Tascam CD-DJ1

Advantages: Solid decks that can take a bump
Disadvantages: Belt-drive, end of line

...I have been a DJ for 1 month. I am a begginer. I don't really know my decks,but I do know what I can play quality music on. These decks rock. That's all I can say. I got a pair for under £200, and compared with some Technics, I can't really tell the difference. Well, I can tell a small difference but that's abou it. It does have it's problems though. Belt-drive. Some people hate them, some people swear by them. I have to say that I think they are not as good as Direct drive. You DJs out there probably know more about this than me, but it's just my opinion. The pitch bend is +/-10%, which I think is very handy. This gives the potential to mix some really slow hip-hop with some top-level techno. I am quite pleased with myself that I can mix Arsonists with Peaceman. It does add some elements of fun to the game as well. The tonearm... Read review

...Sony RCDW100. This CD player made by Sony can come in black or silver, so it will match any existing sound system. It is a very well made which is to be expected from Sony, they have all the best engineers. What It can do This CD player can be used on its own or as part of a sound system.

Advantages: Takes 10 CD's, easy to change the CD's
Disadvantages: The cover is not robust enough

...I bought this Sony CD Changer for my car as a package with a Sony Stereo for £200 several years ago. I paid to have it fitted by a garage and it has always worked perfectly. The CD changer holds 10 CD's and slots into casing that attaches to the inside of your boot. A cover on the top of the casing slides to the sides and you then remove the CD holder by pressing a button - the car doesn't need to be switched on to do this. It is easy to change the CD's and put the holder back in the casing. The only problem I have had with the CD changer is that a few months ago the cover that broke off. To be fair, I throw a lot of things in my boot and it's not surprising that the CD changer has been knocked about a bit. Although the cover has now detached itself, the CD changer works just as well so it's not really a problem. I would recommend... Read review
