Just a quick check-in. I'm like 3+ years and several hundred recordings in without a single glitch due to my R-44. Reliability has literally been 100% for me. Freakin' sweet deck.

Me too! And I've even dropped mine once. If I had the money I'd buy four more!

Jon's Niant PFAs have worked really well with the R44 [edit] with every recorder I've plugged them into (R44, DR680, 722) in my experience.  I ran two pair of them into an OCM R44 for a very compact mobile FOB rig at Bear Creek this last weekend and chose that specific combo because 'it just works'-  simple and reliable in tough conditions.  Stongly endorsed here.
That's good to read.  I recently picked up a PFA for use with my 4061's or CA-14 cards and a friend's DR680.  It's nice to know that I can run his AKG's with one of mine on an additional channel plus the board feed (if granted) and not have to worry about clock frequencies/retiming/synching/etc. 

However, based on everything I've read, I'd likely go the route of the R-44 over the 680 if I was buying one today.  Luckily, I can borrow my friend's 680 but if this ever changes, I'll have to get my own. :D

An R-66 or R-88 in about the same package size would be great.

I vote R-88 but I can see them saying that they have that now by linking two R-44s. Sadly that isn't really the case.

Same here, although I'll be three years in March.

10/31/2008 for me. GREAT recorder!

Having said as much, mine has to go, making way for the new to me Alesis HD24! 

Two channels was never enough with an iRiver, so that led to 2 iRivers... Syncing multiple clocks sucks!

That led to an R-44, 4 was cool for a while with a stereo pair onstage, but the interest of close mic'ing sources plus stage pair led to..

Zoom r-16, great deck despite not much love here on TS.com, but 8 isn't quite enough...

Since no one makes an 11 or 13 track recorder.... 24 it is! >:D

I haven't played enough with my R-16 to say one way or the other. I hope to get a JoeCo 24 channel recorder next year.

I really do love my r-16, very capable recorder, if the limitation of 2 phantom channels isn't a problem... And it never is for my style.  A zoom in the same format with 16 inputs would really be ideal, this new rig of a 6U rack pushes the limit of my 1 trip load-in rule....  But $500 was too good to pass up!

Panatrope's law - the number of channels required for a recording is always one greater than the number available.

No doubt, especially since I find myself needing odd numbers of channels- 5, 7, 9, or 11

Take a look at the $2500 price as well.... For $500, plus 200 for a rackmount and using two dual preamps I already owned, I have 24 balanced in channels.
