Hey Everyone

Coming at you from Japan, just letting you know that the new Technics SL-DZ1200 CDJs were released about a week ago here.

I was wondering have they come out in Australia yet or is there a date set?

I was lucky enough to be able to give these amazing pieces of artistry a test run as well in a music shop recently and I cant describe how phenomenal they are. Although there isnt much of a difference in features on these to the Pioneer CDJs, I much prefer the feel of the Technics. The 6-8 inch platter feels like you are spinning on a normal 1200.

The price here for one is about $1250 Australian, which I imagine might be a little cheaper to what they will be available for in Aus.

I just thought I would let you guys know, and I was curious when Aus was getting them.

hotdogpete Registered User	Has anyone tried the new numark cd player ?, it has a 12 inch plate on top which feels exactly like a record !! I haven't used one but caught a glimpse in derrengers the other day , they said they are around the $2500 mark . What goes around comes around , it is the universal law of averages and applies to all things............

nfi which one would actually be better tho, which is prolly more important

GDOG Registered User	had a play with the numarks the other day. they feel really good. had built in effects and that. but really cds sound so flat on a system why would you use them.

hotdogpete Registered User	though i haven't made any tracks as such , i have made a lot of loops which if i had a cd player would use in a set . I don't have the cash to buy one yet but will , sound quality isn't really an issue as i am unlikely to press a record of loops .

Depends on the codes u r using, mp3s sounds flat and horrible.

but mp4s and FLAC sound very tidy indeed
