Problems with the CF-mod! Beware!
I taped moe a few weeks ago, which was my first field test with the CF mod. When I listened to it, the recording had faint but audible "clicks" either in the left, right or in both channels. I thought it could be to digi noise because it was an unbalanced connection going from my Aerco to the MR-1, and it was easily handled by iZotope Declicker.
However I finally got a chance to sit down over the last few days and go through the recording chain. It definitely appears to be a problem with having the CF card in the MR-1. Replacing it with the Mtron SSD resulted in a click-free recording. Even when I don't feed it a signal, there are periodic clicks in the recording. When I feed it an amplified signal, the frequency of the clicks increases.
So a word of caution to you igene, because I know you're planning on dropping a few nickels on that Hoodman. As it stands, I am going back to the SSD.
