I've had this mixer for 5 or 6 years - it's now somewhat outdated but still works great. I originally bought it to practice being a radio dj but since I don't do that now, this mixer has been sitting around collecting dust. I was recently going to sell it until I discovered a cool alternate use for it: I have my Sansa Fuze MP3 player connected to it and MP3's sound quite analog through this mixer, even better and more alive than through my big Sherwood receiver. This thing is great as a headphone amp - I actually forget that I'm listening to compressed music files. Additionally, I've never had any technical issues with this mixer and it's extremely easy to use (no computer involved!)
