Diki..., yes the DJX was amazing. Why they killed the line.., well we can speculate for days on that one Personally I think the release of the DJXII is what killed the whole line. Many previous owners (myself included) were very excited when we heard there was a second model coming out. There were even rumors that it was going to be a more pro orientated model too. Then they released that gawd awful 2nd version and it went to hell from there. They dropped the LCD for an LED..., made it a terrible color scheme, and they dropped touch sensitive keys. Yammie lost a huge amount of support for it after that. Personally I think Yamaha intentionaly shot themselves in the foot because the original did better than they expected and started to cut into the upper line. I remember reading music mags and looking at pro and private studios featured in articles and wouldn't ya know (during that time) the studio's had Yamaha DJX's

Bill I think you're WAY off on your point. Based on your response..., you're saying that everyone once they mature stick to the traditional styles. I know plenty of people in their mature years who listen to hip hop..., and have been diggin it since the start... Based on your response they're supposed to be listening to the oldies as they mature. Speak for yourself man.
