Can't go wrong with A&H. I still have a Xone 464 which is huge and pretty useless by modern standards but it still sounds amazing.

EQ response is miles better than on a Pioneer. I still work on Pioneers when I play clubs, but the skills are so transferable as they have pretty much the same layout so having a touch of luxury at home is always nice.

My A&H is nearly 15 years old.

Cheers
Nem

The 42 is an analog mixer

Haha yea I was jamming with a friend the other day and he has an older DJM 600 and the master volume is a fader rather that a knob

I remember back in 1997, my mate who had more money than sense, sent me on a mission to get him a DJM 500 which hadn't been released yet.

I somehow found one through a DJ store in central london that had got their hands on one from Japan, 6 months early, and mate paid a disgusting sum for it.

Quite possibly the only one in consumer hands at that time.

I'll admit it was fun to play on and the payout was good, but that was where my hatred for Pioneer mixers began.

The sound quality was less than my Vestax PCV 275 which was 1000 pounds less.

Worst of all, after three months of careful use (still before they were released), the headphone pot started to go. Then the master fader started going.

By two years in, the thing was virtually unusable.

Now maybe it was a pre production model and that's why is disintegrated so badly, but then when I was selling DJ equipment, it really didn't get much better. At least pioneer weren't to shitty about returns.

But the main reason I got my PMC 55 is the layout; so fucking good and the quality is incredible.
