To get the mods you have to purchase the unit from Oade.

Post by: bl6216@yahoo.com on July 30, 2006, 01:24:09 PM: I am trying to find a all in one unit that will not brake the bank. It just needs to sound good with my MBHO's and get me to the end of year so I can get the rest of the money to pick up a SD 722. ;D PaullySC thanks for that little bit of info I know that oade don't mod any thing that was not got from him I have a oade w-mod Ua5 and love it. I was looking at the 600 or the 671 becouse I have a friend that works for a stor that sale Marantz units. That was why I was looking at this units and whanted to know if any one other then oade did mods on them. If any one has any other info in what they think I should do I would be very gateful to hear it. Thanks all for the help.

Might not want a 722 after you hear the box. :P

I read something on the oade site today about them modding units not bought from them but it depends on the serial#, I believe its just older units.

Super Mod is for Nature Recording... real low level super quiet stuff. Opposite end of the spectrum gain stage wise but ultra quiet.

Post by: Chuck on August 09, 2006, 10:49:43 PM: What is the "newer design" machines Doug mentions on the upgrades pages for the 671 and 660? Are there now two different versions of these recorders ???
Title: Re: Marantz PMD-671 / Marantz PMD-600 mod INFO
Post by: Jammin72 on August 10, 2006, 11:26:25 AM: On the 660 I know they changed the native voltage (Up to 5V) of the mainboard which allowed for use of some different op-amps... hence the Birth of the WCM that I now have!!
Title: Re: Marantz PMD-671 / Marantz PMD-600 mod INFO
Post by: Chuck on August 10, 2006, 01:26:23 PM: I wonder... was the 671 changed?

Post by: Mike R. on August 10, 2006, 05:01:50 PM: So they've done a new spin of the board for the 660. I wonder if the audio quality is any better on the stock unit now...
