I'm in a beautiful dilemma

I've decided its time for me to upgrade my mixer from a DJM-600 to either a DJM-800 or a Xone92. can't make up my mind on which to get really. they're both great on paper and aestetically(sp?) pleasing. lookin at the Xone i am worried about the curve of the channel faders - i know they are logarmetic but can they be adjusted so they are simply linear? if not i will probably go with the DJM-800.



also im selling 2 Numark TTXs and my DJM600 (all in mint condition) for £650 - does this sound like a fair deal?

Whats wrong with the DJM 600? I can see selling TTXs, as they suck, but DJM 600? There's a lot of people and clubs that still use this mixer and it's solid, I really don't see why you really need to upgrade unless it gets so worn out or breaks and would rather just buy a new mixer then get it repaired...but don't see why u would need to upgrade from this thing. It's still quite expensive....

first off i think the TTXs are great decks and secondly i agree with your opinion on the DJM600. its a great mixer, a real work horse but there are better mixers on the market which give better sound quality. the club i DJ in uses a 500 but its very unreliable (lots of drinks spilled on it) so i tend to bring my own mixer out. while i cant fault the quality of the sound it produces it tends to give more emphasis to the lower frequency and not enough to the mids and highs

Ok thats fine then. I just hate the TTXs, i owned them for 2 years, one started acting up around 6 months, and I just used it in my room, didn't transport it that often. And the other was starting to act up before I sold them. I only got $400 out of them. Only really worth $200 each used...They don't hold up quite as nice as a Technics does.

Never had any problems with mine, and I've used them more or less every day for 2 years now.

You probably got a good batch then, the ones I got were probably left overs from the first batch of TTXs released that had problems with the motor over-heating. The one that gave out after 6 months was for sure one of those, the one after two years...probably because it was so dusty. I never cleaned them....and now I baby my CDJs...

This is a great debate.. I would say this, if you have the capability to hook up your CDJ's digitally, then definately go with the DJM-800. You will get the best sound quality that way. Also, if you use any kind of effects, the 800 blows the 92 away. Otherwise, the 92 is a fantastic mixer. The faders are amazing to play with and it sounds great. I will have the 800 as soon as it is released, hopefully end of the week. Once I get it, I will post a review about it.

being torn between the two myself i know that i like the idea of being able to hook up my 1000's digitally and record my mixes digitally with the the 800... as well you can assign pretty much everything (including the upfaders) to midi on the 800... the thing is...


I hear so many people swear by the "colouring" of the sound that the x92 provides that i am extremely tempted to go that route

both mixers are extremely well built and reliability wise... there is pretty much no issue here

tough tough decision
