Hi,
I use Zoom for about 1.5 year and just for about 2 months with Church preamp and mics (btw they are great ). But some month ago I recorded show with 'line in' and transcend 2GB sd card (never problems with this) and something happened wrong at the end of the recording when I check on PC - lots of distortion in few minutes and then they are gone. After this I supposed maybe some speakers have troubles on this gig - but thats was a stupid think. So I record week later another one gig but with Kingston card and everythink was ok.
But after this gig line-in stop working :/ (earlier had some problems with contacts with this socket)
Some days ago the same happened what I mentioned above even when I record with mic-in and transcend card (from this gig all below samples). And once again day later I recorded another show with kingston card without problems (audio synched with video

I never changed my recording position, near 'Mr Acoustician' and far away from scene. battery ni-mh fully louded. SD cards always formated. CA-9100 about 11o'clock.
Screen shoots to show You guys what I'm talking about:
both channels in cue1 and cue2 include distortions
part of spectral view
Sampel to recognize problem (raw file, wave 8mb), first half clean and then distorted.

? I'm realy gratefull for any opinions, help, assistance.
For 3 days I will record the same band and realy scare what happened
But this time I will record on another sd card.
Sorry for my bad english.
