There's the effect of that typical Pioneer brainwashing for you

I'm not loyal to any specific brands, I just pick gear that's best for the situation and has decent build quality to match.

You yourself use a DJM600 clone so you're hardly in a position to criticise Pioneer.

A DJM600 clone that doesn't cost £500 You should know by now that my issue with Pioneer gear is that they generally offer the same - or less - features as the competition at double the price. It's brand tax, plain and simple.

Anyway, lets not derail this thread.

I completely agree that Pioneer gear is overpriced. It's priced for the clubs to purchase, rather than the consumer.

I never have and never will pay the full MSRP for high end Pio gear. That doesn't mean they make bad products though.

Reloop of course get to save all the R+D costs since they're just copying someone else's designs.
Edit: as to the features argument, nothing comes close to the Nexus CDJs, and the DJM900's integration with Traktor is awesome.

Hey guys stop complaining about Reloop, it's a cool firm and they make cool stuff!! and also this post is for Daft Punk!

btw why cannot "Daft Punk" and "EDM" be used in the same sentence? I don't see EDM as something bad, it's just the modern term to refer to electronic dance music: house, trance, electro, dubstep, dnb, etc etc etc. If we say Daft Punk is the best EDM act out there or this song from Daft Punk is the best EDM song, we don't refer to mainstream music, I personally refered to the WHOLE electronic music. maybe i'm wrong, but you guys complain too much! let's enjoy this album!!

I don't know what it is either but EDM makes my stomach turn. Just say Dance music or electronic music. It just sounds like your not educated in dance music when you say EDM. And saying it in the same sentance with Daft Punk is a crime in itself.

Lol at the Reloop gear convo....

Saying "EDM" is a lazy way of saying I don't know what genre this is so I'll group it together with everything. DnB is not the same as house, or disco, or techno or whatever in the least. Its a sign of disrespect as prior these genres were separated with their niche groups and core following. EDM is a term used by media to designate something they don't understand at all and are too lazy to learn about the origins or differences between other styles of music.
