CDJ800 Vs 1000?

i've seen a few forums around with this discussion, but nothing thats really convinced me either way, there's a hefty price difference.. and seeing as i've only barely touched the CDJ1000s for a couple of hours, and never used 800s i'd love to hear the more learned opinions of the AM crew i'm aware of a couple of the differences, but i'm sure there's a fair few opinions on here bout whether its actually worth the money and will i be kicking myself and regretting not goin straight to Mk3s if i get 800s? or save some $$ there and buy a better mixer/h.phones?

thoughts?

cdj 400 should be out soon

ideally i would like a 1000 as they feel a lot sturdier than the 800, but if you got used to the 800 then it wouldnt be too hard to switch to the 1000s

most of the extra things that are available to use dont often get used anyway, so maybe go the 800 and spend more elsewhere

ive got an 800mk2 and dont use all the features its got.
a couple of mates have got 200's and they say there ok and do the job
i say save some $$$ and go 800s
 

I got a 800mk2 and a 1000 and prefer the 800mk2 but I suspect this is because I haven't read the manual for either and have found the 1000 to be more confusing as to what it's actual features are. This is of course my own lazy, stupid fault and my opinion means nothing unless you plan not to read any manuals!!!

 Serrato

i like the mk2 1000's wave display better than the mk3's.  i dont know if you can zoom on the mk3's, on the 2's you can.

What dont y alike about the mk3 wave display patchy?

You'd think the MK3's would be better cos the screen has better resolution than the mk2's 

Mk3 does MP3...  mk2 doesnt only real difference IMO

in saying that... ive got a Mk2..

functionality wise the 1000's extra bits are commonly used, i have a 1000 tho and i love it.  Got mine 2nd hand tho so the extra $ they sell for wasnt a concern.  I was looking for a 800 originally tho.

i havnt really used 800's but have used a 1000mk3 quite a bit and mk2's do 800's play mp3s??? mk3 has a memory card also so you can save cue points etc but like i said not sure if the 800 does?

yeah agreed the 800mk2 def do the job save the 5-600 buckos and go the 800s

its all about the sound wave of the tune.

cdj 800:  if u like mixing "blind" and dont know where the breakdown is in that new tune u just burnt chances are ull suck balls.

cdj1000 has the wave file so u can see the breakdown, like watchn ya vinyl. alot better .
also the jog wheel is sturdier so u can keep them mixes tighter than the 800. plus the mp3 function is cool , save a few dollars on cds.

if ya goin to spend the money id spend that bit extra on a 1000, or if ur not to serious, buy something cheaper like a cdj100 or that new 400 khem showed below.

Ken oath forgot bout that!!! Unless you know the tune well the wave display is priceless...

hmmm.. well considering all the tunes i've bought from beatport etc. and all my "other" ones are mp3, non mp3 support pretty much seals the deal, do the Mk2800s support mp3 tho? but that wave display thing would be heaps useful - and as patch said, being able to zoom it in is good too, i use a similar zoom function when i'm muckin round on traktor.

Cheers guys, think i will prolly try and stretch to 1000s, i figure i can just use any old headphones while i'm just muckin round @ home, due to the volume levels being so low, but keen to source a good mixer, thats the hard part.. so many choices

Just FYI.

the 800 does support mp3 

i bought a 1000mk2 just after roost did (our's were like sisters seperated at birth), like he said it was a great 2nd hand deal at the time but they don't seem to come about all that often. i love it.. like FUKN love it. i find going back to 800s (which most clubs have) is a little bit tough considering the screens, pitch adjust and jog wheel. no doubt in my mind - 1000 shits on 800 in terms of quality and functionality. but, to bring you back to square one.. they both do the same job for a very different price.

Patch... you can zoom in on read out, i'll work it out tomorrow and let you know how.

Yes they do

I'm selling two 800 MK2s for $1500 now!

just like you and me mate (except replace the sisters with brothers)
