We have talked about this before.

Although it might not be the right place to ask this, but you guy know your shit. I'm looking for a storage devise to transfer from my CF card for festivals. I have a 20GB Ioni and know about the Compactdrives (which I might upgrade to because they are faster and more downloads per battery life than my Ioni).

I came across this which would be nice. I would have a radio, could store a movie or two, has a internal mic for recording voice items...or what ever, line in for recording TV, DVD. I have an email asking if I transfer my CF card onto it will I be able to listen to the WAV file (it supports WAV playback) or does it have to come from a PC download? I would think it would play from my CF download. I also asked if it would support viewing from a SD download from a Cannon other than the ones on their list. If anyone is interested I will let you know about the reply.

I can tell you for sure the less fancy PD70X rocks face!!

Uses standard NiMH "AA" Batteries, will transfer all weekend without a recharge, very fast transfer rates, and the case is designed quite well.  Only thing at all I'm worried about on it is the Hinges on the front door flap, but we'll see...

It looks to me like this would do everything you need plus allow you to connect a vid cam directly to it to record vid if you wanted, plus be usable as an entertainment peice for watching videos on the road, plus allow viewing of txt files, plus play your wav files.  Seems like a peice that would do it all!

At least they sell replacement door flaps. Therefore, they must be weak.

+T to you and mmmatt

How does the ACM mod compare to the WCM mod on the 660?  I'm planning on running C4's in front of it and I'm not sure which way to go?

and PaullySC, do you have any C4>660 shows up on etree or the archive?  I'm curious to see what the combo sounds like.
Thanks



You know what, I'll probably be putting up my source for the bgug show up today or tomorrow. I think the sound was effected by going 660 > jb3 (via headphone jack). The jb3 was a friends but I have my 660 source. I need to get it up and get more blueground undergrass spreading, these guys deserve to be heard. I'm extremely pleased with how this show turned out. The thing to know is this is far from the best sounding venue. The venue is ok soundwise but not really good.

ABSOLUTELY... the line out or headphone out of the 660 is NOT equivalent to what you're putting on your CF!

The headphone amp on the 660 is brutal unfortunately.. even in my car after the show with no ambient noise, I couldn't even hear the recording well with the volume turned up full... I think maybe Oade's mods affected it somehow? Or it just sucked to begin with...

If you have a cassette deck in the car look at buying a mini>cassette for your ride home. I only use it on the line out (not headphone jack). Bought mine at Radio Shack. Not the best, but does the trick for only $10 until I get home.

I'm in the process of rigging up something to the AUX in on my CD deck, so hopefully all will be well. I don't have a cassette deck in my car since I have no cassettes anymore hah.

My Element has an 1/8" Jack in on the passenger side... waaay cool for this.  The fact that the "line out" varies with the volume knob will be a case in point to the reality of the quality of this output.

Still it's fun to pop in the backup batts and listen on the ride home while the neurons are still keyed in on decoding that space.

yes... read the manual!  Not sure what the feature is called but you can set it to track every 5 minutes or when you hit the >>| button (I think that is how it works... I don't use it)
