Hello Uli,
Greetings from Finland. I am more of a studio person myself, even tho I do fair amount of live audio too. Since people have already addressed reliability of older products etc several times, I won't delve in to that path and try to ask something new for a change. I have four questions:
1) Also one thing that has bothered me several times with Behringer products is just the overall design and material/color choice of many older generation Behringer gear. The main problem is that the material choices made them look REALLY cheap, in a bad way. You might think that it doesn't matter, but it really doesn't help when you are geared towards making cheaper alternative products. For example the dark blue aesthetics with MX series mixers was alright, but EuroRack/8000/T195X series gear was HIDEOUS with that brushed metal and silver-glitter nailpolish metal look and the thought "what were they thinking" has crossed my mind several times. The Xenyx series went back to alright with the dark matte gray, and when I saw the new Eurocom line, they looked really sexy. Like better than most stuff I've seen even from competitors. And for example even tho the Behringer DSP110 looked alright, the updated look of FBQ100 was so much more aesthetically pleasing (haven't seen them in nature, but at least the pictures in the website do look more aesthetically pleasing). Also the iNuke series looks nice.
I am now asking are you thinking of re-releasing some of the older products with similar, more updated looks? I wouldn't mind black microphones for example...
2)
Can you do something about the future versions of already released products, mainly to improve signal-to-noise ratio in many products, like EuroRack mixers and in the DI-20 di-box? If it helps in anyway, I bought my DI20 about 6 years ago, but it was really noisy from day 1 (same thing with for example my HA400 headphone amp) and since all other DI20's have had the same problem (tried several dozen of them), I stopped recommending them to anyone and just said to buy DI100 instead if they wanted a cheap alternative. It's otherwise nice and handy 2CH DI, but the noisiness of the unit is what keeps me from using it as anything more than a backup of a backup.
3)
Where should I get my Behringer products in Finland? I noticed that most shops don't have any in stock, and after SounData went bankrupt in 2010 and after Into Luthmann took over the distribution a few years earlier (FYI: they are a Swedish company, and don't have a shop in Finland) the availability of Behringer gear for consumer users went pretty much zero in Finland (I haven't checked recently what the situation is, but this was the situation at least 2 years ago), so my only options were pretty much ordering stuff from Thomann, but their variety in Behringer gear is not very good. For example they only have 5 Bugera heads at stock (V55HD, 1990, 6260, 333 and 333XL) and I know I saw Trirec, T1 and T47 there some time ago, but they are not there anymore, even tho they were released only 2-3 years ago, right?
4) I have several concepts and concept ideas for different products that for example Behringer might be interested in, is there someone I could possibly contact these about? If you wish to contact me about this via email instead, my email address is

yep I only use Neutrik connectors and, though it's your choice to write me off as an idiot, after 20 years working with audio gear, including 9 years for the BBC, I may not know everything but I know how to plug stuff in
