I've tried almost every high-end (and also some of the very cheap) rotary mixers, and so having once owned an older 4 channel linear fader Ecler mixer (the NUO4), I was excited to see what the new Ecler Warm2 had to offer. And the answer is, it's got a WHOLE LOT to offer! I honestly don't think this can be beaten at this price point. The sound quality (especially the phono pre-amps are great!), features, layout, design and build quality are fantastic - and yes, there have been a number of people posting online voicing their concerns over some of the pots (channel EQs etc) being made of plastic and seeming to have a slight wobble compared to the Alps metal pots for the master ISO and channel volume controls, but honestly I used my NUO4 for over 12 years with zero issues and every single pot on that mixer was plastic. One really great part of the design for me is how compact this can make your setup even with two turntables either side of this mixer. I really can't express enough how I rate this above any of the other lower priced rotary mixers available at the moment, and very interested to see if Ecler bring a similar 4 channel version (perhaps the "Warmer"?), and if they do, I would love to see a small crossfader added - this is a handy feature added to the MasterSounds Radius 4v that is really useful. Don't hesitate buying this one though if it's in your budget and you want a high quality, feature packed and amazing value for money piece of kit.
