[QUOTE="Geoff Doane, post: 79935, member: 1155"] Re: Yamaha DM1000 too much horsepower? Somebody local to me has a DM1000, AES card and 2 AD8HRs for sale right now at $5K. The pres are worth $2400 each (new), so he's practically giving the console away. Having said that, we have a DM1000 at my day job, and it's a fine console to use. The build quality is at a level above the LS9 and M7CL, IMHO, although it is somewhat dated in many respects. A monochrome, non-touch screen, no HPFs (without giving up a band of EQ), no graphics, and no recallable head amps are a few things that we expect on more modern consoles. However, compared to the LS9 at least, the resolution of the faders is finer (.1 vs. .5 dB), as are the EQ (.1 vs 1 dB) adjustments. That may not make a practical difference when mixing, but it does indicate a difference in priorities when the two consoles were designed. The one we have is pushing 10 years old, and still works perfectly. I certainly have no complaints about its sound quality, although it can take some button pushing to get to the page you want, especially in the dynamics. GTD [/QUOTE]
