Although I do not own the CDJ-1000’s, I have used them when DJing at certain venues. At first I was skeptical as to how accurately they would mimic my SL-1200’s. However, I must say that after using the Pioneer CDJ-1000’s my doubt was lifted. Although they obviously have a different feel than a turntable, the CDJ-1000 CD Turntable are able do anything you can do on vinyl. If fact, the only difference is that the CDJ-1000 cannot skip. Even intense scratches such as tears, scribbles and drags can be performed with ease and sound just as they would on vinyl. I was also impressed by the digital effects of the CDJ-1000 CD Turntable. I especially liked the programmable cue points. They can actually be used as a mini sampler and therefore allow you to add more creativity to your mixes. You can even take a sample from one track and play it over another track on the same cd. - DJ Dino
