I use it since December 2011, bought used in excellent condition.
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
I tried the Pioneer models and frankly nothing to do, as many say now Pioneer models are not worth the S4. While in the beginning I wanted to take a Pioneer. The only point where the Pioneer is above the waist with a slightly more comfortable ergonomics.
What is so special that you love the most, least?
What I love most:
-The seamless integration with Traktor. It is very stable, it does not crash and never on my two configs: A desktop Core 2 Duo E7400 4 GB of ram and a modest Samsung 4 GB Ram T5200 Centrino Duo.
Then, contrary to other opinions, I found the finish very good, despite the plastic, but it is quality and assembly is perfect. Flat, the shiny part of the mix is more fragile in appearance and also very messy.
-The Jogs are quite small but very high precision. I do not use the Sync feature (I have the vinyl so this function would be to ban me!) Jogs therefore not serve me wrong timing.
Its size, although for me it is a fault, but for most people is a quality size. Indeed it is lightweight and easy to carry.
-The effects easier to control on the correct part.
-The price! Frankly € 800 for a complete mixing so that not even a CDJ 850 for this price! Both say now, we did more with a solution like this one with a pair of CDJ ... Frankly € 1,700 in 2000 to qualify for a Hot Cue is just abused! There was € 800 for it all!
-The level meters per channel, handy!
What I like least:
-Its size (for me), I'll dream of a more airy space and jogs a little bigger. And a screen plate on each part.
-The Sync button, all you need to avoid having one of the bases of the mix, the timing by ear! I remove this stuff quickly!
No-kills on Eqs, shame!
-The headphone amp just a little power.
-Direct access to change the filter type. I love Allen & Heath tables ...
How would you rate the quality / price?
Very very good, it's stable, cheap, complete, portable and fairly well built, what more?
With experience, you do again this choice?
Without a doubt! But I expect to see future versions. I would be able to separate virtual turntables. So get real decks would be 4 feet. Then why not inclined screens to control effects to clear this part of the laptop? I want the biggest and Jogs ergonomics and more journal aired on a more upscale, leaving the choice in the range of S2/S4 and S8 So for the next?
