I've also lost channels on a 3 thousand dollar True Systems preamp. However my whole point was you should at least state why you think Behringer sucks instead of just expecting someone who has no clue of your experience with them to take your word for it.

then consider yourself lucky - google ADA8000 and frying eggs and you'll see that while a lot of people bought ADA800's as a cheap ADAT converter, many do go south and end up making a frying egg sound. This is a known defect on this unit. If you like yours and use it in the studio, you may want to buy a spare if you can't afford downtime.

Some of the major companies do have problems from time to time, but no one cuts corners to save costs like Behringer. They've decided they want to be the low-cost provider, which means spending an extra $50 on an amp to keep it from breaking is out of the question.

While others have copied out-of-production items such as Neve preamps and EQs, usually people are improving on something or something that was out of production or not meant for home studios - it wasn't too long ago that if you wanted a Neve 1073 or 1082, you had to go to Brent Averill or others and have him rack up one plucked from a mixer.

Behringer, on the other hand, has no problem copying existing products in the market with little to no improvements, except subsituting cheaper parts that are out of spec.

Again if you've bought their products and are happy, great, but there are as many if not more people who were disatisfied with a Behringer/Bugera purchase.


You also didn't mention - what did Mesa do about your amp? What did True systems do about your two channels that didn't work?
