Stuck between the CDJ 900 or CDJ 2000/NEXUS

Stuck between the CDJ 900 or CDJ 2000/NEXUS Posted on: 11.09.2012 by Antoinette Bradshaw Hey guys. Ive been recently diagnosed with Rapid New Equipment Purchasing disease So now is my end all decision. Im 17, and ive decided that it is time to end this pandemic! I would like to know your opinions on the CDJ 900 vs the CDJ 2000 or 2000 Nexus. I really want to get the 900, but im not sure if i will just trade it off in need of something more like the 2000's. Is the 2000 really worth the 500 dollar upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated
Edwardo Rothenberger 13.09.2012	I can't believe what Pioneer charge. They really are having a laugh. There must be other manufacturers who do as good for less. Technics started to milk it because they were the industry standard. I got a Citronic turntable and it is just as good as my old 1210 MKII's and in some ways better, and got it new for
Hyman Werness 10.09.2013	Originally Posted by aarondavid I dunno, im just good with buying and selling, where it got to the point where i can make serious money off of it. That + working minimum wage flipping burgers = CDJ 2000's! i tried for a car, but my parents dont see the point in me spending a huge amount on insurance ($420 a Month), plus gas, and repairs/financing...and we have 3 vehicles... I wanted a car sooo bad! "good with buying and selling" huh.... sell weed much bro?

Guess I need to read the manual more often!
Dione Haimes 11.09.2013	2000s > 900s simply for the better waveforms, tension control and the much much MUCH nicer screen. slip mode is nice and cool, but how often would you really use it?

Antoinette Bradshaw 12.09.2012	Quick question: Does anyone have a price check on the 2000 Nexus? Down here the 2000's are $1979 without taxes

Arla Seniw 12.09.2012	Curiosity what do you do at 17 to be able to afford novelties like these?! I was grafting for a car etc at 17
Antoinette Bradshaw 12.09.2012	Well, the 2000 Nexus' arent released in canada yet, as far as i know, but i will keep you guys updated.
Palma Hanslip 12.09.2012	If i was in your shoes and i had the money i'd buy the 2000 Nexus but the 2000's are still a fantastic buy.

Antoinette Bradshaw 11.09.2012	Hmm, so, im believeing the 2000's it is! I personally dont believe the extra 500 dollars for enhanced waves, and slip mode on the Nexus is not really worth it imo
Valene Guasp 11.09.2012	Originally Posted by guiltyblade you are basically paying for Wi-fi, slip mode, zoomed in waves, sync, quantize loops with more control on the needle drop. Are those worth the extra $ is what you need to ask yourself. Perosonally I wonder if pio could release a CDJ-2000 update to include the zoomed in waves, and needle drop loops.

Vikki Jeannoel 11.09.2012	you could probably get a used set of 2000s for a decent price now that the nexus' are out
Antoinette Bradshaw 11.09.2012	Wow guys thanks for all the great feedback!

Kasi Marget 11.09.2012	I'm hesitating between 2k and 2k nexus, and I decided i'll "just" go for pair of 2k. A part of the decision is because of the Slip feature. In your case, do you plan on using slip mode for scratching ? (meaning you don't know how to scratch but you want to act like if you knew) (no offense intended, i can't scratch for shit either and i'll never spend a second learning it, it's not of my taste) If you plan to use the slip mode just for loops, it's useless since the DJM's "roll" effect does the exact same thing. Just ask yourself if the money difference between 2k and 2k nexus is worth the extra features IN YOUR CASE. If it is, go ahead, if it's not just buy regular 2k's. That's a reasoning that should help you decide. The only downside of this is the fact that, when you plan to spend a lot, few hundreds won't really make a difference.
Arla Seniw 12.09.2012	Originally Posted by aarondavid Haha, well to me i believe if i get the 2000 Nexus' then it would be the end to all my disease! I would have no excuse for anything better or more expensive because the 2000 would "be" the best/most expensive imo DB4... If you don't care about the cost. or have ample anyway. Why wouldn't you get the 2000 nexus, seems like you won't be satisfied until you do.
Antoinette Bradshaw 11.09.2012	Spoiled rich kid!? I work for my money!
Alla Bluemke 11.09.2012	The screen, to me is the biggest selling point to the 2000, nexus or not.
