Marantz 671 in the field... Part 2

[tfs8271]

Here is a less costly portable strorage device that you might like to consider! It is only 20GB but is inexpensive and should handle anything short of weekend festival as 20GB at 24/96 will give you just under ten hours of capacity.  There are others out there if you look under camera accessories.

Got one...it works great.

doesnt list the cf>hd transfer sped, the quick ones are at 16MB/sec, anything slower may not transfer in time between sets, you'd be scramblin' between sets but YMMV, i have no first-hand experience, just research to determine that

I did a test not long ago. I will try to find the tread. I usually use it in the hotel after a show to get my card ready for day two. I also have a backup 1 GB card that I could use while downloading.

Found it...2.3 GB in 29 minutes

for those looking for a CF>HD portable device, look no further than the Hyperdrive HD80... http://www.hyperdrive.com

Their service is great and it's a speedy, quality device. I can do 4gb in about 10-12 min.

I would agree, if I had to do it over again I would have purchased a faster device than my Inoi 20Gb. The Inoi is fine but not the fastest. I will use it until I really need something with a larger drive and faster download rates...like when I go to the 671 @ 24 bit.

Has anyone started posting their 671 recordings on bt.etree or other sites yet...I'm dying to hear Neumann>ACM PMD671.

I just recorded Zero March 11, 2006 C-481> ACM PMD671, 24 bit, I'm not completely happy with it, but I can B&P the raw unedited files if anybody wants it.

It's worth the wait

I just bought a Maha 801 charger for 70.00. It's supposed to charge 8aa's in an hour. We'll see how it goes.

Congrats... on the 671. Let us know how you like it.
+T for making your own power cable.

I ran mine Friday night for the first time.  Worked GREAT, was super easy to use, level meters are really nice, and not having to wait for realtime playback when doing transfer to PC is AWESOME!  I'm excited.

I've got a dinosaur PC with only USB 1.0. My transfer time for 4 GB (4 hours of 24 bit, 48 kHz) is right around an hour. Though not great, it sure beats transfering DATs in real time.

I use a card reader, rather than plugging into the 671 for transfers.

chuck, my computer may be quicker than yours cause its newer, but i get WAY better times transferring w/ the usb cable vs. card reader.

I've stayed away from transfering from the recorder directly after hearing someone had problems doing it that way.
It looks like I'm going to have to do some tests...
