My DM-3000X sounds very decent (hooked up to very nice amp and good speakers). Like I said I did have one problem with my channel 3 phono stage suddenly getting a lot of extra background noise after a few months. My crossfader is not in great shape but I don't use it anymore anyway. The upfaders have not died on me yet (when they do I will probobly upgrade the mixer) but I spin mostly prog these days with some trance, which means I do end up making very slow changes to the faders. More recently the cue fader knob is starting to leak, if I put it all the way to the cue side, the master leaks through a little. This only happens when I jam the knob to that said and is not that big a deal because I can go a little more to the master side and it will fix the problem.

In the end I think it is a very decent first mixer which can be found super cheap online. If cost is an issue I would deffinitly recommend the 3000X mixer over the 3002X because it is so similar and is usually way cheaper. Main thing I miss from my 3000X with the 3002 has is the level lights for each channel.
