The missus keeps on asking me what for xmas etcera and I never have a clue. Then I said I wouldn’t mind that one and she was like. “I’ll get it for you if you want.”

    tbf, she’s coming off my furlough scheme at the end of Feb. ’bout time she put a little back into the economy.

    Has anyone used or bought denon sc5000’s?
    Was going to buy xdj 700’s but have started to look at these ,used cdj 1000 mk3’s for years would just like to hear some feedback??? Cheers

      I have SC5000s…….if you can get over them “not being Pioneer” they are a far superior product in terms of tech than CDJ 2000s . I has CDJ900s prior to my Denons and never regretted selling them to fund these.

      Build quality is slightly less impressive, but unless you are gigging and taking them all over the place I don’t see that as an issue. I had one problem with one deck and Customer Service sent a courier out within 2 days to pick up and fix. Was pretty impressed on that front. No issues since then.

      Some don’t like the look and color combinations, but never bothered me. Pioneers are a good option for an "“all in one” home system if you play out on CDJs from time to time. Ive always gone for a dedicated mixer and couldn’t justify the price tag of CDJs vs features based on home use.

        Heno SC5000 will be far, far superior over the XDJ-700. It’s not even close. Try and have a go of them first and get to grips with it - it’s not too different from pioneer but the CPU and Screen is much faster/smoother/better.

            None of this spellcheck or Grammarly nonsense

            Unbroken1 It appears to have been installed in an old woodwork bench from one of my CDT classes back at secondary school, rather than in an actual night club. That could be an issue for them.

              Homegrove some of the stuff they haven’t included the vat so when you factor it in its around the same as recordcase

                  Need to factor in import duties as well??
