Im gonna buy an EFX 500 soon too, as i said in another thread, im gonna have a Vestax DJM 500(lol, efx has the same fx that djm does...)

Posted by JohnSmith on May-10-2002 00:15:

hmm..

i'm not going to bother with effects, the songs are good enough as is.

why didn't you just buy a djm500 if you wanted effects?

Posted by DJ TranceFormer on May-10-2002 00:19:

Cuz i like vestax, and it will be cheaper to get efx and pcv 275 separately than buying a djm 500...

Posted by JohnSmith on May-10-2002 01:00:

hmm...

touche

what kind of carts did you get?

Posted by DJ TranceFormer on May-11-2002 04:57:

sux, sry to hear that

Hey, DJ Tranceformer, you stole my gear!

Just kidding. Nice setup! I've got the exact same everything. (The blue Ortofon's kick ass, don't they!)

So how much is the Pioneer EFX-500, and where r u buying from?

Also, how tall is the table holding your equipment? I'm worried that the table I'm using is too short. It's causing me fatigue after an hour or so of mixing.

wow cool... sweet setup... I got a question!

You had a stanton RM3S before if I remember - which I have now... I like it, but it's also the only mixer i've really used more than a day or two here and there ...

The PCV275 is very similiar in features... but my question: how does the PCV275 compare to the RM3S (as far as the faders, eq, quality, etc) ???

I'd like to hear what you think of the PCV275 vs the RM3S

TIA,
-mer

They all come back to the good ol' PCV-275
Anyway, nice gear, get something to cover your mixer when you are not using it, it gets dust real fast.

EDIT:
I Wouldnt put the volium faders so high if I were you...
Unless you are using flat EQ, try to avoid passing the +3 DB meter.

Sure did, but I said that i was gonna return it. The thing that i didn't like about it was the faders and it doesn't have a DB meter for the CUE CH. Faders on rm3s kindda suck because you just bring it a little bit up, and the sound is already pretty loud (for liike 3 bars) On Vestax it's much better. Faders on rm3s wear out much quicker than they do on Vestax mixers(the PCV, not PMC) Stanton = 10,000 pases; Vestax = 2,000,000 pases
Also Vestax has better and smoother EQs IMO, and it has 2 outputs for your headphones, one on the side and one in the same place that RM3s has it. Well that's pretty much it, hope this answers your question.
One more thing is that Vestax is better than Stanton

Im gonna get it on eBay for about US$300
And yes, the whole set up is amazing, not only the carts
I belive that my table is 72 CMs, which is a regular height of this kindda tables. It's pretty small for me, but I can't do anything, i'm just gonna put something underneath it so it will be a little bit taller.
PS. Pain in the neck sux, I feel what ur saying, when i started out, my neck was killing me after like 20 mins, now I got used to it i guess...

Shit happens man
I like to put them all the way up, but in the same time I just keep the master output level pretty low, so it's always at like 0 db or lower, but not when i took that pic, lol

Wow you're good. It's a pair of Denon DP DJ-101s and a Kam KMX-300 mixer.

TRUE, except stanton made the greatest mixer ever, vrm-10

Posted by MERiDiAN5i2 on May-11-2002 22:29:

i figured the PCV275 was quite a beter box... the RM3S isn't that bad for a beginner, but it does sound like the PCV275 is worth the investment

On the I notice about the stanton EQ's, is on the negative side (which as we know, is what matters) they don't have much effect until they get to the 9 o'clock position... maybe -6db or so.. then a VERY abrupt cut! in a way, this is good, once you get used to it, but it makes a very obvious sound and its not smooth like you'd want for a good mix.

ah well. for the $200 I paid, it pretty cool. if I paid what the vestax costs for the stanton, i'd be somewhat irate though ... hehe

the lack of a cue meter IS annoying!!
