great customer support
Im torn between this thing and the pmd-671
the pmd-671 can be used as an all-in-one w/ the ACM mod but is def more pricey than these
or I can get the MT and 2 (4) GB cards for about 750, w/ a battery setup already ready to go taboot!
bean, i'm with you on the decision between this and the 671...only i figure i'll never trade in my v3, so i'll really only need the 671 to record.
i think right now i'm leaning toward the mt more so...i think the future updates will bring it up to par, and i think it'll be a pretty solid 24bit recorder, at least as solid as the jb3 is a 16bit recorder. plus powering it seems pretty simple.
I hear you on this. I can't see ditching my M148 > V3, unless the mod 671 ends up smoking the V3. So, I'm looking for a 24 bit capture device.
Additionally, someone raised the question with Doug as to whether or not he could do a PMD-660 mod to incorporate 24-bit capabilities. Here's Doug's to whether or not a PMD-660 mod for 24-bit recording is in the works and if so when.
"That is at about one year off if it gets done. It will take a PCB and a firmware hack, time consuming work ! If the microtrackers digital noise audible i the analog circuit is not fixed, I will move forward with it, otherwise I will work out an analog upgrade for the M-Audio piece. I have looked inside it and daydreamed long enough to have a few good ideas....Doug"
Sounds like he's hoping to get a moded Microtracker out. That could be sweet since it would probably be the cheapest 24 bit capture device available even with his mod.
