@Sarge Kinlin > Sorry but we can't discuss competitor products on these forums.

However, I will tell you (as well as many others here on the forums) why you should get the CDJ-2000's!

• The CDJ-2000 is one, if not the highest quality CD player on the market.
  
• You can use the "Link" feature built in to connect up to 4 CDJ-2000's or CDJ-900's and DJ with them all off 1 source such as a USB stick, SD Card, or Rekordbox on your computer.
  
• You should download Rekordbox for free and give it a bit of a test run with your tracks and see what you think.
  
• Rekordbox manages your music files and allows you to assign playlists, set "Hot Cues" and "Memory" points on all your tracks before your gig, then it's just a simple export to a USB stick or hard drive and your tracks will display on the CDJ-2000's instantly with the complete waveform, and all "Memory" points ready to go!
  
• The needle search is a sweet function to use because you can quickly scan a track and preview any part faster than using the "FWD Search" and "Jog" scroll method.
  
• The CDJ-2000 Jog wheel has a large variety of settings to control the tension of the jog so you can adjust it to your exact liking.
  
• The screen on the CDJ-2000 is nice and big, and you can see a ton of data of each song just by scrolling over it.
  
• The CDJ-2000's have a built in Sound Card and work great with Serato in Advanced HID Mode. There is some lag with Traktor because NI does not have advanced HID mode right now. But I personally prefer Rekordbox over all other software because it allows you to use the CDJ's for their intended purpose, and still feel like you're DJ'ing without software because Rekordbox on your computer basically acts like a hard drive connected to the CDJ's. You can close the lid on your computer (still turned on, not in sleep mode) and access all your music instantly and seamlessly stream your library to all your CDJ's at once.
  

There are a ton more features to these players and I'm sure others will pitch in and give their thoughts. But if you check out other threads on these forums you will notice a lot of people will recommend these players and will say you won't regret buying them!

Let us know if you have any questions about the players, and search the forums as you never know what else you might find out that would be handy to know. :)

Thanks,

You really came to the pioneer forums to ask us if we recommend the numark?

Just wanted some help with a comparison, obviously the 2000 is the industry standard for a reason, i was just hoping someone could explain the huge price difference and what specifically makes the 2000's that much better

Traktor users usually get excited about the soundcards don't they?

Get the Pioneers.  If you play out anywhere, they won't have Numarks.

LOL - that last line is the best one.  :D

I cant beleive you would consider comparing our beloved cdj 2000 with a piece of garbage like a numark,even if you compared a denon, I mighthave said maybe......hmmm...The Cdj is a club standard worlwide and there is a reason why it is that,admitted I would have sold a kidney if I couldnt get one coz they are freaking expensive, but the flexibility,manuvarability and sheer beauty of the 2000 just makes it stand out from everything else,it has revulutionised the industry...am I right guys????

I'm starting to think that Sarge Kinlin came to the forums to be convinced he should spend the money on them. lol  Go for it man! You'll love them! Not to mention be the talk of all your friends and anyone who sees you DJ'ing with them! ;)

Yeah Foster pretty much nailed it there, I've been thoroughly convinced, CDJs it is haha thanks guys.

@Sarge Kinlin > Haha nice, I wish I used these forums to prove to my parents I needed Pioneer! lol Best of luck mate, and let everyone know how much you love them when you get hold of them too! And if you have any questions or issues, be sure to search the forums for similar threads first and ask us whatever you need if you can't find it.

Cheers,

Foster 

My friend, if it's about the money, then buy the cdj 350. They still better than that crap numark.

@Sarge > The great thing about Pioneer decks is that they hold their value, so you can start on the 350s and build your way up.

The answer is very simple for me....   If you play out in a club that already has equipment, you are most likely to see Pioneer CD players.  For this reason, I would never consider another brand.

If the CDJ-2000 is too expensive, then perhaps consider the CDJ-900 for home.  It has many of the features of the 2000, and also uses Rekordbox.
