I'm looking to get a new mixer after christmas but i'm on a bit of a budget (around £100). The main requirements are needs to be able to play 3 phono channels at once, bass mid treble and gain on each channel and (optional extra but would really like it) have vu meters on each channel or a cue vu meter.

originally I was looking at the Stanton SMX311 as it looks like it could play all 3 phono channels at once then I came across the Behringer DX626 which looked almost perfect but can't seem to find it in stock anywhere so it may have been discontiued.

If I can raise enough funds I'm considering the Behringer Nox303.

Any recomendations or comments about the ones i've mentioned?

Cheers.

100 quid is really bargain territory, so don't set your sights high and expect to replace or upgrade relatively soon.
Hunt on eBay for a second hand vestax, that's probably all you can hope in your scope.
Behringer have the worst reputation of all DJ equipment. Stay well away.

Cheers. been out of the buying market for quite a few years and am really just looking for somthing for ****** use at home as I don't play out anywhere. The last couple of mixers i've had have been by Kam and that was back in the late 90's. it's more of a hobby for me now and the occasional family house party so just need something thats ok really.
