apologies if you consider this off-topic. hopefully you will at least
consider it informative.
i've got a denon DN-2000F MKIII dual cd unit, and it definitely does not
suck. i chose it because i originally planned to mount the remote
control below my mixer in a full-length turntable coffin. later i
discovered that coffins suck ass for more reasons than one, so i cut
some hardwood boards and mounted both parts of the unit in a custom-made
console. see
http://www.booyaka.com/~phase/console/ for pictures. one
of these days i'm going to stain the boards and drill some slots to use
as handles, for better portability.
i like my denon unit because the range of the pitch slider can be
switched from +-4% (for tight beatmatched sets) to +-8% (for matching
pitch in ambient sets). anybody who needs more than +-8% for a
beatmatched set should have done a better job selecting records for that
set.
my only beefs with my denon unit are that the trays are kind of flimsy
(i've never had a problem, but then again, i'm extra careful -- i always
open and close the trays with the buttons, and i've got the machine set
to close the trays quickly, to reduce the chances of bumping into one
while it stands open), and sometimes it skips when i try to play cheap,
non-branded CD-Rs. that could be because my CD burner is over 3 years
old, though. luckily, i don't have any problems with good quality (e.g.
mitsui) CD-R media.
the 2000F is now obsolete. it's been replaced by the ugly, white 1800F
(which appears to have the same features), and the attractive 2100F,
with added seamless looping and a slightly revised layout. you should
still be able to find the 2000F, and for much less than a pair of
CDJ-700s. for more information on the current denon pro DJ lineup,
