Help me choose used CD players

[ionutmystic]

Hi folks,
I decided to buy two used cdj's for "livingroom mixing" and when i have friends come over.
After a search on the local "ebay" i made a list with the players i can afford. Can't decide which one to choose, the prices are pretty much the same with small differences.
This is the list, please help me choose one:

Numark ndx 800
Pioneer cdj 800
Pioneer cdj 800 mk2
Pioneer cdj 1000
Pioneer cdj 1000 mk2
Pioneer cdj 1000 mk3
Pioneer cdj 400

Numard NDX400 is cheap enough that i can buy new with a little effort (is the 400 newer than the 800? The ndx 800 is not available new anywhere...)

The mixer will be bought separately at a later time, probably second hand too.

Out of this list, Id go with the CDJ400. This way, any of your friends that come over with music on a thumb drive will be able to play as well.

If its just for casual mixing and you dont mind burning CD's (or already have CD's) the CDJ 1000 MK3 or Cdj 800mk2 are great, I am just more of a fan of the bigger jogs. Make sure you get good condition pair as there are a lot of beaten up ones floating about. Although the CDJ 400 probably makes more sense after saying all that :-).

Also in your budget is the Reloop RMP models. Go only for the 2.5 Alpha, 3 Alpha or 4 (if someone is selling cheap), they all take USB, CD and are midi ready if you want to go down that route later down the line?

Avoid models that only accept CD. You won't have the will to burn new CD's all the time, a lot of people made that mistake in last couple of years.
Either save up for better models or CDJ400 in HID mode with software?
