i have no complaints wiht the loop on my 275. i mean as said before it has everything you need, but not much more. the FX loop has pre/off/post swtiches on each channel. you can cue the fx, and send, return level controls.

i did do the rotary conversion on mine and really enjoy it more with the knobs. the only things that i think this mixer lacks are individual channel meters (but the cue meter works well enough, its just allways peaking when im cueing multiple tracks at a time), a crossfader off switch, and a way to cue your master output in your headphones.

i really love the eq curves and kills, you can do some cool shit just playing with these. and the dual headphone output comes in handy if you ever do a tag team with a friend.

overall this mixer has really solid feel and the sound quality is great for the money. im very happy with mine and will probably keep it until i upgrade to a xone or rane.

as far as the 004 goes, it definitly doesnt have the feel as the 275, feels alot cheaper IMO. the faders are too short for me and i just cant do without a loop. the faders are also very tight and dont feel very smooth to me, but i do like the fact that its 4ch and has the individual chanel meters which the 275 doesnt.

i love the headphone monitoring section on the vmc-004 too. a lot more useful (to me atleast) than the pvc275.

for a bedroom dj that does a lot of his work in the middle of the night. i would recommend the vmc-004 over the pvc275. especially because you can't hear your self mix on the 275. -like vero said there is no way to cue the master into the headphones. actually, there is a way, but you can only hear your fades in on one side only. -this sucks, a lot i might add.

the kill switches are cool... but i still prefer to use the vmc eq.

the thing that really put me off buying a pmc27 earlier this year was the fact that it's really just a 2channel mixer. the middle channel (labeled sub) is almost useless to me, -since the kills have no effect on this channel. on top of that, the eq doesn't cut enough to make up for not being able to use the kill switches.

i could live w/headphone cue limitations... since at the time, i was working nights... so instead of mixing after work, i would just wake up earlier and crank it during the day.

i can live w/being forced to use the crossfader...

but i don't think i could live w/just being stuck to using just two channels (and 2sources) max. therefore, i will NEVER be able to the stuff i could do w/the vmc 004.
