This review is from: Cortex HDTT-5000 Digital Music Turntable Controller Grey (Electronics)

I've owned this product for almost a month + and it is really great for electronic DJ's.

For the price no other product on the market comes close.

A few things I recommend are be gentle with the buttons or slider and do not expect intense scratch ability on the jog wheel. Thats not saying the jog can't scratch it just doesn't as well as the CDJ 1000. Otherwise the Item is on the same level as the CDJ and I expect it to be the next true industry standard.

What it lacks in scratching it makes up for in mixer effects, jog scrolling using wav form and one of the best beat counters I have ever seen. Also the jog wheel is much larger than the CDJ. Beatmatching with this thing is amazing. On my worst days ever it still produces a flawless blend.

Jog wheel is solid, it hasn't overheated once even on long sets and with proper care I expect it should last a long time, much longer than a cdj 800 for sure.
