When your stock crossfader eventually wears out, replace it with the Penny&Giles version - you won't regret it. |

Alright, so I've had this baby since last summer but I'm just now getting around to posting some pics. I'll get some better quality ones up soon, but you get the idea.
Big upgrade over my DJM-400, so say the least!
Gear:
- Ecler Evo 5
- 2 CDJ-800 mk2
- 2 Behringer Truth B2031A monitors
- Dell Inspiron 8200 from 2002 aka THE TANK. 2 gigs of RAM, Pentium 4 single core. Runs like a charm.
- Torq 1.52
Not pictured:
- UC-33 midi controller
- JBL Eon G2 15 Active PA
- Behringer B215A Active PA
- Numark 1520 TT |

Nice.
How do you like the evo?
Have you ever used a djm800 and how does it compare? |

The Evo is the best decision I'v ever made, DJ-wise. I've used the DJM-800 many times. It is an excellent all-around mixer, but the Evo is in a different league in terms of, most importantly, sound quality, and then in terms of features, customization, etc. (ie: fader curve customization, effects chaining, etc.) It is trickier to use than the 800, I will say that. But once you have it for a bit it becomes second nature. I'd match it up next to ANY of the other big boys without a second thought. Ecler may not have market saturation as much as the other guys, especially here in the states, but man they're awesome.
The built-in Traktor and Ableton compatibility is great too. And even though I use the Torq software, I actually use the Evo's internal ASIO-compatible sound card for the sound output. It, in my opinion, is the best of both words. In other words, all I have to do is plug the Conectiv dongle into a usb port on my laptop just to launch Torq, but then I can do away with all the RCA connections from the Conectiv and simply use 1 firewire cable from the Evo to my laptop. |

Not bad. How are those Stanton decks? I've never heard much about them. I know Vestax pdx's are supposed to be the tip of the titties.
Also, someone needs to dust :p |

Do you use midi with your evo? I have an Evo 4 and I can't get the top knobs to work correctly with torq or serato. The knob on the mixer doesnt move the knob on torq/serato, it just turns it on or off. Only thing that pisses me off with the mixer... |
