Stanton has "got your message." Ad for the Stanton CD-11 in Streetsound
and other 'zines looks GOOD! Dual deck, hands-on loading (flip top),
enabling CD loading in a flash; stick-shift adjustable Search and Pitch
Bend features (joystick: left-right is search, up-down is pitch bend, to
get the beat on track if its off a little when beatmatching); Instant
cue and instant start, along with blank pass program search (whatever that
is); variable speed index, forward/reverse scan and dual sliding pitch
controls; mountable in a turntable bay of a DJ console; best of all, it's
comparable in price to two (2) fully-equipped professional DJ turntables
(now WHICH turntables they mean, is a mystery).

looks very nice, and with the idea of burning CDs with stuff from vinyl
sounds very tempting to get into not only 12" DJing, but CD DJing too!
Both!

Well, I wish that the market would change more to include the 'underground'
stuff on CDs, without changing the current vinyl situation. It is a bit
of convenience to have CDs with tons of good tracks -- compact. And I
like the idea of a hi-tech DJ -- cyber-DJ! Hopefully, 10 years from now,
CD & vinyl DJ'ing will coexist in harmony...without being pricey.
