A KJ friend of mine, still disc based KJ asked for my advice. The karaoke store where he gets all his cdg's for years has offered him a big discount on a demo hardly used Cavs JB-199 II Premier 500GB with "Minus One" karaoke cdg package for $1,800. Actual price new is $2,495.

He doesn't care about the songs already in the machine since he will transfer his own SC, CB, PH, PockSongs, etc. (I think Minus One is way down below in the cdg totem pole quality). I told him I cannot give him any advice on this because I'm not familiar with this new unit.
My first was the first generation Cavs. I didn't like it at all. The song graphics does not correspond with the music itself. In other words, the words light up before the music and it always throws me off. But they say they've come a long way and already ironed out the kinks.
I myself am using a laptop/Sax&Dotty program for about 6 or 7 years now. Ok you guys, please don't tell me to change to a better one like, Compuhost, Karma, AutoKJ, etc., because this works for me and I am really happy with it.
Also, he is dead-set on having this unit because his rig has a rack space that needs to be filled with this size unit. Anyway, I told him I will post this and I will tell him what the pros will say. Let me hear the positives & the negatives.
