I'm working on upgrading my home studio and for the longest time I
didn't really pay attention to the gear. I've been using the 002Rack
connected to a Behringer MX1008 mixer. Why? Hehe, the 002 rack I used
for recording and playback and I had all some non-important gear
connected to the MX1008 just for playback. I was also using an Event
TR5 pair of speakers but I've grown out of them already.

Anyway, I'm getting a new pair of ADAM's A7s to replace the Event's.
The 002 Rack was sold off last week, and I'm dumping the MX mixer out
the window. I'm swearing off Behringer after I get my gear sorted,
really. How do you usually mount your speakers? I had mine on my old
teak desk all this while, that made the whole desk sound like a mini
boom box. I was only working on effects beds for short 3D presentation
work so it didn't really matter before.

So, a good replacement for the 002R + MX would be either the M-Audio
NVR10 which has a unique inline console type feature or the 003 Rack
and suffer with no faders until I get MIDI controller at a later date.
I quite used to working on Protools but that doesn't really matter.
Anyone got any idea of the NVR10? How are its mic preamps? Most of my
hobby work is acoustic guitar, vocal and electronic for the rest of
the music or sound beds.

Also, anyone got any cheap 2nd hand mics for sale? I'm looking for a
large diaphragm condenser and a couple of pencil mics for instrument
tracking. Anything will do really, as long as it works.

Can you tell WHY you dislike Behringer? I'm curious. Anyone else?

Kev,
I have the following:

Two AT33r cardioids, in boxes with cal charts. Seems identical to the
ATM33a, I can't see the difference:

Both for $100

Two Sony ECM260F cardioids, battery powered, XLR out. The business end
looks similar to the AT: has cylindrical cage surrounding the capsule.
Both for $50.

A lot of people don't like them because of some rather sleazy stuff that
Mr. Behringer did when the company was first starting up.

Some people don't like them for the same reason they don't like any of
the low-end gear.

I think EVERY manufacturer looks at the competition and comes up with the
same features the competitors do. Why would all mixers look the same? Or
modern cars for that matter?
