I've decided to go digital and I think I'm gonna get the Pioneer 800's.
If anybody uses them could you tell me what you think about them, are they worth the money?
Does any1 know a good place to get them as well? (The cheapest i've found is £435 but i'm sure they'll be somewhere for cheaper)
Cheeeeeeers

i think he would have to pay tax on that though, unless someone was kind enough to buy them for him and post them as a present :)

they are awesome, and they have all the best functionality of the cdj-1000s at a fraction of the price.

Its true! If you listen to his mixes you can actually hear the coffee sloshing around where he forgets to drop the fader down

I love my 800... I think it feels so much more controllable than the Denons..
I don't know how I got by without it!

evidently you havent' been watching the larger djs now a days, most of the larger named producer/djs are using cdjs in their sets...

I think your right, I played on the 800's in seattle and there good and all but eather A. There was somthing wrong with one of them or B. They have a really weired vinyl mode that I had no clue how to cahnge that made things pretty difficult. There good tho but if you just wanan start out go with the 500.
