I believe the title says it all....

..I'd like to get some of your opinions on analog dj mixer (basic) (eqs / volume faders /master /cue<>master / line selection) - no whistles and effects - sound quality is the most important part for me. found this

http://www.rodec.com/ MX2200

but it is kinda pricey.... I know a&h cant be the only ones for under 1k or are they?

I'll take anything in the Nuo series over anything in the Pio DJM series for sound. They're big, warm, full, and handle well when one unwittingly pushes them into the red. They actually have more input/output options than the DJMs as well.

The full-kill EQs with big, fat luxurious knobs are heavenly. Unlike a lot of isolators on other mixers, these have a very nice and gentle roll-off/on.
this mixer looks great, def believeing about it i wonder how does it compare to xone42

If you shop smart, it's out there for about 450 euros. It's a great solid piece of gear , all be it the knobs are a little on the small side compared to pioneers.
I looked at that technics mixer years ago, how is sound quality ? did you ever had a chance to closely compare it with others?

anything in the current days that all of you can suggest?
i dont need any effect at all, just nice analog sounds to be used when playing with vinyl.

i have the DJM800 but oh man playing the vinyl records sounds awfully 'clean & sterile' with it..
last time i used to have the Vestax PMC 07 scratch mixer..but i get rid of it, now i regret it when i believe about it

It may not be devoid of bells and whistles, but I <3 the analog section of my Xone 3D.

I always LOVED the sound of the Vintage Urei rotary mixer with the optional EQ box. Note not the reissue soundcraft one.
