In Response To: newbie re sony master/slave- in what respect? (tom)

Advantages of Master/Slave:

- They share single input on receiver and do so nicely. (CDJ also manages this)

- with the title/track info on the higher end ones, you can slave a cheap/stupid one (I have a CX270/CX200 pair). The CX270 has memory for 400 disks and does appear to allow groups across.

- given the above, my spouse appreciates being able to walk up to the master, sort-by-artist and scroll thru looking for a CD without having to remember what player its in.

- X-fade is awkward, but my experience so far is that master/slave ping-pong is timed a bit better when Sony does it than when CDJ does... am I doing something wrong?

What I don't yet understand is why slink-e has problems with master/slave configs at all? Can't it just treat the master as a single, 400 disk player and send all commands to it? This would avoid collisions with the slave.

Finally, thanks again to colby for CDJ and thanks to the authors of both covers and cdj2ccf... I really got significant use out of both!
