help choosing a multi format cd player

Still can't get Reloop RMP3s in the US mdcdesign :P

I'm assuming he's in the US anyways. eBay has finally sold out of the contour interfaces too. Shame, I was about to buy one.

If it's any help, you can get the RMP-3a and RMP-2.5a from Juno (who ship to the US), and for some reason they're actually CHEAPER when shipped to the states (Christ knows why, but if you add the 2.5s (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/reloo...air/472392-01/) to your cart, then change the shipping address to the US, it cuts the price by $160, from $994 down to $828) Shipping is only $74 as well, so not too bad.

EDIT: The 2.5s are the 3s without the built-in FX, although if you're using them as Traktor platters you won't need them anyway

828 isn't exactly budget mdcdesign :P Same price as a CDJ900.

Thats the price for a pair, not a single.

The Reloop pair RMP2.5 is £659.98. I'm guessing taxes aren't included in the US price?

Ahhh. Was viewing it on my phone. Not too bad then.

I'd take Reloop's quality over the others.

I find it really weird how Pioneer won't offer link on all their models, but all these budget companies do. I realize it's probably to set apart the CDJ900, but I think their sales would be much higher if they offered it for the 850 and 400...

400 is discontinued, and noone would buy the 900 if the 850 had Link and price points stayed the same.

The SX is to Serato what the T1 is to Traktor. Take a look at the Pioneer T1. The SX has a lot more features and more functionality but I'm keen to see if Pioneer release a T2. Don't think it will be called a TX.

Again, thank you for all the replies....I'm going to try these out before I buy if possible. That pretty much rules out the Reloop decks although they look great! As for the Pioneers, I think the T1 is to Traktor what the S1 is to Serato....the SX was a step up using Serato, but the equivalent hasn't been done for Traktor (but I'm hopeful.)

Have you had a look around for used CDJs? I've heard that the 850s can sometimes go quite cheap on the used market over there, and you should be able to find them in-store somewhere to try.
