Hi all, one month ago i have read about a DJ-CDplayer by Technics
which is supplied with an authentic turntable platter to scratch and many many features which beat the current CD-player boss Pionner CDJ1000mk2.
Though i´m fascinated of this tool i´m afraid the vinyl becomes more rudundant in our DJ-World. MP3 and CD`s have a better quality, are easy to transport and can be shared more easily. And with this teriffic player you can scratch and backspin everything 99,9 % (without spoiling any record or cartridges), apply cool effects on your output and many stuff more....

how do you think bout that?

That looks pretty sweet. Do you use one or 2 players when you scratch?

i personally think, that the vinyl won´t die...but that cd-player is really really nice...

It does look and seem pretty sweet, I played with one for about 20 minutes in a store and thought it was pretty nifty - but it didn't really wow me. Since then I think some better options have come about - I have heard the Numark CDX are alright for a full sized platter CDJ and may be a tad better than the Technics. Also some traditional turntables with Final Scratch, Serato Scratch Live or similar could be worth a look.
