Sirs,
In my opinion, it's not the BRAND that counts or should I say it's not the LOOKS that counts. PIONEER is well known, but i've seen DJs owning Pioneers who can't even use all the features and functions of it. Meaning.... if you close your EYES and hear how they MIX AND SPINS, you can conclude that they are just using CHINA MADE MIXERS. DENON is work of art CD Player, probably the information is mis-leading, it is not true that the JOG wheel is inaccurate. Maybe the DJ using it is the one who is INACCURATE. I'm sorry to say that... American Audio is good for starters and it doesn't necessarily means that PROs cannot use or PROs are not gonna be labeled as PROs if they are going to use AMERICAN AUDIO.
The bottom line here is not the player or the brand, but - BY HOW YOU ARE GOING TO USED THEM AND BECOME AND EFFECTIVE DJ?
MIXED AND SPIN WITH THE HEART, BEING A DJ SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE HEART. SO THAT WHATEVER CD PLAYER YOU HAVE YOU'RE ALWAYS READY TO BATTLE!
PEACE!
