    Default Best used mixer for under $500

    Hi! I recently started DJing vinyl at a few venues, usually I use the venue's turntable/mixer gear. but i want to buy my own set up so that i can play more venues.

    what is a good mixer that i can find used for under or around $500? I see a lot of the older pioneer mixers (DJM 400/DJM 500) for $200-300, but it sounds like they have pretty bad sound quality. Having four channels would be nice, but not a requirement.

    What pioneer models have consistently good sound quality? What about the Denon or Rane mixers? Or are there any other brands/models I should be looking at?

    Thank you!!

    Also would you buy a used mixer, sight-unseen (e.g. on eBay)? I know some of the older mixers can have a lot of wear and tear, especially if they were in a club. What signs do you look for to make sure the mixer is in good condition?

    You can buy a DN-X1600 for that, loved it to death until the built in scratch-certified soundcard stopped working with recent versions of Mac OS.
