Hello all, until recently I was mostly around tapehads, but now I have bought a Marantz CP430 and then a Sony D6C, so it's about time that I join the portable crowd here.
I had the Marantz for about a year, my father had one, but it broke many years agò and never came back from the technician. So last year I decided to buy another in "perfect working condition", it arrived in dreadful conditions. After a few months, and a lot of fixes it now works quite well, so I'm bringing it to concerts and jam sessions as often as I can. I use it with Soundman OKM "in hear" microphones https://www.thomann.de/gb/soundman_okmii_incl_adapter_a3.htm to do live binaural recordings. I plan to do the same with the Sony that I recently got. I have some samples that I have digitalised with a Marantz PMD 670. I used some Sony HF from early 2000 for the DBX recordings (this is the tape the recorder is calibrated for) and some Fuji FR-ii super with Dolby B. There is a bit of distortion in the dbx recording, in the loudest "shouts" points, that is not the recorder fault, it's the mic preamplifier gain was a bit too high. Enjoy, and let me know what you think. https://mega.nz/folder/c7QhUIyT#A7T3QBPMbq0cCX4DwQLx9Q Report
