I've had mine since September, 11 shows, with no problems and very pleased with how it performs and sound. However, I've not tried any playback on the unit. After a show I plug it into my pc at home and transfer the files.
It makes me wonder if my SD cards are getting long in the tooth or something.

Here are the SD cards Tascam has tested on the 60D (scroll to the bottom): http://tascam.com/product/dr-60d/specifications/One would assume their testing would have included playing back files with those cards. I picked up a couple of the Lexar cards @ B&H when they had some good sale prices going on.
We have a external battery that we bought for a phone at one point and I'm curious if it will be ok to run my DR-60D with both channels of phantom running. It's one of these: http://www.powerpractical.com/product/lithium-4400-battery-bankI think my GF's parents bought it for her and one point but she never uses it. It says it puts out 5V @ 1A. I don't really know anything about external power so I'm just curious if it's worth buying something else (this one appears to powering it fine as I'm testing it right now). edit: I guess my main question is a. is this unit giving less power than some of the others mentioned? and b. if it is, would that have detrimental effects on the functioning of the unit (quality of audio, level of sound floor, etc...) other than battery life?
Anyone running a preamp into channels 3/4? If so where are you setting your gain knob on the front?I plan to run a pre for 3/4 and use the 1/2 for SBD patches when available. The places that I've asked for a patch lately only have XLR matrix outs.Or run two sets of mics sometimes for shits and giggles.

I ran exactly this recently. SBD > XLR> 1/2 and Mics > Aerco > 3/4. Even with the gain setting the LOW and knobs way down, channels 3/4 were running hot. I also ran into the M10 and was able to mix the two in post. Would applying a gain reduction in the "mixer" of the 60D remedy this? Or should I just use attenuators?
Were you running mic-in or line-in on 3/4?
