Last night i went to my partners apartment to pick up a lollipop headphone from him. I asked him to give me one as a birthday present. When i get there i found out he made a mistake and put my Shure headphones in his bag. I was going crazy looking for them yesterday.

I got there and found out he went to a store in Saddle Brook called EZ Converter. They buy and sell all kinds of used stuff. They have some nice stuff there from laptops to DJ gear to cameras and so on.

He told me he went there and bought a used Numark CDN 88 in great condition for $100.00. When i first got back into DJing that was my first cd unit i used. I eventually sold it and bought 2 Pioneer CDJ 800's. Later on i bought 2 of the MK2 800's.

I bought the CDN 88 becasuse when i first met my partner playing in a bar that was what he was using. I know why he bought it because of what he's getting into now. He's gone back to using cd's to use to play in clubs that he can't use his laptop and HD. Me personally i wouldn't have bought it but that's on him.

He already has a Numark NS 7 and Mixtrack Pro. Great peice and at a great price for that CDN 88. Here are some pics of the unit with that garbage Behringer mixer. I used to play in a club that had one of those mixers. It's a peice of Sh**! If someone gave me one i would sell it to someone else. I hate that mixer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It loks like they were just trying to make a cheap mixer that would look somthing like a Pioneer mixer. It doesn't even come close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouls take an ax to that mixer.

A few of the guys on the board use that mixer (I believe Canute does) and I had one years ago .. not a bad mixer .. not a great one either, so I think someone would buy it before you took an axe to it.
 
I see you're getting the hang of the camera ... nice job. A couple critiques: 1) don't shoot too many images of the same thing (or at least don't post too many) and 2) practice getting things straight, especially gear shots .. and certainly if you're going to post them on your website.

Why would your partner not be able to use his laptop & HD at clubs?
He says there are certain places that won't let him use a laptop and HD. Also we don't use Serato with the box. I use VDJ with my Denon 6000 controller.

He talked me into switching to use a laptop, HD and controller. I stopped using cd's to mix with and can't see myself going back to using cd's. That's for me. He does what he does.
 
i had the numark cdn 88s a couple of years ago and it failed on me during a gig, good thing i had a back up.. all i have to say is stay away from numark

Sorry that you had that experience. Mine worked fine. My partner had his that the drive had to be replaced. That can happen with slide in cd draws. My Tascam cd recorder has that problem. I'm thinking of just replacing it with a new one since it's a few years old.
