Hello,

(I've posted this on the Pioneer forums too)

I'm thinking about replacing my Denon DNS 3700's, and since Denon just announced SC3900, which is very similar to my DNS3700 I've decided to go with CDJ 2000. My question is: do you anticipate Pioneer will release newer model od CDJ 2000's (CDJ 2000 MK2 or CDJ 3000, or something along those lines) soon???

CDJ 2000 has been around for almost 3 years, and the reason I'm asking is because I don't wanna spend $3K on new decks, if in few months Pioneer might release an upgrade.

I tried to research their hardware release cycle online: CDJ 1000 was released in 2001, CDJ 1000 MK2 in July of 2003, CDJ MK3 in March of 2006, CDJ 2000 in September (announced)/December (available) of 2009... so following that logic should we expect the new flagship deck soon? maybe by the end of this year???

You guys are the experts, so please put in your 2c. thanks!!!

The bottom line is that no one knows but Pioneer.

There's been a rumor of a MK2. But that's all it is, a rumor. Judging by their typical product cycle, it's a solid bet.

I'm not really in too big of a hurry...I'd rather wait to the end of the year and go with the new model then to spend all that money now....unless I decide to go medieval on my Denons, lately they've been acting funky..

I would wait it out if you aren't in a serious rush. I'd be PISSED if I bought CDJ2000s just to have a new model come out. However, with technology, something bigger and better is always coming down the pipeline. Buy shit when you need it. Hold off if you don't. I needed a new MBP even though the new ones should be out in a couple of months. If you wait around for new stuff you'll always be waiting.
