There was a surprising number of experienced players who bought the DJX solely because it was SO unique and damn cheap for what it did and how it sounded.


Yeah, I guess I should really take into account the regional differences with this sort of gear.

There is only a small community of users as you describe...my region is steeped in Celtic, Celtic Rock, Country, R&B and quite a bit of Jazz...even Karaoke was very slow getting here ...very traditional place, yet fairly broad in musical tastes, considering.

The DJX did sell very well, all the same...the users were almost an "underground" here, and it's only in the last decade, that "dance music" was an integral part of the scene.
