    Default New mixer question

    I have some basic 2 channel mixer Numark DM 1002 MX but faders seem gone and its very old with not so good sound. My first idea was to get A&H Xone:22, which seems very nice mixer. Any other mixer worth buying in that price range?

    I see some 4 channel Behringers and Numarks but I'm worried about quality. Possibly its better to take this xone:22 ?

    Best cheap mixers out there for me are the: Xone:22, DJ Tech X10, Denon DNX120.

    What about Behringer DJM4000 (http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/DDM4000.aspx) or NOX303 (http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/NOX303.aspx)?

    All around same price.

    Ok, after some research I have narrowed it down to either xone:22 or DDM4000. Can buy it for the exact same price. I think I'm gonna go for xone:22 as I need quality mixer and best sound out of it and I don't need effects and midi capabilities.

    Only thing I'm worried about is that I heard they can be flawed when bought. Some guys had problems with power connector on the back (maybe a lot of plugging/unplugging) and are there some more problems with them ?

    Also since it doesn't have power switch, it's not a problem to be always ON (I need it always on as I route all my computers, and music through it daily) ?

    If you don't mind buying used, you can pop upon some great deals if you look around (and have a bit of patience).

    I was able to score a Rane TTM-56 for $250, with about a 2 hour drive. But it's worth it imo.

    There are a lot of deals like that for more expensive mixers than people are moving on from for whatever reason. I wouldn't buy a cheap mixer used, but some of the nicer ones that you may think are out of your price range just might surprise you.

    I know what you mean but I live in a small country where chance of finding something decent the way you have done, is long gone. Believe me I tried.

    Had one guy selling xone:42 ( which I always wanted but out of my price range) second hand for the exact same price as it is in the music shop new with a warranty. And one guy selling xone22 for almost (~50 Euros cheaper) the same price as in music shop. Unreal really ...

    People here definitely like to put a big price tag on something old and used...

    Anyways I pretty much set on xone 22, but now one other mixer caught my attention: Vestax VMC-004XLu. It has 4 channels which I need , a lot of outputs, but Im interested in sound and build quality mostly and feeling for mixing techno. Anyone using this mixer ? Also what does XLu stands for ?

    Thanks in advance.

    ok, after a lot of thought and some tryouts (used vestax PMC-280) I finally set my mind on Denon DN- X1100 mixer. Anyone has any first hand experiences with it or anyone using Denon mixers to inform me if they have good sound and build quality ?
