I used two days.
I liked its small size, its key practices and key unique to the recording.
I currently use a mini-disc NH900 HI-MD and I wanted to try the Marantz to mount a step up the quality of my recordings.
Unfortunately, I t trsdu my first test with a micro RALIS Telinga parable of birdsong. The resulting sound is a sound that will remind boiled what is achieved with a cassette magnto 70s.
I rsultats much better with the mini-disc, the notes are much better and I can push dtach levels without the sound seems saturated.

I think the Marantz prampli microphone is involved and that the signal to noise ratio of 60 db indicated by the manufacturer is the main default of this recorder.
I returned the hardware to quickly get a refund and I will now wait before buying the hardware srieux.
Marantz MODEL and certainly on the PMD 670 and 671 made a big mistake and I think that with forums like this and that information travels fast on the Internet, they should learn to correct this weakness .

* Transferring files to the PC USB1 instead of USB2 standard. This is the current standard and the product was released in March 2005!
* The impossibility of making a transfer to PC without the power supply sector. Also, forget the combination laptop / PMD660 in the countryside.
* The appearance of the appliance ... ca falls, it is that cass sr.
* The strap comes with the device is really lgre.

No. Just different MDs and Varis.

- How do you report qualitprix?</span>
I am generally satisfied with the machine. I have tested with a micro LEM DO 21 (I use almost exclusively, as part of the job) and a B2Pro Berhinger. I like the resulats from everything I've experienced before with the mini-discs. I think the MD recorders have a hard time shooting the party really DO LEM 21 ... which probably need a good microphone preamplifier.
More prsence, more depth, clarity. It did not see anything.
Unlike the comment above, I must admit I've never boss with Hi-MD, but MD at all. And the PMD660 is doing much better story if I hold the prciser, I'm not in the absolute purity.
And if we talk about transfer and well even in USB1 it's better that the contents of a minidisc that transfer to the PC in real time.
But ... but the price is too lv me, especially as the MP3 compression limit 128Kb / s failure to register that fact that I PCM 44.1.
I use NiMH batteries with 1800 and I think he is greedy.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...</span>
I wanted to invest in the PMD771 really offering him what I wanted on paper ... but hey, a little excessive in price.
Thus, the PMD should I use ...
For the report, the interview, it's still a great product ... Probably better than the Edirol R1 ...

I do not regret having bought it even if a little competition on this sector is vital because it is much too expensive for what it is

- How long have you use it?
1 week!

+ the simplicity and recording quality
the plastic-very "cheap"

oh yes ... DAT, Nagra, MD ...
- How would you rate the quality / price?

Compared to the price of a Nagra, there's no photo ... Now it is agreed, it is not an audiophile device, but hey, connected to a multitrack console, it can still make the sound rather very beautiful way.

Yes, even if the price is a little toujurs ... how to say .... a little high, I say, this type of device is the only of its kind in this price range, anyway.

So to have it tested in a situation, I say, this is an excellent choice, well ahead the MD who have only taken the mini-jack which switches low quality sometimes made me angry so often. Because what counts, it is not to have the ultimate quality is to have a clean, quality. To have a reliable.

There I found my happiness. I repeat: perfect for the story, some just for the sound of audiophile. But it will fill many services.
