I would like to get a modded R-44.  I'm getting out of video and switching to just audio for awhile.

Which mod do people like better the oade's concert or bussman's transparent?

I'm mostly a  taper; not worried about the size.  Does anyone else use their r-44 for  purposes?  PM me please.

I would probably run it with some Nevaton MCE 400's (HRTF) and a pair of cards after I find something I like. Any suggestions.

Perhaps the first thing to do is to identify what you don't like about the stock R-44 sound.  Then identify which mod claims to fix the problem.  If you just go on other people's preferences, then you'd have to hope that your taste in sound was the same as theirs.  There have been no reports here of valid tests (either listening or bench tests) of these competing mods vs the stock device, so it's down to subjective personal opinions.

So XMAS Jam was my first time running the R-44.  I have to say I am very impressed with the stock pre.  I was using Nak 300's with shotguns directly into the R-44.  The sound is nice and clean, and warm.  Just my two cents....I am going to hold off on any mods till I run it a few more times, before even thinking about a mod.

i'm perfectly happy with the sound of my stock unit.

Nice to see the Nak shotguns still being ran.  I'm almost thinking of keeping the ones I have up FS in the yard, just in case I ever want to run guns myself.  Not that much money tied up in them, I just don't know if I want them sitting in a drawer most of their lives. lol

Anyone using a San Disk Ultra II 16 gig?  Santa brought me one, and just checking to see if this works or if I should return for a different one.

it has a sandisk 16gb card listed with more detailed numbers you can see if it matches yours

Outdoor people might be interested to hear that I used my R-44 for several hours at -11° Celsius with no problems at all. This baby just never lets me down...

[Scooter]

Can someone point where to get or how to make a battery cable to fit the 9v Dvd battery?  .... Also how long will the unit run on a sigle battery charge? 

[leehookem]

Go to Radio Shack and pick up three things.  An adapta-plug cable, a B tip, and a M tip.  Done.  Just remember that the R44 is center pin negative.
