I find myself always turning the gain of the incoming song way up to hear it, but then i sometimes get used to it like that, and forget to put it back down, then i bring in the song and it's way too loud. I know DJM600 has this, but i don't think the 500 does.

yeah i know what you mean but i guess you gotta get used to it *shrugs* i use the pcv 175 which is pretty much the same as the 275 except i dont have the split cues... but other than that you gotta stick with using the gains and the headphone volume as much as possible for comfortable cueing and beatmatching. its not that bad in the end... it just trains you more to be aware that you've set your levels right when you're about to do the mix =)

you hit it right on the nail there. I absolutely agree with you, and I love my PCV275 too!

I have the same quibbles: To wide of a frequency band for the bass eq and my right channel is a little louder as well. I've never had a problem with the cue levels though . . .

I love my mixer. For the price, I can't think of one I'd rather have.

ahah! another TA witha louder right channel, come on, i wanna hear more guys!

this is it.

yeah, i want FX too. but imo, if you want FX, get an FX box, like this one:

http://www.pioneerprodj.com/products/efx500/efx500.mv


it has all the FX of the pioneer DJM500, and more i believe.

there are other better sounding FX you can get too.

and since the the PCV275 has an FX loop, you can easily control the send and return volumes on the mixer

I wouldnt get pioneer fx. Have u guys heard of Lexicon or Eventide.

Hey all, I jsut wanted to add my opinions. I love the vestax 275. A great piece of machinery. I too thought havea slightly louder right side, but only on phone 1. Phono 2 is fine. Also on the FX thing. I was thinking of getting the KORG Kaoss pad 2. And by thinking of getting, I mean asking for it for christmas from my parents and some other relatives.

hmmm.. i';m pretty sure both of mine are a bit louder on the right, i could be wrong though..

as for FX, yeah, i would like a Kaos Pad 2, those are pretty fun.

i have not heard of lexicon or eventide, do you have a link dj phu?

yup. i also love this mixer. The only thing i would fault is the 1/4inch connections. On the 175 they were just standard phono's, so the cables used to hook ur mixer up to ur PC, and also a seperate cable to the Hi-fi were very simple. Now its a pain in the ass all this 1/4 inch shite. I still hav not found the perfect cable i need. I hav to use various adapters to finally solve my problem (which means i am sacrificing quality)

Infact i need the following cable's if anyone knows where i might find them:

two 1/4 inch jacks at one end -------- standard jack at other end

OR

two 1/4 inch jacks at one end -------- 2 standard phono cables at other end

Im not even sure if i've used correct terms. But i hope this has made clear what i am after. If anyone know's a place where i can find these specifics, then let me no
