Hi Guys

Don't get me wrong, I still love the DL but due to some higher profile gigs in the offing I need to buy a more rider friendly mixer (and to help the guest engineers with the learning curve it has to have real faders). Sadly the DL has to got to go to fund the new desk. It's in near mint condition, built into an ally tool box with a euro mains connector on the outside and comes with the original shipping box, manuals etc. It's on ebay as I type but I'll close the auction if anybody's interested. I'm looking for £750, pics available, PM me if you're interested.

Sam I am curious as to what the dl is new for in the uk, and how does £750 compare to Us $. I sold mine, also in mint condition, for $725 US with the carrying case. They do sell new now through some companies for $799, but typically it's $999. I sold mine quick after the x18 was announced, and just after the x32 series price drop. There is no doubt in my mind that there will have to be a serious MAP price drop or the dl will not be able to compete. And of course that will drive down the used market price.

Sam that would be $1248 not bad if you can get it. What is the new desk going to be?

PS I'll send you mine for $48 you keep $200 and I'll take $1000 not bad.

Street price in the UK is £999 (with the odd retailer selling for maybe £20 less), two or three used ones have sold on ebay.co.uk for around £750 recently but I'm open to sensible offers.

The new desk is probably going to be either a Berry X32 Compact or Allen & Heath Qu16. So far the X32 is looking favourite (I've recently had an "no berry" rider but the engineer who sent it has since said he's considering buying an X32). I'm a definite A&H fan but the X32 just offers too much more for the same price.

As I said I'm upgrading because I want physical faders and multitrack recording (though the dodgy reverbs are a consideration too, they are ok, fine for most gigs but I have used better). I'd love to be able to keep the DL for my bar gigs but I can't afford to buy a new mixer without selling the Mackie  :(

Of course the whole deal could go TTU so it's conceivable I'll still be on here for a while....

Jerrylee:
The x32 is becoming very rider friendly. Like you pointed out, even those who were anti berry are now all about berry. The x32 is a game changer. And buying Midas didn't hurt.
