I think there is only one outstanding CD player in this category. I’ve had a set of these for over 1yr and i find them so handy for mobile gigs and always bring them in the car incase a turn up to a venue with a dodgy set of decks. The Denon DN-S 1000 ‘s are fantastic. Don’t get me wrong they should never be installed into clubs, as far as i’m concerned Pioneers are the industry standard and these babies just arent designed for that kind of job. These are super light easy to move about, cheap, cheerful and functional.

However if your spending under 1000euro for a set of decks and a mixer AND a soft carry case – These are by far your best option. And they have enough features that beginners won’t get bored of them as quick as the others in that market. Plus you can do a whole gig from one CD player (not that you would, hehe) since you can play two tracks at a time for one Player!
