Nothing wrong with those Tony! I also used 2 x Goodmans and built an extended height lid with front missing and they were suspended from the top of this lid over my NJD Vulcan deck, Iused that system for about 2-3 yrs five nights a week with never a problem!

..and guess who still uses two technics cd players for her little rig! Housed in a flight case - now doing fourth year...... in fact, I can honestly say, that I have had more trouble with my pioneer cdj500s than I have ever had with these players!

Hmmm, I refuse to trigger the Good vs Evil debate again regarding the differences between Cheap & "branded" Products and how a £199 CD Player can be more reliable than a £999 one http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/smile.gif .......................

 

Oh Okay then http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/221.gif

 

I daren't mention the problems I had with a certain Denon product for fear of Gary http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/fear.gif but needless to say that my original two R:cense:er Sounds £39 Hi-Fi CD Players outlasted a £1000 Denon by around two years.

 

Speaking as a D.J (and not a distributor) who has owned several top of the range CD players as well as many mid range and £39 ones http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/smile.gif , I can honestly say that Top end products do often mean more features, lots of flashing Lights and a "household" name - but not a gurantee of rock solid reliability http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/wacko.gif , and from my own experience of Cheaper CD Player / Mixers can sometimes far outlast the £1000 ones!.

 

I do own a Denon, and I use a Pioneer at Winkers Club, but my own Dual CD Player is a Stageline, and after 4 years it has never let me down. This isn't a sales excercise (I no longer distribute Stageline!) but based on my own product experience.

 

However, after owning their products, I still would never personally allow a KAM product to darken my doorway!

...and I bet you keep sending them back with a nice note saying "please dont send me anymore!" http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/071.gif

I have owned 2 Denons and would never go back they have never gone wrong on me and I love my current denon had it 2 years and not 1 fault.

 

I used to have a Kam which was good but they changed the style of them and i hate the way they look now.

 

In my personal opion I would not use Pioneer as I find they break to easy.

 

But I think it depends on how lucky you are with equipement.

hi there ... with the reference to homemix.

 

my system is a profesional DJ rig, with the exception that we use a homemix unit run through to the main mixer, as the cd unit (we also own 2 turntables)

 

the only reason this is, is so that we can save up to afford a profesional dual cd unit at a later date.

 

take care for now http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/smile.gif

Incidently, whilst browsing through the latest issues of catalogues from two well known high street catalogue shops, I noticed that one of them has now added a "warranty only valid for non~commercial home use" (or words to that effect)

 

The question is...."but how would they know?"...except for the 5 different brands of confetti stuck in the airvents, the beer stains, the 3 different hotel/bar matchbooks, and a "music for all occassions" clichè business card jammed in one of the cd drawers, with a contact number matching the number given for the repair centre to call back on...1

And the fact it was paid for by a cheque named Flybynight discos

.....but what do I know ?

O.hhhh Andy...flybynight is a bit harsh...if my other music sources went wrong at a gig (what! all 8 of them) id rather whip out a homemix, than not being able to finish the gig.

I know someone Who had a home mix and it blew up on them and also when I first started djing i was lookign at a homemix system and every dj shop i went to the owner said they hated the things and wouldnt sell them because they were that bad, I have used on before in a small installation and the faders are flimsy and the buttons r the plasticy ones you get on midi cd players.

I agree. Ive tryed a friends homework before, and didnt like it at all. Slow at starting, Crap pitch adust.

 

Allthough £500 can sometimes outlive £5000 decks.

 

 

edit : ahh dam, that should be "homemix" not "homework". Thats my old age already http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/fear.gif

 

edit2: Woops, i should lay off the beer. I just posted something replying to chris is this forum which made no sense http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/box.gif

http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/scared.gif - was the freudian slip "Homework" a subconscious indication as to your real age group and something you've just remembered you have yet to do! http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/smile.gif - or that your really over 22 and that was just an honest mistake!. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html/emoticons/071.gif

No, the bar manager was having a go, actually his son's homemix. I asked if i could have a go, and he agreed.

 

I wonder if these things still get manufactored?
