to Dennis (best Mixer):  so far, I haven't seen anything (in the normal price 
range that is) that can top the sound of a Urei or an OLD-SCHOOL 
Bozak....there is literally a huge difference between a Urei and any other 
popular mixer.  (Think Micheal Jordan at his peak....lots of other great 
players, but nobody close to him....same thing with the Urei).   If you 
decide against the Urei though, then all the sound quality of all the others 
is roughly the same to me.  I always assumed that the Rain 2016 would sound 
better than the Pioneer....but this was probably just psychological since the 
Rain looks a little like a Urei (rotary).....but Auggie from Soundfactory 
Systems (the guys that do sound for Wax, Deep, Etc.) told me he can actually 
get better sound from the Pioneer.   So, ultimately, it'll just come down to 
personal preference (price, effects, layout, etc.)  Good luck.

to dave ($6000 Allen & Heath): ya, i got invited to a small gathering in 
Miami where some reps from A&H got us drunk and then showed it to us.  Good 
thing they got us drunk first cause the prototype they had wasn't a working 
prototype....just the shell.....wack.  But we were all in an alcohol induced 
good mood so we didn't care too much.  But from what they explained it 
sounded like it's gonna be a good mixer.  But not really a DJ mixer....I mean 
the specs make it seem like it'll have great sound, but it's not gonna be 
real DJ friendly and it's riduculously expensive.....this will be more for 
the audiophile DJ.

to lars (Allen & Heath XONE):   ya, that's the one they have at 
Spundae.....and the one Q-Burns loves.....he's been raving about it since day 
1.  I'm starting to see it in more and more clubs (like you said, mostly in 
Europe though....but it's been popping up more and more at one-offs here in 
the US).  Here in LA, the Bodyrock DJ's use a few of them....and use them 
well.  Guess I better get more aquainted with it.
