I gave up vinyl in favour of CDs in the late 90s, moving to computer based DJing in around 2000/2001. Since I dropped the decks, I've gotten so used to play/cue buttons and pitch bend buttons, I'd forgotten how much fun it is to use vinyl.
On a bit of a whim, I bought a secondhand Numark CDX on Ebay the other day for £155, and it arrived this morning. Burned a timecode CD, hooked it up to my MK2, and I've been playing non stop for the last 4 hours!
Now I've got a U46DJ soundcard on order off Ebay (£68, thankyou), and am looking for a second CDX unit. Also planning to completely rebuild my console around the CDXs, my DAC-2 and external mixer, with a PC upgrade that will handle video, effects and timecode all at once. This could quickly become expensive! Boys & their toys eh.... ;-)

No worries Gary, managed to fix my laptop after it went up in smoke the other week... that means between us we have 3 computers, 5 cd players and 2 turntables... I think we're covered for monday nights! ;-)
