Topic: My DMIC-20 Finally Died / PMD-660 As a Replacment?

[richieg1967]

I've been away from these board for a long long time.

I run Schoeps CMC6/MK4 > DMIC-20 > D8. The reason I ran this rig was because it was simple for me to run. My DMIC-20 finally died and its time to replace it. My last 2 times out I came back with digi-noise all over my masters. Time to move on from DAT as well...

I'm tired of carrying around a lot of gear. I am looking at a low cost all-in-one box and I am very interested in the Busman mod pmd-660. Looking for some feedback on recordings made cmc6/mk4 > busman mod pmd-660. Can someone send me a link for some shows made with this same rig?

Thanks for any/all help & feedback.

Don't know what your budget is, but if I had the money, would scoop up the V3 in the yardsale along with a new Microtrack II. Total cost $1350.  Love all the recordings I have heard with that combo. Any Schoeps>V3 care to step in?

I've pretty mutch made my decision about moving to the PMD660. Its right in my price range and I've read nothing but great reviews. I can only imagine that it will be a huge step up from old dmic-20.....

Now to decide where to buy it and where/which mod. is right for it.
I don't suppose anyone in NJ/NY has one to lend me for Railroad Earth at Mexicali this Saturday?

If not anyone want to use the 64's?
