[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 74777, member: 67"] Re: Uli Behringer of The Music Group Q&A It's that all-things audio answer: It Depends. One of my employees has the old Behringer digital mixer. It finally became unusable when the oscillator circuit decided to send pink noise to all outputs. No amount of on/off changes that. Did a full reset, no fix. It's 10 years old. I suspect the sheet metal/enclosure is better than the X32. It's hard to say what the Achilles heel of the X32 will be, but eventually there will be enough field experience with it for failure modes to start appearing. Behringer has been very quick to investigate and remedy assembly and cable-dress issues and firmware updates. They seem to be working very hard to *not* be the company that was so easy to make fun of just a year ago. Time will tell. As to your other issues... a new SPX2000 is $1150 at Sweetwater. I suspect your MoBo is everything but the case & front panel controls. Still, that's a big repair bill for something that should last at least 10 years in professional service. I think we have an SPX90 somewhere in the shop that still works over 20 years later. The Soundcraft PSU is also premature. Are both of these from the same rig/install? [/QUOTE]
