Denon DNS5000 Tabletop Active Platter CD Player Reviews
" HELPFUL Denon Review PLEASE READ THIS! (No B.S. like the other comments! Gaurenteed!)"
Feature:
Great features for everyone! Remix artists, producers, serious DJ's will love this unit!
(Features the Denons have that you won't find with the so-called TOP OF THE LINE pioneer CDJ-1000's)
A/B Splice for cutting parts of a track seamlessly VERY USEFUL!
Alpha Track- like having two players in one! Makes this unit a
better value than any other CD/MP3player. WHY? Think
about it! On any other tabletop or even a dualcd player
you would have to have two copies of the exact same cd
in order to mix tracks from the same album! DN-s5000
saves you from making copies of all of your media. And
if you are not a jerk at your "party" gigs, meaning you
that you will allow the host to give you his/or her CD
to play by request, then its easy smooth mixing from one
track to another on that same CD with just one DN-S5000
unit since you won't have two copies of it! This should
be a standard in all DJ CD players! VERY USEFUL!
Mirror Mix- plays your track with a specified time Delay between the
Alpha track and the Main on the same exact song!
4 HOT STARTS/SEAMLESS LOOPS w/ A/B piont trimming! VERY USEFUL!
2 on-board SAMPLERS
Tail-Echo- fades out 1/2-1/1-or 2/1 beats of music when the track is
paused! VERY USEFUL!
DUMP- Plays the track in reverse for up to 4 seconds and returns to
foward with out loosing elapsed time! GOOD FOR REMOVING FOUL
LANGUAGE AT UNDER-AGE PARTIES on-the-fly!
BPM TAP BUTTON- always make sure your CD decks let you TAP!!!! The
Pioneers drop in value since they dont have this.
INTERNAL MEMO.- saves any hotstars/loops/ect. in the unit! NO MORE
VIDEOGAME-STYLE MEMORY CARDS!!!!
ACTIVE ROTATING SCRATCH PLATTER!- best vinyl feel! along w/ DN-S3500's
ok im finished
Quality:
Very well built, and are pretty consistant units. All it take is a friendly user, and these babies will last a long time! Don't drink near em, or let people smoke over them at gigs! Tell to BACK THE F**K OFF!
Value:
I think I got the best deals and value over all of my Denon equipment.
I think you will too, so buy a pair! Trust me, I know a lot for my age and I know I am right about the DN-S500's!!! :-)
Desirability:
It is a very apealing model and It attacks SO MANY WOMEN!!! I can't tell how how many G-D honnies were checkin my sh*t out! Actually It might just be me! :-)
Sound:
All CD Players have dynamite sound at this price!
Support:
I bought a DN-X1500 mixer (best match for a pair of 5000's) from DENON and they were very late shipping it over this past X-MAS which cost me a small $150 gig! So they understood and told GT Center to give me a free pair of HP-1000 headphnes along with knoking $200 of the mixer, so I paid $700 total! Yeah!
Overall:
Definately my favorites as of 2006! I strongly recommend that you get a pair even if you are switching over from vinyl like I did! But, make sure you understant the basics of DJing first!- Beatmatching, Headphone cueing, and playing the right music at the right time. I hope this comment was useful to you! Happy DJing and Happy New Year!

"AMAZING UNIT"
Feature:
AMAZING!!!! Hot Start points (really helpful). Alpha track is awesome (listen to and scratch 2 songs off of the same CD). TONS of features. but what i love the most is the 0.00 % pitch rate. not many people know about this. it is obtainable by going through the menu. really helpful once again. and the platter. OMG, dont even get me started, it feels just like vynil.
Quality:
AMAZING!, thats all i have to say. i love the unit, the rubber buttons on it are really really good, cuz your fingers will never slip on them, and the buttons will tilt with your finger, really really good feature.
Value:
expensive unit. not the best for VALUE. but definately the BEST OF THE BEST.
Desirability:
all i have to say is, I OWN 2. and my complete lineup is all Denon..
Denon S5000's (x2)
Denon DN9000
Denon DN X1500
Sound:
AMAZING SOUND QUALITY!!!! if u want a setup that is gonna sound amazing, get 2 Denon S5000's along with the X1500 Mixer. i bought mine about a year ago. and any forum i see about the S5000's i have to comment because i know it makes a difference for beginners.
Ease of Use:
this unit looks very complicated to somebody who doesnt know what they are doing, but when u know what u'r doing, this unit is like a walk in the park.
Support:
had a problem with one of my S5000's when i just bought it (the platter was loose, therefore it was over spinning. and they sent me a brand new unit right away
Overall:
i love it.
