Does anybody know where unity gain is on the 671 when running line in?  Since I'll usually be running a V2 in front of the 671, I'd like to set it up properly.....  FYI, I called Marantz tech support and they were clueless.

Bean, i ordered a Maha charger and some Powerex's from Thomas last month and it took me forever to navigate thru that site.  Great products & prices, poor web site, methinks...

I just bought these:

2700 mAh at 1.25 volts.   4/$10

+T, im still unsure if i wanna go w/ these 8 x AA's or some 12v NIMH 5000mah packs for going straight into the 671 i have a dope NIMH charger so........

again, these sem to be the least hassle, less weight in the long run

just buy a few extra sled's for the 671 and keep them loaded w/ fully charged batts to keep swapping at festies

I can now sell my last 6v eco+charger finally, im gonna miss sla's tho, i ran them for 6 years

anybody want a good condition eco 6v 7.2amp+eco charger? and also fs are a 'chun' smart charger for NIMH/NICD RC packs!

maiden voyage last night for jerry joseph solo at the south's chattiest bar. ran u89(hypers)>148>671(line-in)@24/48. first,  let me say, this box is a frickin breeze to use. especially w/ the presets. the levels are awesome (fast/accurate). the show was short so the batts were not an issue, but ive been getting well over 4 hours testing at home. the recording is as good as can be expected considering the crap pa, the chatty drunks, and boomy room. cant wait to get this thing in a more acoustic pleasing enviroment. that said, if you are on the fence about getting a 671, DO IT! especially if you already have a fav pre. if not wait til the acm comes out and have one hell of a all-in-one box for 1/2 the price of a 722. i am ecstatic w/ the stock unit.

You'd be suprised at how nice the BCM is, it stacked up quite nicely against a V3 analog out > DVRA-1000 which has a pretty kick ass A/D.

the "gain utility" is the knobs on the front.  they are used for mic and line input.  what I dont know...is if it acts as an attenuator durring line input mode ala DAP1.  If that were the case, youd want to run it as wide open as possible and adjust the preamp accordingly.

IMO, if you know the V2s normal gain settings w/your mics, then just adjust the 671s gain so that you are able to run the V2 in the usual manner.

So the 671 has USB out, and the new tascam unit has firewire out, no?  What kind of transfer times are you guys getting on the USB transfers with this?

i moved 2.75gb in 8 minutes via usb1.1. that may be long to some, but i just found something else to do while it x-ferred. couldnt be happier.

you lost me here nick. with the m148 there are no adjustments, so i adjusted accordingly w/ the 671. is running the 671 wide-open a good/bad thing.
