Also give the Stanton RM-3s a look... It's a pretty decent mixer for the price. Its $279 at most places but can be found for 230 if you look around.

Both, the new Vestax mixers use plastic conductive faders. They take much longer to wear out. I know they upgraded the faders already (they made an offer to everybody that bought a PCV mixer in the first months they were available to replace the v1.0 faders).

ya instead of the old 100,00 crosses you used to get before the fader went bad it is closer to 1,000,000 now

Yeah the Vestax is a very good mixer to begin spinning. If you are a little richer, you should buy a DJM500 or DJM600 from Pionneer. If you are very very rich, get an Allen & Health :-) You can afford a Behringer DX500 for a very little price (about 200$) and a very correct sound quality, an integrated sampler and very good switches.

I have had bad experience with Pioneer. The cross faders seem to wear out so damn fast..

anyone else had this?

I was drooling over the DJM600, but now I am thinking that i might get the vestax PCV-275.

much cheaper, and it sounds like it will actually last longer.

I got the DJM600 for about 4 years now and a friend of me has it for much longer than me. We change only one time the crossfader. I can say also that some of my friends mix with Vestax apparels and they don't have any probs, so I think you had a bad model from Pionneer. That's no luck

You should also check the new model from Vestax, the PMC-07ProD from Samurai series, wich has a new digital crossfader, and it's as smooth as a Rane or an Allen&Health! The difference is really here! It has also new EQ faders wich are like the channels faders, it rocks, it's easier to use, imo. Take a look here:

Yeah the new Vestax are sweet.
pretty expensive though.

ah, decisions, decisions...

yeah the PCV275 is sweet. It sounds great and is easy and fun to work with. However, I am in the process of selling it since I just bought a Rane TTM56!!

If you scratch AND mix, dont get the PCV275, get a Rane OR A&H. Yes they are pricey but they're well worth it. But like I said.. PCV275 for mixing or u can go with a Ecler Smac Pro 30 which is just as good as the Vestax PCV275.

Someone mentioned Pioneer mixers being good... as an overall mixing controller it's pretty good. But if you wanted to scratch/mix, it sucks. The x-fader bleeds pretty badly real fast. Lastly, you shouldnt worry too much about the X-fader blowing out on you unless you extensively use the xfader alot. The x-fader is the only PCV component on the Vestax PCV275 from what I read. THe upfaders are still using the alps.

but basically the PCV275 is an awesome mixer if ur just going to mix. You wont be disappointed :thumb:
