In Reply to: Re: dj equipment frustration- bad sound quality posted by servojohn on June 21, 2006 at 08:59:24:
The Numark CDN 25 goes to a Numark CM100 4 channel mixer. I'm using my Grado 80's as headphones out of the Numark mixer. I don't yet have a PA and I'm kind of afraid to hook them up to my NAD/B&W living room setup..I understand that quality costs, but considering I have a $60 DVD player in the bedroom that sounds better, I was expecting more.. you know.. even run of the mill consumer cd changers have sounded better. Who knows, maybe the Numark has an awful headphone output..but this hiss seems associated with the indivudual fader levels..and the pops happen when the cue button is pushed..etc..
Follow Ups:
it's possible, too, that the headphone op-amp just stinks, if that's your only amp out right now! those things are notoriously crappy sounding-- especially if it's just designed for cueing, not listening..
did you run the mixer through an amp out yet? the sitch may not be so dire!

The Nm has a piece of crap headphone amp
You would be correct on thatGet some decent loudspeakers
You can spend a ton of money or get something that will
do the job below 1000.00Currently Musicians Friend is running a good price on JBL self powered
EonsThe 15" will give you some bass response without a sub
I'm just playing it through the master out into my living room integrated amp now and it's a lot cleaner. It's not high-end hi fi, but it's not the crap coming out of the headphone amp. I can't believe a dj mixer, even if it's a cheaper one, would have such a rinky-dink headphone amp!!I still think the numark dual cd player should sound at least as good as a mass market dvd player, and it doesn't quite get up there. I think it's jitter..it's just harsh. Then again, it has less than two hours of use..
