12" dubs are louder and have better sound quality than 10"

I think the original reason that everyone in Dubstep seemed to use 10" was because of the price

yes, my cdj 400 has a usb slot. I prefer it to cds because cds always seem to skip, jam or generally play up.

I prefer vinyl but some stuff, especially funky & grime, you can't get on vinyl

i use ten inch dubs, mostly for the price, the 12s do sound good though

Strictly vinyl/dubplates
always played with vinyl ever since I started DJ'ing and couldn't imagine it doing it anyway else.. would feel like cheating on myself or something :lol: crappy thing is that my mate who I play with b2b a lot of times does play cd's and I tend to always fuck up the mix when I'm mixing from cd to vinyl.. just can't get to find peace with those cdj's..

I have 2 Gemini cdj 20's which are probably pushing 6 year old now
and they still work fine , i used to cut dubplates but when i think of the cash i spent over the years on them i realised i could have bought a car sooner

got a pair of pioneer 800's... It was sad to stop buying vinyl, but I couldn't afford it any more. I'm still doin my thing with my CDs. I'm not ashamed any more, I'm just glad I have the memories of being a vinyl junkie for 10 years. Never getting rid of my wax, so I'll always have the memories. I'm Just getting with the times. Sticking with CDJs until they make Serato a little easier to hook up. There's nothing like the touch of a 1200. :!:
