Yeah man they've gone up recently. They used to be £900 each but now there over a grand each. BUT...Pioneer have just released the CDJ 2000s so I reckon the price might drop soon.

The CDJ 400s are worth considering too and cost around £600 each.

Have a look here mate http://www.decks.co.uk/articles/dj_cd_players_homepage/

Loads to choose from but Pioneer are definately the Technics equivalent of industry standard when it comes to CD decks. Saying that though, I've heard really good things about Denons gear.

basically allows you to play your mp3's from the laptop using coded vinyl. The mp3's get sent to the vinyl and allows you to play/scratch in real time

Means you can take all your tunes to a gig, no need to carry heavy vinyl, and is basically the shizz

Vinyl was getting way to expensive for me so a made the switch to serato and its honestly the best thing ave done... highly recomended mate

Yep, serato would be my choice.

Means you don't have to sell your decks, you can still play your old vinyl as well.

Combine ableton to that package and you've got a very powerful platform.

Plus you don't scratch your valuable original limited edition collectables when playing drunk with your mates. I'm also voting for Serato/Torq etc. over CDJ:s anyday.
