Any Formula Sound FF-4000 users? Is it that better sounding than the rest or that's just a hype? Any shortcomings to point out?

I am also curious. For a mixer, they are pretty comfortable priced.

don't forget that they are now quite old, but yes, they do sound amazing...but not much better than a xone 62 or ecler macXX

I would rate the sound quality of any formula sound mixers above almost all others, having used one for a long long time and they are probably my favorite among all dj mixer brands.
If you can live without onboard FX or filters, not much will surpass one.
its not just about sound quality either, its build quality and "feel" is what makes these mixers so freaking nice to use.
Could never understand why the later Xones only have one filter - 2 just makes sense :-SThe 62 is lovely, but the EQs are weird. The low EQ has resonance when you turn all the way down. A bit annoying.

I have an FF6000 (with rotary faders), which I love. Sound quality is great (although I doubt there are significant differences between it and other top end mixers from A&H, Rane or Pioneer). What sold it to me was (1) the spacious, well thought out layout which makes it a pleasure to mix on and (2) external and internal build quality - the through hole circuit board design should make it easily and widely repairable long after more fancy digital mixers are scrap.
I've never used the FX loops so I can't comment on how easy they are to use, although it's nice to know the option is there.
