Numark CDN88 Dual CD Player

Feature:
the jog wheels could've been better for the effect options (scratching) but there great as is

Quality:
had this one sence 2003 and it hasnt failed me... lost a cable tho so im asking numark to send me one =[

Value:
if your into doing gigs and just mixing these are amazing.. but if you want to do scratching go for some real turntables

Desirability:
this thing is a party dj's wet dream

Sound:
this is probibly one of the better sounding products out there as far as cd players go.... everything is on point it doesnt sound right then your mixer is whack.

Ease of Use:
learning curve is a little out there but once you know it its like riding a bike

Support:
im dealing with numark now for a replacement cable to connect the remote to the deck... but it was easy to file all my info with them online

Overall:
first things i learned on and im still using them i dont think i could ever part with these babies no matter what else i get

I must say that when I went out looking for a quality cd player one of the last names I thought about (other the Gemini and American DJ) was Numark.. Just like the other Numark has made a name for itself as being cheap quality with features.. It wasnt something I was willing to buy. So I looked into the Denin 2600F and the 2100F (both cheaper then the Numark CD 88 here in sweden) and I liked them both a lot, but they where not quite what I was looking for. So I went to the Pioneer dual cd player.. nice, lot of features, and certainly looked the best.. but then I ran into this machine.. the CD 88, a DJ friend of mine had a gig the same night as me and showed me his numark. I fell in love instantly! this machine has everything that a Pro could possible want on a CD Player! It is built for speed and usability.. and it does both to perfection! I am able to get some near perfect mixes with the help of the beat mixer, the scratch function is near perfect, and all the features and features that a real DJ would use! it has really been a great addition to my shows... (though still a bit worried about name brand) but who cares, if it breaks I have a very long warranty on it :)
