So.... waiting for the Smacpro30 for more than a month and I finally get the news that Ecler does not know when it will ever arrive. So I have to buy something else or keep witing untill.....

I really liked that mixer and was gonna get it for less than $400. Now I have to start all over again.
Which mixer to get? :nervous:

I kindly and happily request suggestions within that priceline and quality. Many thanks

^...Vestax...

yeah thanks. Seems what everyone recommends for mid-price mixers. But there's just something I don't like 'bout'em. What I'm really concerned about is sound and build quality.

aaaahhhhhhh money decisions :nervous: :conf: :whip: :crazy:

If youre worried about sound and build quality, I can tell you that vestax's build quality is MUCH better than ecler. As far as sound goes, I think both ecler and vestax are fine. But when i tried the smac 40 i cant tell you how poor the build quality felt...in reality the build quality is probably pretty good, but the eqs were wobbly, and that just made it feel really cheap.

i build on vestax is tight....knobs are solid ....they are built well.....the sound outta them isn't so bad either....i'm a mixer buy'n mess....i owned alot of mixers...vestax is fair priced decent mixer.....i would take it over the smac's...although i can't stand that nasty gold color......but u should go beyond looks

Tommorow i'm going to get a Vestax PCV-275.

IMO the best mixer in the price range up to €500 here in Holland.

Ecler are very good mixer, but battle mixer. SMAC is a more budget mixer and not as good as a PCV-275. I've tried the PCV-175 en de qaulity was very good. Faders and knobs felt realy good. Sound in headphones was also better then i'm used to have with my y no name mixer. PCV-275 is even better then 175, anyway, the EQ is better if i have to believe the storries.

Tommorow i'll try it at home and i'll give my review of it.
