im currently lookin for a new set of cdj's. im torn between just buyin a pair of pioneer 400's now or waiting and gettin the 800 or even the 1000's. could someone help me out with this issue? has anyone used both and what are the good and bad points of them.

thanks for your help

scottie

If u If u can wait get 1000's

www.cheapestdecks.com

why though

industry standard, best feel, robust build, they cook, iron, and give great head. :o)

1000s are industry standards, built like tanks, last for ever, feel great and are the best of the best.
800s are ok, and still very good - but it depends how much u wanna spend and what u want for ya money.

does the 400 not then

400s are ok - very nice too from what i have heard- built in effects unit and a pretty responsive platter.
In my opinion, all pioneer stuff is good, it kust depends on u as ure the one who will be using them.

If u diont have an effects unit or effects on ya mixer - the 400s are good - but i think the 800s and 1000s are more professional.
Id love a 400 personally :)

im always one for spending the money now on good tools rather than on cheaper ones and having to spend again

mine dont... i want a refund hahahahah!

ive seen what can be done with them on you tube and now im comfortable wiv mixin im startin to play wiv the fx. but i cant help wonderin what i would be able to do wiv the fx from the 400 included wiv the others on the mixer. but then again!!! this is why im askin u guys!!!!!!! im sure some people will understand where im comin from

I do to. I have only used cdjs for about 3 years now. Iwas (and still am) a vinyl junkie - but wanteds to move to cdjs. My advice will be the 800mk2s - they are pretty solid and loads better than the mk1.

then 1000's it is matey. You will regret wanting them 6 months after your purchase...

thats very true. thanks for all ur help. gonna look in to gettin 1000's

One of each.

Was always told by shite by twice

hi mate,

there's several reviews of all the above mentioned models on my website - equipment-dj.com - the 400, 800 and 1000. if you could leave your thoughts on there on any other model of equipment you own after you've finished that'd be grand :)

personally, i've got an 800 and a 100. the 800 mk2 is quality, 100 is quite old now. if you plump for an 800 don't be tempted by the mk1 (if you're looking 2nd hand) as it's platter is shit, amongst other things (not as responsive). i believe the mk2 has the same platter as the 1000 mk3.

cheers,
Paul, EQDJ.
