Newbie gettin' back into...
« on: May 30, 2006, 04:53:54 PM »
...the game...Somewhat...
My D-6 died last week (go ahead and laugh, I still do but it served my needs well...no cd player in my vehicle and instant gratification) and I'm lookin' for a new toy.  Minidisc, mini-cassette, Sony, DAT, IRiver, Marantz...lost reading reviews...
I'd like something I can record my band and load up to the pc and burn cd's...
Something I can hook my audio technicas into and record Ratdog/Abb/Mule, etc...
I really appreciate any input...a pal @ Tooboard.net referred me...
Thanks...

if you dont need digital-in or higher res than 16/48, I highly recommend the Marantz PMD660 w/ the ACM mod by Doug Oade.

All said and done with a 4GB card, you're looking at $850 at the most.

Up to 5 bills...
Any more and the wife may chop off the old..ah, forget it...it'll bring back memories for her of being forgotten in the taper's pit at the old boston Garden...
Anyway, Marantz are very tempting...
That Sony you have windorabug, happy w/it?

#1 question here. We have FAR too much fun spending other people's money (because we have none of our own left...) ;D

you may want to look into an Edirol R-1 or the newly released R-09. you'd be right around the 500 mark after getting some compact flash cards.

units are small for low-pro/stealth situations as well.

No problems loading mic recorded tunes onto a pc w/that Sony?
That is the biggest complaint within the on-line product reviews...
Now for the Edirols...

That problem is old and has been addressed with the newer versions of Sonic Stage

The new one is nice, but if you want something even cheaper, go with MZH-800.  I think that is $168 at minidisc-canada.com.  The Canadian prices are a bit cheaper for MD I've found.  This one has a single AA battery, and has both mic and line input.  Really solid unit, and no special batteries to worry about.  I've gotten over 6hrs recording on a single 2500mAh NiMH battery!
