Default FAO any djs

i need a new mixer as mine was never much good. and has also started to play up.

looking at spending around £100 could stretch a bit more if need be.

any advice on what to get or where from?

ive always been told vestex mixers were the best. but im not a hard core dj, its just a hobby really.

ive seen a few on hard to find records but not really sure what to go for.

any adivce?

I have a pioneer 300...Probably a bit out of your price range but they're tough mixers! Taken 5odd years of abuse and still sounds spot on!

DJM600

Isn't there a make that makes copys of pioneer mixers?

I've always avoided Gemini mixers like the plauge. Hate em.

In the budget range numark seem to be the best.

I got this for sale for £40 if anyone is interested. Xfader is a bit crackly but still works... i think!

Fair enough mate, i hated my numark, when i went to bring in the other deck i had no way of checking the volume, so it was ether crashing in or not loud enough. Sold it and bought a second hand Technic one (the black and gold one) for £100 was the dogs knob!!

You must abuse your mixer worse than EZ

Not really, considering he goes through about a fader per set My DJM600 has a slight channel problem (or so I think) I need to get it looked at really....
