- Stephen in Houston, TX
"I've had the DDJ-1000 for a few months and finally put it to the test New Years Eve at the Hotel Indigo in downtown El Paso. It performed like a champ! I ran it for over 5 hours with no problems. Ease of the controls, music switching, etc...plus the effects were right and tight!"

Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 Direct-Drive Turntable
Our customers say...
"I love my new Pioneer turntable! It is very stylish, very strong, and the sound is out of this world! This is one of the best turntables I've touched."
- Derrick in New Orleans, LA
"Performs just like a 1210 but with better torque, removable RCAs, wider pitch range and the wow/cool factor + the sound quality from real vinyl playback with my Shure white label carts is beyond amazing."
- DJ Core in Los Angeles, CA
"The pitch reset is quite precise and the different options of pitch control work well. The pitch control slider feels beautiful in the hands. I must say that I am in love all over again."

Pioneer DJ PLX-500 Direct-Drive Turntable with USB
Our customers say...
"Great value! Excellent product, I would recommend to anyone from amateur to professionals. I could not believe how solid these tables were when I opened the box. Honestly can't tell the difference between the PLX-1000's and the 500's. And this white is crazy! 10 out of 10!"
- A Happy Owner in Killeen, TX
"Unless you are a world class turntablist you will have no problem DJing with this unit. The motor on the 500 is slightly weaker than the big brother PLX1000 but for normal mixing and scratching you will be fine."
- David
"I am not a DJ, I bought this to simply listen to music, but it is very well built and excellent sound. Would definitely recommend it."

Reloop RP-7000 MK2 Direct-Drive Turntable
Our customers say...
"I must say that I am very impressed so far with this turntable. I just love how it feels and the silver edition is so nostalgic. I'll give it some time before I say that this is my new favorite turntable but all signs are pointing to that as of now. Solid build and awesome price point."
- Ryan J in Odenton, MD
"This turntable is a monster. Out of the box with no tonearm setup yet, I still managed to scratch without the needle skipping. Mixing is phenomenal and the weight of the table lets you know it will last a long time."
- Schicon in Allentown, PA
