I'm not gonna lie. I want a pair of those 6000M's :-)

Yeah, I was sooo close to buying the SC5000s a few years back, but instead went w' NXS2s. But, this updated player seriously has me considering making the switch. We'll see if Pioneer FINALLY update the NXS2s next week at NAMM. If not, I think my decks will be sold and replaced by a pair of SC6000s.

The 6000's are super clean. I am eyeballing that Denon Go for track prep on the "go" tho. I am looking forward to seeing what the final price points will be. With the price drops on the last set of units shortly after release, it might be smart to wait a couple months before buying.
