Hope that was not me. No flaming meant
It's just that in the final analysis, Behringer fills a niche...those not too conscious of how smooth the faders slide, those who are low on budget, home recording buffs who don't have much money, those who go for "okay na rin"...
Maybe one can think of behringer as the corolla of the audio industry, with everyone else being the Lexus, Mercedes, Jaguars etc. Some people can take compromise...others don't. And then it again goes down to value for money. Is the price difference worth the aural difference ?
Maybe I haven't heard better, but my Behringer MIC200 sounds very good for the measly price I paid for it. And my Behringer GDI21 is one of the best pedals I've heard (tone-suck notwithstanding, had to mod it) for the money.
