Used DJM-800 or New DJM-900 NXS ?

[MaxOne]

New rane mixers are so over priced imo - knobs and faders very plasticy to the touch.

DJM 850 is more than decent but i'd always be tempted to put up the little extra and just get a DJM900

It's Rane hardware... They don't put plastic in critical break points, and their equipment is pretty much indestructible. Im not really sure how odd caps can put off absurd durability.

The 900 is a bit of a stretch if you don't use CDJs. The xpad is fun, but not really worth the $300 in the long run.

I use 1200's mainly with SSL. I don't scratch yet. Something I just haven't had the time to dedicate to yet, but it's on my list. I DO plan on getting CDJ's in the future, because at some point I'd love to lose the computer.

I really do like Rane mixers, but the 92 also seems to hold up rather well. I can't justify the cost of the Rane mixers either, and if I was going to get one, I'd need a 4 channel mixer. If I was going to spend the amount for a 68, I might as well just buy a DB4... and that's not happening anytime soon.

850 or 92 it's looking like so far.

These are my opinions.

Personally, I think the 850 will sound better than the 92 but i like digital, lossless mixers. Unless you want the colour / distortion a xone 92 brings, and you might.

xone 92 mixer is over 10 years old vs 850 which is just a year

850 has a built in soundcard

850 is scratch certified

850 has post fader fx (echo teasing a tune is nice for flicking in and out with faders, trust me)

850 has good headphone cuing

850 has adjustable channel fader curve, xone you are stuck with an odd curve imo

850 is more like a 900 which you will probably find in clubs.

dunno i could maybe go on but thats just me

Can I ask what happened to the 800? odds are it is fixable
