Gemini CDJ-600

Gemini CDJ-600
Posted on: 05.10.2012 by Merrie Jandro
Any opinions on this deck? I am considering buying one until I can afford another Pioneer CDJ-350.
Only considering because of the Vinyl Mode and USB functionality.

I found the vinyl mode to be somewhat mediocre...I'm not a turntablist or scratch performer by any means, so my needs in that department are minimal, so I guess that lines up with the capabilities and price point of these players. I did play Traktor Timecode CDs on them and they largely performed ok with that...nothing amazing, but nothing seriously awful either.

I may sell them and get a pair of Pioneer CDJ-400s. The 400s now have Traktor HID integration, so you may want to consider the 400s over the 350s.

Overall, when I take the low price I paid for these, I can't say that I have much in the way of complaints. No it's not feature packed with great performance, but it also costs 1/10th of the price of the high-end units!
Thanks for the input man, I just ordered one. once I can afford another CDJ-350 I'm just going to use the Gemini as a 3rd deck.
