    Not being able to get close to the Dj annoys the hell out of me.

    Personally, I like to see a Dj work with vinyl. I have no problems if he
    uses cd's *sometimes*... but it'd take away from the experience to watch a
    whole set with cd's, infact i'd be bored watching a dj if all he was playing
    were cd's. Now if the DJ happened to be playing some new *new* type stuff
    (i.e. a new or fresh sound) I could care less what form it comes in.
