@Alex > Given the amount of questions we had on this very subject prior to BPM last October I asked some of the DJs there what they thought of the crossfader. While not all of them were able to compare to the TTM or the Innofader, they were scratch DJs and found it very robust and responsive. Here's the Pioneer spiel: "Our new channel faders are smoother and more durable than ever before, thanks to 2 metal shafts supporting the fader knobs. The fader is positioned to the side, minimizing damage from liquid or dust that can get inside. The DJM-T1 crossfader has an exclusive Pioneer magnetic construction that provides extreme durability, and can be used more than 10 million times, while Pioneer P-LOCK Fader Caps are impossible to pull off in the heat of a mix."
