Sounds great, Lee. I don't need another recorder but may just grab one anyway.

Will you be posting the sets from Austin?

The post above has been updated with the final results of my power use test : 13.75 hours (the computation gave 13.8 hours).
The 32GB SD card was full (at 96/24) before the power went down!

Was able to take my modded (JWmod) deck out last night for a bit to the Payback in Denver.  Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for the first set because these guys are all pros and the just plain smoke!!! I will hopefully be able to post link to a tune or two later today.

To my ears, I can definitely tell a difference.

Here is a sample from The Payback last night in Denver using my modded DR70D.  Sample is 24-Bit/44.1 kHz.  All I did in post was increase volume +1.5 dB from original source recording.  The Payback is: Eddie Roberts, Zigaboo Modeliste, Oteil Burbridge, Gabe Mervine, Matt Pitts, Scott Messersmith, And Robert Walter.

Another member seems to have concluded that the 70d uses the same 5532 chips as the Hs-p82.  http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=171565.msg2125629#msg2125629

I had a situation last week of having to go back and forth between classrooms recording various student competitions where it would have been nice to have had the 70d attached to my camera and just used the 70d internal mics.  But I only got my unit a day or two too late.

I've been wanted to see those guys.  Great recording.  Nice full sound.  Love the bottom end.  What's the lineage?

just now listening to IsraelNash and am totally impressed.  Is it  AKG ck61 > NBob Actives > Naiant PFA > Tascam DR-70?

the op amps used in the JWmod of the 70d----could the same ones be used to replace the BA4580 op amps in the original DR680?  Or should they only replace the 5532 op amps in the 70d?

I replaced both the 4580s and the NE5532s on the DR70D.

Not sure about the 680 as I don't have one. I imagine it could be done but I don't know for sure as Jim is the one who is the electronics guy.  The tricky part is removing and replacing in such tight quarters...at least on the DR70D. Has anyone taken apart the 680 to see how the components are laid out?
