I'm not going to bother inserting quotes - you'll all know who I'm responding to.
I continue to use and enjoy my 70D. 99% of the time, it has worked great for me. It's not perfect, but I like the way it sounds and it gets the job done. It doesn't have enough mass to make an effective doorstop anyway.
A separate thread for venting / complaints could be a good idea. It would be for people to post complaints about all Tascam products that get used around here. If people think Tascam in general is junk and that thread gets a lot of action, that will ensure it gets seen by lots of people and dissuade them from purchasing their products if that's what your goal is.
Understand that I don't mind the bitching so much - just the blatant repetitive trolling and celebration that someone was made to feel uncomfortable enough to bail. That's just sad. I suppose it's your right if that's really what you want to do, but then I have an equal right to complain about you. And if you're going to bitch, maybe consider doing it directly to Tascam. If it's the same handful of people repeatedly, that easy to ignore. We did have this opportunity here on the board before Tom left, so now we're left with customer service contacts, if that is worth anything. Or, much as I think it was/is ridiculous, file a BBB complaint as Morst did if you think it's truly warranted.
Minor correction to the statement that Tascam had the "wrong list posted... for over a year": The lists posted on the USA site were always correct. Of course, there was no list at all for quite a while after it was first released, as it seems to be their pattern. The only wrong list appeared on the Europe page for the 70D, which also had (still has) other mistakes, and is lousy in general which I emailed Tascam about. That doesn't help you if you based a card purchase on that inaccurate list, I get that.
Regarding issues with past Tascam products: The 70D is the first Tascam product I've used since a 302 pro tape deck about 15 years ago, so I don't have any other past negative experiences to compare to. But the business with the DR-100 / MKII does demonstrate there is a pattern of rushing things to the market, as does the recent update of the 701D.
I do think that most major manufacturers aren't really paying attention to much on this board, so maybe TS is easy to ignore. Several company reps hang out on JWSound, though as it seems to have a higher number of audio professionals as members. Maybe start posting there if you want them to notice you.
