yeah the package requires a signature. i called them three times to try and schedule a time to pick it up. but they said it must be at least attempted to be delivered first. i'll be at work tomorrow but they assured me it would be delivered anytime b/w 8am and 8 pm

yes. you want to run mic in w/ the pad. id keep the levels very conservative.

can/will this run off a walmart battery or do you need to use a sled?

[sygdwm]

i also run the internal aa's in tandem with the external batt.  that way if the external did fail the deck will automatically switch to the internals without missing a beat.

how i roll as well.

i know of one owner (tommy) that had a problem running his off of a walmart type battery.  with that said, i've used one to power the 671 every time i've used it in the field with zero problems.  i did have a battery die on me one time, but that was no fault of the deck; the battery just died and never worked again.

I only had problems running the wal-mart battery using the 48V phantom power on the unit.  I have used it without running the 48V with no problems.

Hey Guys, I have a non-Oade PMD-671 and would like to get an upgrade on the mic pre's. Is Doug still pretty restrictive on who he does mods for? Are there alternatives to an Oade Mod?

Only units purchased from him. 

I have an ACM 671 4-sale in the Yard Sale.  Willing to take offers on it.

[imgoinmad]

I can't nobody's bought that yet. Unfortunately I already own my PMD-671 
Is Doug the only guy that's modded these marantz units?

it's insane how drastically the price dropped for these cards. i bought an 8 gig kingston back in february and paid over $150 bucks.
i think that's a great price. did you see this too:
