I was lucky enough to get this second hand from DJ Skully, who competed in the DMC DJ World Championships. I have used a few mixers but the quality of this one is unrivalled. It's a simple, no-nonsense 2 channel mixer that is fantastic for cutting and scratching. The fader glides very well and the curve control has a wide range allowing to change up your mix depending on what you want to do. It goes very well with my Technics 1210 mkII's, has RCA output and XLR as well. The volume gauge helps you to protect your speakers, and also looks very cool when you are mixing in the dark. If you are into your scratching and beat juggling, I would definitely recommend this mixer. Cannot comment on value for money as I got mine second hand (was £200 for me 3 years ago)
