Marantz 671 in the field... Part 2

[Chuck]

It's not here yet, you probably already kone of it but: Super MOD  <snip>

Ah, I did not know about the Super MOD - thanks.  That sounds like what I would need, but I'm not sure it would satisfy both my loud amplified and quiet unamplified recording scenarios, though, with only a 30 dB gain range.

I'm sending my stock unit back soon to get the ACM mod (hopefully this week), if it's not being used when it gets back I could send it your way to give it a try.

I appreciate the offer.  No need to send me your ACM, though, as I'm a ways off from making any changes.  At the moment, I'd still like to give 4-ch a try, though I find I'm not using 4-ch as much as I'd hoped.  If I go back to strictly 2-ch, then the Super MOD 671 is something I'd consider in place of the V3/MT.

Brian, I just spoke with Doug today in reguards to the Super Mod (you wouldn't want it), the mod is geared more towards sources that need an exceptional amount of gain, the example he gave is recording birds @ up to 200ft away etc.  He mentioned recording some friends with the 414xls mics > ACM671 just the other day, a fairly tame acoustic recording (aprox 6' away) and the ACM yielded some very nice results.  The ACM mod is more what we/you would want to use and I did bring up recording chamber music as a possible scenario.  It sounded like the gain structures of the Super Mod wouldn't even work with what we're using our machines for.

I hope I get my unit back in time, I might head up to your neck of the woods:

The Black Angels Tue 6/13/06 - Empty Bottle, Chicago, IL
Claypool Wed. 6/14/06 - Vic Theatre, Chicago, IL Vic Theatre
The Black Keys 6/17/06 - Taste of Randolph St. Festival Chicago, IL

I'm glad you talked to Doug and clearified that. I suspected that the Super Mod wasn't suited to recording music.

I am a beer lover, but I'm not a fan of the Sierra Nevada beers I have tasted.

I am currently very fond of the New Belgium Brewing Co's (Ft. Collins, CO) 1554.

It's a black beer (not to be confused with stout) that is sweet/rich and very tasty. My local Chili's has it on tap and I drink it when I order the chicken wings. Just the thought of it makes me happy 

Turn me on to a Sierra Nevada, that I can drink more than two of.    I think it's the overly hoppy pale ale style I don't care for.

Thank you, I was going to suggest this or ask if your local pub could get some of our special beers on tap (usually only on tap in Chico) which would be Pilsner, Schwarzbeir, Vienna, or ScotchAle. You really have to look for a pub that carries Sierra regularly or a pub that cares about their big customers. Schwarz (dark lager) would be close to the 1554 maybe not as heavy.
