I believe the only criticism I can level at them is that the jog-wheel is perhaps a bit too 'loose' for my liking (with no tension adjustment) but that's a matter of personal preference and I know a lot of people prefer them this way. Unless you can get a set of CDJ 100/200s significantly cheaper there is no way I would take them ahead of a set of the reloops- yes they are Pioneer but they are of a completely different generation now and incredibly dated in terms of what they offer (or rather, don't offer). CDJ 400s/350s would be a better investment but they are likely to be a fair bit more expensive and I would still take the RMP3s for the bigger platter, link, etc all day long. As for the NDX400s they are neither one thing or the other- they will likely cost you around the same as CDJ100s/200s but will have minimal resale value compared to the Pioneers, and are nowhere near the Reloops in terms of features and most likely build quality too. |

| Chandra Lean 12.10.2013 | i have a pair of reloop Rmp3-a's solid players, (just serviced) incase you're interested |
| Lean Hostetler 20.09.2013 | My advice would be to look into buying some second hand CDJ 100's or CDJ 200's, Numark's low end gear really isn't reliable, I had a horror show with their DJ Mix Console with the drawers jamming etc:, went with Pioneer and never looked back. |
