I have two of these guys, teamed up with an American Audio Q-D6 Mixer (also recommended), and they are great. The effects are great, instant starting, great scratching, and VERY easy to use. Def. the best equipment I own. I also have 2 Numark Axis 9's, and there is no comparison. A MUST BUY for all!

This review is from: American DJ CDI500 Professional Single CD Player

This is a really PRO quality turntable. Effects are on cue and the scratch is extremely accurate. Sound quality is great especailly if using MONSTER CABLE rca's. I'd recomend it to anyone who likes to scratch and likes using cd's instead of vynil.
