…give it 6 months, loads of people will have the 3000’s at home IMO

Dan it’s way cheaper now than it was 20 years ago. my first set up was 2×1200s and a shitty mixer for $1500 and records were $15 a piece (that’s all CAD). now you can pick up a controller and either illegally download tracks for nothing or pay a small fraction of what tracks used to cost.

…actually this is a very good point, relative to what I used to spend across a year in my vinyl days, these are probably a bit of a bargain

    Yeah, agreed on the costs of vinyl compared to digital etc.

    Pioneer will have spent a lot of time working on that price point (the industry won’t baulk at it in the slightest, they’re buttons compared to some of their investments), they have a very good idea about what their consumer will and wont spend.

    Remember the pages of deals at the back of DJ Mag back in the day, technics with an MRT60/Vestex/PA/Sound system ……buy on credit with about 30% apr. Entry into the world of DJing in those days was a very expensive business , and don’t get me started on import double packs bought just for a 3minute dub. 😕

    A lot of comments said why would you buy these, and a mixer, instead of a XZ.

    Although I guess those comments miss the fact that the CDJ-3000 is not meant for home use.

      Homegrove A lot of comments said why would you buy these, and a mixer, instead of a XZ.

      Because it looks like a Fisher Price toy?

        Amps at over 2g’s each, I’d expect them to come with Sky Sports, Netfix and a hotplate for your coffee!

        Homegrove I know, I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about the all in ones, I’m only teasing. I’ve never used one so I can’t really say what they are like, but I’ll bet they’re boss for home use.
