**Buying a used Mixer: XONE 22 VS Pioneer DJM 250 VS ???** Hey all, This is my first thread, so if I’m breaking any rules/conventions, feel more than free to correct me! Now, on to the matter at hand.. I’m looking to buy a 2 channel mixer. As for now, I mainly want one to hook up my turntable\>\>mixer\>\>yamaha HS8 monitors. However, ultimately (soon), I plan on buying a 2nd turntable so it should also be well-suited for mixing. Some points of attention.. -No preference for anything particular, although **balanced (XLR) outputs are a must** (to connect directly into my active speakers) -Budget is €200 max - I’d like to go for something inbetween the 120-200ish range, and I’d prefer to go **used** -I mainly listen to electronic stuff, techno, house, etcetera, if it makes a difference -Willing to go and actually prefer used -Models I’m currently looking at: –A&H XONE 22 (Currently looking at a used one for €150) –A&H XONE 23 (arguably, It’ll cost me a little over €200) –Pioneer DJM 250 -I’m using vinyl, if it makes a difference -I’d prefer a simple unit, so no fancy effects etcetera.. Just something with the basic features that’ll do the job I’d also like to see some elaboration i.e. why you think mixer x is better than mixer y, etcetera, rather than just “buy this one”. I appreciate all input/suggestions! Thanks in advance.
