No.
First of all, the blue paint job on those blue pcv's suck.
Secondly, although the mixer has more channels, it has less useable imputs.
It has 3 channels that have a both a line/phono imputs, and the fourth channel only has 2 line imputs. So even if you had 4 turntables, you could only hook 3 up.
So heres its imputs.
5 Line
3 Phono
Total:
The pcv275 actually has 2 lines, and 1 phono on each channel. So in total it has:
6 line
3 phono
Total: 9
Tada! it actually has more imputs.
On both mixers, you are only going to be able to hook up 3 turntables, in 3 channels.
More pcv275 benefits:
The pcv150 does not have effects send/receive. The pcv275 does.
The pcv150 does not have cue leds, or cue vu moniters, or whatever you want to call them. The pcv275 does.
The pcv150 does not have balance for each individual channel, the pcv275 does.
I'm not sure about this, but i think the pcv150 looks like it has 45mm upfaders judging by the picture, while the pcv275 has 60mm up faders. The pcv150 might infact has 60mms though.
The pcv150 benefits:
It has an extra channel (although that channel can only be used for lines)
It has a deeper eq cuts, and shallower eq gains compared to the pcv275
It has crossfader assign.
It has transform buttons.
It has "sub master out adjust"?
The pcv150 is certainly designed more to target club install than the pcv275, but it seems that having an external effects unit is becoming a must have for alot of djs, so it would be pretty iffy.
They are both solid good buys though. |

hey, how's that working out for you?
I agree with you btw. The platter is not what people should be buying the s3000 for. I bought it because it had a .02% pitch accuracy, period. In terms of that, its almost as good as the Pioneer decks...if only it would extend the range beyond +/-4%. |

Working out well. I have learned a grand total of 0 features besides cueing.
I should have paid you an extra $50 to show up at my house and teach me how to use this thing. |

The lack of master/cue LEDs should be a deal killer. How can you keep your levels even???
At $300, the 275 is a NO BRAINER at this point. |

the xone 32 is solid! the 464 is gonna be a pain to learn on but will definitely be to ur benefit when you improve. you are lucky you didn't order that piece of djx700. i have one now and boy does it suck. the 275 is a good buy too.
Also there is no use for a DD cd player. you don't need to move a heavy ass 3 pound platter and a record. So DDs useless for this application |

You do know how huge this thing is, right? I was amazed at the size when I saw one in Guitar Center. If you go this route, you are going to need a nice setup for your tables. It wouldnt fit in you average bedroom dj's space. |
