Hey kids...I finally have purchased an r44 and need to buy some memory....I've read through these threads as well as the team threads but most of that info seems kind of dated....any current suggestions on media or is the 8-16gb class 4 still the way to go? Thanks!

Most likely that info is still dependable but I'd personally opt for class 6 if you can for its faster write speed.  I've been using the same PNY 16gb, class 6 card in my R-44 for nearly 3 years and have never had any issues with it at all (knock on wood).  Getting a backup just to hedge my bets.

Trancend 32GB class 10, currently $42-$45 online.
search for  TS32GSDHC10

I have several and they've been working well in all my recorders, both Edirol and Tascam.
Just bought another one last week and broke it in lastnight.

Is the R-44 the best sounding (stock), relatively inexpensive recorder still? I might be looking to move to this if it is.

I haven't heard of a better one.  Johnny Fried Chicken Boy runs his stock with no pre in front and his pulls are great.  Mine is modded, but I'm honestly not sure how much diff it makes since he and I have never A/B'd our stuff. 

I can sing the praises of its ruggedness and reliabilty.  Mine has never failed me, is easy to operate, has a decently small footprint, and is just kind of all-around-awesome :)  I've even stealthed with it before! (You can probably get about 4hrs out of it running P48 on one channel on 4xAAs).  If someone gave me a 744, I'd take it, but otherwise, my R-44 is the best deck of its type I can imagine having.

If you don't need 4 channels, I'd give the Marantz 661 a look, and maybe one of the used FR2-LEs that go for dirt cheap here in the YS.  Haven't used either, but both are smaller and have pretty long track records around here, as you probably know.

I'm just checking it out in case my DR-680 takes a crap.
Six to eight channels is nice, but I can get along pretty well with four.

Mine has run flawlessly on every SD card I've stuck in it and many of those were Class 2 Walmart sale items. I've read of other people having problems with some cards but just haven't seen it myself. I do format my cards in the machine before each use, maybe that's the trick.

The 16GB SanDisk I got at Office Max yesterday formatted, checked, and recorded and formatted again and again.  I should stop in the morning and get another...wow, what a fine piece of work this r-44 is. Ahoy y'all!

You mean when and not if?? Seriously, I hope for your sake it never craps out. I was thinking of getting a 680 at some point, but now it's not gonna happen. I honestly wish you the best with yours!
