Hey all,
I am having a tough time deciding on which one of these two recorders I should buy. I am new to taping but I am technologically inclined. What I need is some personal recommendations, pro and cons. That sort of thing. Most of the recordings I will be doing will be from a Soundboard feed till I get some goos mics.
Thanks,
Keith

Most of the whining I've heard about the PMD-660 (including from me!) has been about the mic preamps. Line in on a stock 660 has worked just great for me. I just got an ADV mod 660 from Oade. It's not perfect, but it's a lot closer to perfect than the stock unit. I've gone from "I can deal with this", to feeling that it's pretty good.

PMD-660 = 16bit.
R1 = 24bit.
(I think...)

Mrosenlof - did you find that the mod made any difference on line-in recording?

I would say if you're just doing sbd recordings for now, I'd go with the R-1 as it's smaller, cheaper, and is more easily powered for longer times.
