also have you tested the output signal of the 148, instead of alwaystesting the phantom? I would do that also

I know this sounds stupid to some of you, but how would you do that?

I would feed it a steady input signal such as static or a test tone.  Then measure the output across the same pins,  it should stay steady the intire time as long as the signal is the same.

I may be wrong on this so people feel free to correct me.

Or, just record test signal directly from the m148 to your HD or another recorder. All you have to do is look at it to see if something is wrong. I have been moding a DMIC-20. After each phase, I go and record 1k test signal and pink noise onto my HD using CuBase. I can look at and analyse the output at another time.

Thing is you have to take the 671 out of the equation to really be able to tell if it is the 671 or the 148.  If I had a different recorder, I would use that.

if you still have the ua5, you could feed the 148 to the ua5 and use the 671 (or something else) to capture the ua5's digital signal.  even if otherwise screwed up, the 671 wouldn't show a level drop on its digital in.

Well boys it is the 671 causing the problem. I did a test today that Doug and I discussed last week. Doug and I both felt a little stupid for not coming up with this before. Basically what I did was I took a signal from my TV and got where the levels were. I then hooked the 671 up to the 148 and let it record. I had the levels drop. I then hooked the TV back up while the 671 was still in record mode and the levels did not come back. I then hooked it back up the m148 and again no levels. I turned off the 671 while letting the m148 continue to run. I turned the 671 on again and hooked it back up to the 148 and it was getting levels again. So basically the 671 is the problem. Thanks for all the suggestions and concern guys. Hopefully Marantz can get this thing fixed/replaced quickly ??? :-\

Thanks again for all the help Chuck. +T backatcha. If it was the 148 Doug said he would put a rush on it and get it back to me. Who knows how long Marantz is going to take. What do you guys think? Is it a Doug thing or a Marantz thing? Doug was saying I have to send it back to Marantz. To be honest I'd just like a new one. Paying close to $900 I really don't want a unit that has failed me once you know. I guess I'll have to call Marantz tomorrow >:(

Usually in these kind of situations the company would decide what they are goning to replace or just fix.  I helps to say you'd like it replaced, but I would be suprised if a company as large as marantz is going to just do that.

I am not sure what you are using to power, but I know for a fact that spreadheadtom had issues when running off the Wally World 9V's. He tried 3 or 4 different ones and none of them worked, even though they had previously without incident. I would check your power solution for the 671.

I've done both AA's and the DVD batts and have had no power issues other then the 2700mah batts being too big. I sent it to Marantz today. They said they have a 2 to 4 day turnaround time.
