    No call for 110V up here Dom, thats why I'm slowly but surely changing all my gear over to 240V

    Anyone tried any new 240V mixers lately??

    I'm still looking to change over from 110V and am determined to get one next week

    Still fancying a Rubi for a change, possibly the Rubimix 10

    Refina are good but a lot of dosh for something that does pretty much the same job as the Rubi
