Hello FreestylePete,

I don't know if you are still interested in buying a CDN-88
double CD player ?
I have this one for a couple of months now. I am VERY satisfied.
First I wanted to buy a Denon or Pioneer stand alone deck, but
after considering the price of forementioned decks, (and you need to buy TWO of them...) there was only one option...
Generaly it is a fine piece of equipment, packed with all kinds of interesting features that can be very handy. I know Numark has now put out even better model which also plays MP3's, but
this is not what I expect from this kind of equipment.
Double loops on each CD with smart looping function are great.
You can easily extend the best breaks in your music,also build in BPM counters are very versatile. I don't know if I have seen
any that worked so well as those-and they are fully automatic too.I know that Vinyl purists will snobber about this, but if you use CD's and want to start spini'n on a more serious scale,
thats definately the stuff that allows you to be creative on the same or even greater niveau as with vinyl.
