Denon DN-S5000
If ever there was a cd deck to get skratch dj's
thinking twice about cd's and mp3's for turntablism - this is the one.
While it shares many features with the Pioneer
CDJ series, the best feature to persuade us to drop our reluctance
to
accept cd's as a part of turntablism is the rotating platter. It
even needs slipmats! The 7" platter does take a little getting
used to but the sound that comes out is just like vinyl. And add
to this the ability to add an actual 7" single to the deck via
a special adaptor - Denon have clearly thought hard about converting
vinyl dj's over to the digital world.
Also worth adding at this point
is the new software update. On top of all the features listed below,
full
mp3 compatibilty

collection. Details are here and
