Topic: Marantz PMD 671 in the field Part 3...

I've searched and I know having 2 4gb cards is better than 1 8gb card, but anyone succesfully gotten the 671 to properly read an 8 gb card?

hey Tommy did you ever run the schoeps?

I'm considering mk4 > kc5 > cmc6 > ACM 671 as my next venture.

no..that was the night the 671 messed up on me.

why would the ability to run 4 continuous hours of 24/96 be a worse option than running two two hour chips?

[sam]

Most of the stuff i tape is less than  an hour and a half.  Having 2 cards if one fails I can still run. But if the 671 can't recognize an 8gb card it is a moot issue. Which is why i asked the question.

one person previously tried with a sandisk(?) and failed, formatiing it both in a comp and in the 671. (it only recognized it as 4gb)
however marantz and doug say it will work if the card is formatted in a comp, but no one has tried it yet besides that one time.
once the 8gb cards drop in price I'm sure more of us will give it a go with various brands, but for now they are too expensive (for me atleast) to drop the coin and experiment.  I currently have a 2gb and 4gb kingston and both work flawlessly fwiw.

so, as of now, I don't think a sandisk 8gb will work. 

Sandisk Ultra II did not format in the 671.  I didn't have a card reader at the time to try it.

if somebody wants to send me a 8gb card, i will be happy to try it.

OK, I finally have the funds for a 671 and plan to order from Oade so I can have the ACM mod done later. I plan to run MBHOs->V2->671. Is this the right thing to do?Am I making a mistake? (and no I don't have funds for a 722)

[leehookem]

correct, no computer format.  just the 671

sell the V2 and mini-me and get the 671



did I just say that?

Until I have the mod done I was going to use the V2 and go line in. The mini-me is leaving today.

why not sell the V2 and go ahead and get the ACM?

I have to keep the V2 for doing matrixs, the preamp on the Mackie 1202VLZ are less than stellar.

gotcha.

stock 671 and upgrade later.

[nottingham]

Me too.
