I wanted to be able to say that the Behringer was a POS, but it really isn't. That doesn't make it a DA7, but $1300 for that thing with four (if I remember right) pretty damn good built-in fx, etc. - it's pretty hard to beat for the money. And it's not fair to compare it to the blow-out prices of a DA7, which was the alternative at the time. That mixer is built to a price, and I have to look at it in that context. Sure it has limitations and problems, but it's not a POS.

Also, I'm not dissing the Ramsa I had at all. Could it have been an 8816? Anyway, it didn't have oodles of headroom, but it was a nice mixer that served me very well for several years. My comment about the $300 was just to show how nobody wants those things anymore.
