CDJ-1000 Is it too good to be true??

The-Ry-Man06

Im lookin to get myself a decent set of decks and mixer I was looking at CDJ-400's and 800's but then i came across these: http://www.adoos.ie/post/9966213/_2_x_pioneer_cdj1000mk3_amp_1_pioneer How unbelievable is that? Just wondering if anyone's had any experience with them because it really seems like a total scam of some sort? Obviously I wouldn't go placing an order with them but i would definately go and check them out if they let me.

Wouldn't a laptop setup with Traktor or similar, and USB controller decks like the Behringer, be way better than a pair of CD players and a mixer? Cheaper too.

No, basically. It would be a lot cheaper, but unless you're using a Macbook Pro, and an Allen + Heath Xone:4D, any digital set-up is going to be inferior quality to a set of Pioneers, apart from using the pioneers to control Traktor Scratch. And, if by Behringer you mean this, then definitely, definitely not.

I disagree. No need for a mixer if you have a controller device. It's possible to use the Behringer just as a controller, and use a superior audio interface of your choice. And use WAV or a lossless compression format, you can certainly equal the Pioneer sound quality. There's the potential for balanced outputs also. And less weight to carry.

I didn't mean sound quality, I meant build quality. Faders, pots, buttons, hardware, electronics, and yes actually, the sound quality coming out of the controller (the one's with build in sound card). With the Behringer, or a Hercules etc. the overall quality is going to be very lacking.
