«  The best compromise Report / feature / price »

dj for 12 years now, I have a mix on the turntables can be about anything, technics mk2, mk5, mk5g, cdj 100, 400, 800, 800 mk2, 1000, 1000mk2, 1000mk3, 850, 900, 2000 ect.

I was mixing on Technics has the time and I except to the great pioneer by taking a few years ago of cdj 1000mk2 (reference time).
Earlier this year I think he has started doing so old, he is shot in a lot of evenings so I had to change.

The choice?

cdj 850, 900, 2000?

finally my choice these arete on the 850 bus for the difference that there were 900 level with its functionality was not worth the 400 euro more per turntables.
then I think the 2000? 900euro more for turntables? of these crazy, just hotcue more adjusted and jog and a trick or two more? must not stopped the frenzy! especially in serato or traktor mixing on the hotcue I put on my midi controller ...

Returning to 850 :-)
after several months of reflection I took a pair of 850 ;-)
first printing. the fluid, these precise, his react very fast, very precise pitch.
usb these really great! the hotloop his terrible :-)

Mode noon;

-Terrible wrong has nothing on these serato reagent, according well respected that happiness! Finally, we almost definitely have to use the sound card (sl1, sl2, SL3, SL4) so ​​its make a nice mess of cable;
2 USB (one per cdj), the USB sound card and 2 RCA cable to go to the mixing desk, a usb midi controller and more, imagine the mess of wires!

Bah-on traktor ... it really works not lag its top, the function's not respected ... by wiring level against the top! a plate by a usb for my usb midi controller, so that the RCA of these cdj and everything!
with traktor using the sound card of cdj :-)

So for now the south is not very conclusive, if rane was offering a solution to use the sound card would be perfect for this cdj!

cd reading these easy and rapid as compared to these big brother the 2000 cdj 900 and the 850 is really less sensitive to vibration and burned cd and cd in fair condition.

So for me these really the best compromise between quality, functionality and price as 899 euros a piece for platinum as complete professional I understand how Pioneer still sells 900 ... for the look? or kind to me I have 900? lolll

I would do without hesitation that choice, unless I had a wallet was I would take the extension in May 2000 in any case that the 900 is no place in the Pioneer range and no interest in my eyes especially for 400 Euro and more by platinum!
