my only complaint about the Xzone is it physical set up. i have used one twice and the were the channel gains are at is dumb imo they are on the back face plate. there were also no kills, which for sucked, i was playing electro both times and really wanted kills. but for not having the "scratch mixer" features the volume curves on the channels was like a scratch mixer. but having saying this once i got used to the mixer i know i would love it.
my problem with the djm 500 or 600 i they are cheaply built. they dont sound all that bad. they get fuzzy in the high end, i suspect cheap pre-amps. but if you sre going to spend that much cash you should get something that will last. i bought a stanton sk-2f it's very clean sounding straight forward 2 ch, 3 band ch eq's, assingable curve on the cross-fade and ch faders. balanced and rca outs. i've never had a problem with mine, but i had a friend who had problems with his. i think he beat it to hell though, he loaned it to everyone on earth and was/is a "fader masher". i won't let him use mine. so i sent two hundred dollars and it is very clean sounding, cleaner then a dmj 500, if it breaks it will meet the trash and i will get a new one. scotto lansing, mi plaztikjezuz.com
