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.

Tbh mine was quite ok as well. there will always be different opinions.

I said i heard it. whatever that's worth. If it works for you that's all that matters.

Stuff is worth as much as people are willing to pay for it.

I'll say one thing: Pioneer CDJs shit on all the other makes.

If I had the money I'd buy a pair of 1000s in a second.

Personally I think they feel really weighty.

Just out of interest, if you don't like Pioneers which CD decks do you like?

five things keep prices up:

a. high cost of development and production
b. relatively small number of consumers (comapred with, say, # of people who buy dvd players or computers)
c. small number of producers of said product, since competition drives prices down
d. willingness of consumers to pay price...if they wouldn't or couldn't, prices would drop somewhat
e. companies exist to make profit off of production, not supply consumers with low-cost, high-quality goods
