Whichever mixer you get, I suggest that you look for key features and then make a discission. I would suggest that you get at least a three channel mixer (unless you are absolutely sure that you will never use the third channel for another deck (TT or CD). I would definitely make sure that each channel had its own volume LEDs and that you can adjust between the cue and master volume in your headphones. Look for a frequency range of at least 20Hz-20,000Hz and and any other features that you would like.
Some examples are replacable crossfaders, crossfader curve selector, effects, BPM counter, kill switches, record out etc.
I think that you'll find comparing mixers much easier if you look at the features that they come with instead of people saying "this sucks" or "this is the ultimate mixer!" etc. Most people here have only a limited experience with maybe two to three mixers at the most. Granted, some have more, but what are the chances that they have used and can compare the mixers that YOU are interested in? Start a comparison sheet for the different mixers in your price range. Go to the webpages of each company and see what is in your price range. Then start eliminating from there.
Here is a list of most major Mixer manufacturers:
allen heath
American DJ
berhringer
gemini
numark
Pioneer
Rane
stanton
vestax
I'm sure there are others, but these are all of the major ones that I could think of, with links to their websites too! Enjoy!
