| There are plenty of great mixers in that price range. Especially if you buy used. Allen and Heath Xone:32, Ecler Nuo 3, Vestax PVC-275 are some solid 3 channel examples. |

honestly, there is really no need to be buying an Allen and Heath mixer or even a nice Pioneer if you're just using it at home. You're goal at home is to perfect djing. You don't need a club mixer to do that. When I started djing I ran out and bought a Xone 62, then a DJM 600, then a Xone 92...all wastes of money. I'm back to my original Denon DX400 that I got 5 years ago and its still hanging tough.
As long as your mixer is still functional, I'd look into picking up some cd decks personally. |

My moto is, if you're having fun. But obviously I'll say this as my first mixer was a PCV 275, and I've just (last wednesday) purchased a Xone 92
I know exactly what you're saying though. There is no need to buy anything like a Xone 92. I could have bought an Ecler Nuo2 as i only have two sources. But I chose to buy a Xone 92 because in the end of the day I believed my end goal would be to play on one of these and seeing as I probably wont be playing out that much I would give myself the opportunity to play on one by purchasing one.
It makes no sense.
But what I think the guys on here always try and do is save people money by telling them to just go for it and pay the money now rather than starting off with a Behringer, moving on to a Gemini, then Numark, Pioneer DJM 600, and then you basically start mixing and matching between the Ecler, Rane's, A&H, Pioneer, and whatever other mixers you want to put up there.
The advice isn't suited to everyone but in the end they're trying to help rather than say "You need to get this mixer" it's more a "Save yourself some money and start at the top because you'll probably want one of these at some stage if you really like this hobby/job.
