DJM 250/350 build quality comparison
Hi,
I want to purchase a DJM 250 or 350. Both have unfortunately unique features which I like from both units. Eventually I want to decide depending on the build quality of the two mixers. I am especially curious about the quality of the mechanical parts as pots and faders. Are they the same or does the 350 has better, more robust, smoother parts? How about the a/d converters in comparison? Glossy plastic means no extra quality, whereas wobbly pots for instance would be inacceptable for me.
Thanks a lot guys!

@Fotios > Both are great builds and very robust - although dubbed Pioneer's 'cheap' players they certainly don't have a cheap build feel to them. The sound is also top quality, as you would expect.
I recommend testing the units at your local DJ shop to draw your own conclusions.
Thank you Gavin. Unfortunately I don't have any reachable store which provides these two mixers. I can only order them online and I don't want unnecessaryly to have to send one back.
If one of you guys had the opportunity to see and touch them both yet, I trust your statement. So would you say that the feeling of the mechanical parts is pretty much identical?
@Fotios > Unfortunately the DJM-250 isn't available yet so no one will be able to help you out with the DJM-250, except if Gavin or Pulse has had an encounter with it already. ;)
I've only played with a pre-production unit, but it felt solid. I'd love to have a 250 in my arsenal; it's a fantastic and trim 2ch mixer.
@Fotios > We had the 250s on display at BPM last October and received some great feedback. If you check some of the videos that were shot at BPM, djsounds.com do some interviews with Joachim Garraud and members of the public.

@Gavin > 250's last October?
@Foster > October 2011, yes.
Last, as in, the one that just passed. ;)
@Gavin > 10-4. My misunderstanding.
@Foster > Pas de problème, mon ami!
