Original Message 1/12 26-May-01 @ 12:15 PM - buying 2nd hand mixer
I am about to spend all my pennies on a new mixer. I can buy a new spirit 24/8 studio console for about 1300 ar I can opt for a second hand mackie 24/8bus. They both have similar features but I have been assured that the mackies are top notch. Does anybody know If second hand mixers lose anything in the way af audio quality or noise, or are they a sound purchase. I wont have a chance to hear the console so I have to know if it is worth my while taking a risk.
thanks

and you can always take it to a tech and have it cleaned thoroughly for $300 or so. worth it sometimes

hell no! it aint pretty.
my tech did a 24/8 for me. $350 and that included replacing 4-5 pots and a couple faders and an LED strip on the mains. he's nice to me
I wouldnt buy a mixer I couldnt listen to first unless it was from someone I trusted, but the one thing is..mackies are definitely solid and can handle a lot of use and or abuse
