Sl-dz1200 vs dns3700 vs cdj1000

[Will MaXimal]

Here we go...


So i am getting closer to my decision on what deck to purchase.


So far its between the CDJ1000... The DNS3700 and the SL-DZ1200.


The DNS3700 is on top, following the SL-DZ1200 then the CDJ.


I love the moving platter idea so thats why they are on top. Although the SL-DZ1200 is an older deck so i am not sure how it compares to newer decks in terms of hardware... I have heard mixed things but they seem to be really cool.

The DNS3700 has a lot of function and is a newer deck so it might have newer hardware.

The CDJ 1000 mk2/mk3 are dubbed "Reliable" but thats it... Solid deck but thats not the deal breaker for me.


I am looking to scratch a bit and i love a large platter. I want something that is reliable, and something that is responsive. No lag in scratching or anything like that.

The SL-DZ1200 is a total pile of shit for scratching, avoid it like the plague. I've heard that the DN-SC3900 blows the DN-S3700 away, but I am still waiting for my local GC to get some 3900s in stock so I can try one out.

Yea not sure i have not been able to try one out yet!

The SL-DZ has a bunch of issues. Don't quote me on this but i believe you have to disengage some type of feature, i think key lock in order to scratch.

Plus as mentioned above, the platter sucks.

Read reviews and watch youtube reviews of each equipment.

there is a youtube video comparing the 3 and the techs come out as being total crap.

If you can settle for the 1000 (no moving platter) you might also look into the SC2900.

Contrary to what people say this says a lot ask any turntablist. I guess I should order my sensei haus vinyl for them but they still work without them.
