[slinkelist] Trying to understand cross-fading requirements

[AndyStein@aol.com]

    What players are you using? When I attempt to use CDJ to run my players 
in master-slave mode (a 270 controlling a 250 and a 90ES controlling a 225), 
the master player overrides any selection I make on the slave with CDJ.  
About one per cent of the time, I manage to play a track from a slave player 
with CDJ, but I cannot explain why it works.  It seems random.

    David and Colby, is there a chance that you might build a few of the 
circuits you have posted on your site? I would like to control three pairs of 
Sony players from Slink-e and CDJ, so, from what I understand, the circuit 
needs a slight modification.

    Thank you.

 I've had my two players in master/slave for over a year, and you're right, 
it isn't 100% reliable, but it is 99% reliable.  Now that I have a DXS, I am 
thinking about implementing the s-link switching circuit suggested by Colby 
(and documented on the Nirvis website http://www.nirvis.com/masterslave.htm). 
 Will this give me the additional 1% reliability?  Have any other of you 
Slink-e Weenies had good success with the s-link switching circuit?
 
 Thanks,

 Unfortunately CDJ will not operate reliably with the players in a 
 master/slave configuration.
