are pioneer ripping people off ?

[ERROR404]

I read some bad things about the djm-600; when it was used at MAYDAY they modded them with external power supplies because internal ones weren't shielded or something. I also heard the parts used were just about the cheapest one can find. Not the worst mixer on earth, had it myself but things like the eqs really suck etc. I quite like the layout, though. They are simple.

Well i've had one of the original (metal case) DJM600s for over 6 years now and it is in perfect working order, even after the eq and fader abuse that techno normally takes its toll on mixers... i have never come across a mixer as robust as the DJM600.. I've seen Vestax and A&H pack up after a couple of years, noone i know with a DJM has ever had any problems with them..

I can't really comment on the CDJs but i think the DJMs are worth their weight in gold.
