My Dad has come over twice...similar dilemna only not quite as bad as I suspect the price difference for NZ... Anyway, poke around on Ebay for something that might be in your price range. Have them ship it to someone in the US if they won't ship internationally. The shipping is not that much if you don't mind waiting a few weeks. If you want it faster...obviousley more. Friend of mine in Sydney bought a Senheiser radio headset and shipped it here. I sent it priority and he had it in a week for $20.00 US. Delta 1010LTs...I have one. Looked and looked on Ebay until a used one came up for $180.00. Snagged it and it is good! BEyond that $240 -$270.00 US is what they go for. What kind of mixer? You don't need anything too elaborate unless you are trying to mix an Orchestra live to hard disk. 8~) Mackie and Behringer make cheap reasonable small mixers. Mackie being the better of the two regarding noise. You should be able to pick your mixer up there 2nd hand I should think. Just try to get your sound card from here. I think that's where you might be able to save a buck. R~ If you don't know anyone here, I'll help you out. You know...Commonwealth brothers and all. And I get to say "sux peik" of beer and fish 'n' chups while I'm at it! :) I have a LOT of Kiwi friends...
