Mine was absolutely perfect If there's a question about the item, Musicians Friend won't even send it to you. I've got two blemished items from them, and both are in excellent shape. Usually, these items are just returns that had to be repackaged. And you have 45 days to figure out if you want to keep it

Originally posted by ChavezHype well youre the expert tranz. Which helps me somewhat more on my decision. I'm pretty much going to buy either: Pioneer DJM-600, Vestax PMC-37Pro or an Allen and Heath xone 32 (or possibly a 62). its just that I think that maybe the xone is too much for home dj use? Well I'll look to your recommendation. I know the vestax is directed more toward scratching, but I heard it was a solid mixer regardless.

ha, Vestax are POS. they were good last century literally, the 1998-99 models were quite good, but now, just a bunch of crap. We at djmart, even stopped carrying the brand. No parts available, especially the crossfaders, sound quality oops I what am I saying there is NO sound quality lol!, forget djm mixers exist, unless Pioneer changes it's way of thinking about not upgrading the units, all djm mixers will be absolete, everything is 24bit digital and up. I can get you Tascam in the mid $900s, Rane Empath for $820.00, Xone 32 for $620.00 or Xone62 for $1050.00 all NIB.

haha this is gonna sound like a commercial but...
WoW what a Deal!

Get the Heath! Get the Heath!!!

which one!!?

If money is tight, get the Heath XONE 32. If not, get the 62.

To bad you guys don't live in Europe (or al least some of you guys). If you don't want a mixer with all the bells and whistles, you really should check out Dateq, (http://www.dateq.nl). Those mixers are really good, and durable. They will cost a lot, but you will have a mixer for life. I guess that allen en heath are also good quality mixers (never worked on them ), but i hear stories over the djms, and the suck in de most of those stories. But if you live in Europe, please keep Dateq in mind to.

its too bad i don't live in europe...
just that money is a wee bit tight.

Anyone have anything good to say about the Roland DJ-2000 mixer??? Some asked if I was interested in it

I believe that Roland has discontinued that model and stopped making DJ mixers fot that fact. DJ2000 is even older than Pioneer DJM600, but between the two, I'd take the Roland DJ2000.

for Dateq person. Dateq mixers can only be purchased by someone who lives in Holland, they don't allow outside of the country sales. There was a post about a guy in Germany or England that wanted Dateq mixer and they said NO SALE outside of Holland. They are however, excellent mixers, but I think Allen and Heath mixers perform just as good and at a much cheaper cost, . Both mixers are made for big sound system, so I would not suggest getting A&H nor Dateq mixer for a bedroom DJ, unless you have an extremely loud and clean system. For a bedroom DJ, I suggest Rane Empath, Tascam X-9(personal favorite), Rane TTm56i(2ch)Numark PPD9000(to be released very shortly)

It is possible to get Dateq mixers in other countries, thanks to the invention of mailorder

Well I dont just wanna be a bedroom DJ, I want to learn in the bedroom, start getting some skills, when I feel Im good enough and confident enough with my mixing, I will hit the roads and see if I can snag some gigs.

Ok, then get a Rane empath or Tascam X-9, trust me either one you go with, you won't be dissapointed.

I only have one problem with that - money... I am saving up, and Im gonna buy Tech MKII's in the next week or so... just the Tech's is gonna cost me a good $500-600. Those mixers range from $500-$1000, depending on how nice the store or auctioneer is. But thanks for the suggestion, Im definitely gonna look into that when I have enough cash for the mixer. I was really interested in the DJM-600's, though Im almost totally convinced these are better mixers by the great reviews you guys give them. Thx alot!

Anytime, bro. But do forget about any djm mixers. They are crap. Our club uses djm600, it is a bit over a year old and it has been to repair shop more than a dozen times already. I think we are going to be getting the New Rane MP44 or possibly Allen and Heath Xone464(I'd really prefer this one)

Ive looked at the Tascam X-9 and the Allen & Heath's Xone32/62... they are both realllly expensive. Anyone have any suggestions on a quality temporary mixer that I can practice with and get better with so I can save up for the other mixers... hopefully the Xone62

Would the A&H Xone-02 or Tascam XS-8 be good for mixing trance/club music for now?

Not really, both of these mixers are made for turntabalist DJ, scratch-battle DJ that is. for Trance/Techno and as a temp mixer to learn on, I'd suggest getting a Behringer VMX300 which I can get you for USD $$$139.95(reg. price is $169.95) cause you are a fellow member. A much better mixer and IMO better one to learn on is a Numark Matrix 3 for around USD $279.95 this is the one I started with and still have it as a back up, has been used in good size clubs and performed beautifully.

The only reason why I asked is cause I found the Tascam XS-8 for $299.99... But thanks alot... Im gonna go check out the Numark and see what I can get it for.
