Nothing really quite compares to Pioneer for the industry standard, at the moment.

If you really wanna check out some alternatives, I'd suggest the Denon CDJs with the rotating platter :D

As for mixer, that's not my main area of expertise, but I've been called a "Pioneer *****" more than once :D :D :D

The type of mixer you want really depends on your mixing style and how deep you really want each mix to be. For trance, check out ones with 4-band EQ's (high mid low-mid low), and for other less complex styles go with the standard 3-band EQ (high mid low). You don't really need to go spend a bunch of money on a Rane or Xone:92 mixer, since those are usually in clubs by default.

Just my $0.02

How much would one of those be? I was thinking of saving up for one of these:http://www.zzounds.com/item--STAC304

Do you know how it would stack up when compared to the Pioneer?

Ahah, I found one! http://www.zzounds.com/item--PNRCDJ1000MK3

at 1,300 USD though, I'm going to have to probably go with the Stanton one (http://www.zzounds.com/item--STAC304). Does anyone have any experience with it?
