Vestax PCV-275 vs PCV150

I have a 275 now and I just bought a coffin for my turntables. The mixer space is for a 19" mixer and the 275 has about 3 inches on either side. I want to sell the 275 and get a PCV150 5-Channel.
I can put the 150 in the 19" rackspace and screw it in place. What are the major differences? Am I taking a huge huge sound quality hit when I go down to a rackable mixer vs. the 275?
I don't use the crossfader; I have gotten used to using EQ's. If I rack the mixer, then I can get a rackable CD player and have 2 TT's and 2 CD sources. Any opinions?
PCV150 5-Channel
Sale Price: $369.99
Should I save a few months and get the DJM-3000? Does the DJM-3000 have any RCA outputs (they keep boasting about 2 digital outputs)? |

| you have to remember that the djm 3000 has a quality array of effects, not sure if the pcv150 does, but that is one its kick ass features, aside from being a quality mixer. |

I say go for the PCV-150....... the Pioneer DJM-3000 is WAY overpriced... (850$ for a god damn mixer... geeeezz.....). and the Vestax PCV-150 is, as you can see, very affordable..... that's the mixer I'm probably getting.....
and I use a dual CD player... and planning on purchasing a pair of TT's too......
and you really don't have to worry about the crossfader.... do what I do... don't touch it.... lol.....
and there's no difference in sound quality between a regular mixer and a rackable one... a mixer is a mixer. period...
so get the PCV-150... you won't be needing the effects in the DJM-3000 anyway. |

listen m8
i dont think that the PCV - 150 has eq in the headphones
cause most vestax mixers dont
except for the PCV - 275
dont sell ur 275
just sell and buy a new coffin for ur mixer, the 275 is an excelent mixer and i think it would be plain stupidity to sell it because it dosen't fit ur coffin
:rolleyes:

| I think I am going to throw money at the problem and get the DJM-3000. Goodbye this month's paycheck! I'm selling my PCV-275. It's in mint condition. I have only had it for 4 months and I am just a bedroom DJ. |

If I were you I would keep the PCV-275. You will probably be able to get rack mount brackets for it if you look around.
I have used the PCV-150 on a few occasions, and indeed you cannot hear the eq changes in the headphones. There is also no cue/master panning control, each channel is either on in the headphones or off. There is no fading between cue and master in the headphones. Also, it have just been a dodgy fader on the unit I was using, but the crossfader seems to dip in volume in the centre. The overall volume goes down to about 95% when you put the fader in the middle. Not by a lot, but noticeable.
Don't get the DJM-3000. Pioneer mixers are cheap build quality and sound quality with an expensive price tag. The effects on it are AFAIK the same as the ones on the DJM-600, i.e. lame. If you want to do effects right then get a separate effects unit and use the send and return on the mixer. That's what it's there for. |

Thank you!
Finally someone whos knows business, everyone here thinks the Pioneer mixers are so damn great.
They are simply average, nothing more.
I Have the 275 and I love it, dont sell it, instead get a new coffin. |
