Title: tascam hd-p2 and cf cards
Post by: panther65 on September 24, 2006, 10:54:41 PM: Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything with a search. Which 8 gig CF cards have people using the Tascam HD-P2 had the best luck with? Also, 4gig?

For 8GB: Transcend and PQI. For 4GB: Kingston

some folks have also been using the Sandisk Ultra II series. both 4 GB and 8 GB varieties, with zero problems

According to Oade, regular speed is fine for recording. The speed difference is for when you transfer.

Maybe the better question is who has come across CF cards that do NOT work in the deck...

Post by: rodeen on September 26, 2006, 09:53:07 AM: I've used a Hitachi 4GB microdrive without any problems @ 24/48. Also FWIW Kingston 2GB CF works great too.

Post by: Myco on December 11, 2006, 04:56:30 PM: I use a 4Gb SanDisk Ultra II. Prolly gonna get a 8Gb as well due to problems with my Transcend 8 Gb CF card.

I just had to return a Transcend 8Gb due to speed failure, but so far I'm one of only two people who have reported problems with this card.

Post by: Myco on December 13, 2006, 08:45:34 AM: I just received a new Transcend 8Gb 120x cf card and tested it out at all sampling rates and bit depths and it came through with flying colors so I must have just gotten a bad card the first time. They appear to be worth the cash savings if you choose to try it out. ;D

side note: I tried recording a 24/192kHz sample and I was blown away at how realistic it sounded. Listening back to it i had to remove my headphones because I thought i had left my stereo on. :o
