This, a zillion times. I would add that when you live abroad as I do and you regularly move, everytime you relocate is a total nightmare/costs you a fortune because of all these fucking records...

I still haven't managed to get rid of my vinyl addiction though... :?

However, I'm planning on moving again in few months time, and this time I'm really thinking of getting rid of some of them... I just have too many!!!

I did, when I didn't have a choice... Now that I make a decent living, I tend not to. I know, that's foolish :oops:

Does anyone else find the pitch fader on cdjs doesn't have enough give to it. I always move it too far by accident. They just feel far too plasticy and cheap to me

My only real issue with CDJs is the flimsy pitch

Well with digital you can set up cue points, plus you have the ability to cut it much earlier until you are ready to mix the tune then just press play.

All that melts away when the lights are down and the bass is up.
