    I dj w/:

    2-CDJ-700s
    1-DJM-500
    1-1200M3D
    1-TT1

    Wouldn't want to have it any other way:

    seamless loops of any length (w/live endpoint manipulation), ±16%
    pitch, with or without tone lock;

    loads of cool effects on the mixer (sure I wish I had a 600 or,
    what're they up to, 700-- not as bad as computer chipspeed, though!);

    78rpm & auto-reverse capability on the (otherwise inferior) TT-1;

    Can switch-hit as need be between vinyl & discs
