

i agree with full english, unless your getting constant gigs, for the bedroom cdj 2000's are just totally uneccesery
get the 350's, after all, they are the upgrade to the 400, plus they look great and serato supports them in hid now
They have crappy jogs though. For the money you might as well get a controller.

Does anyone know all the models of CDJs that support native mode for Traktor? I know that the 400s do, since that is what I use, someone just said, 350 as well.
I am going to get one more to add to my 4 channel until I have a complete set haha. I am looking at the 800mkII at the moment, but don't want to upgrade from Pro to Scratch. I like the Native Support much better.

350's arent a touch on 400's, a bar i play in sometimes has 400s and they are brilliant little players, 350s just suck imo.
