Depending what you're looking for, Pioneer is renowned for making the best digital turntables out there and are very popular in the club scene. The CDJ-2000 is the best and most expensive turntable for around $2200 new, $1800 used. It comes fully featured with a LCD colour screen, hot cues and loops, full jog wheel control and tempo control, as well as the ability to work with Pioneer Rekordbox software. The CDJ-900 (produced the same year as the CDJ-2000) is not as fashionable, however it is an extremely good player for its price at $1300 new, $1000 used. It links into the Rekordbox software so you can load all your tracks on the go VIA USB stick or through a LAN computer to the computer. Instead of hot loops/cues, its instant loops that range from 1/16 to 8/1 beats. It has "Slip Mode" which is designed so that when enabled the song can be tampered with loops, scratches and flips of the reverse without having to beat-match again to the second track. All-in-all the best CDJ is the 2000, however the best for budget is the 900. It's your pick.
