Anybody any experience of the Marantz PMD660...??

Take google to the archives of rec.audiio.pro .

I seem to recall that people say that it is pretty good. A bit pricey.

I'm toying with the idea of mooching about (next year,
probably) with a view to grabbing 'naturally occuring
sounds' - up to very loud, close-up WW2 aircraft engines,
possibly. Are these gadgets up to it, or are they really
only close-range voice recorders?

This class of machines are really pretty good digital recorders.

I'm kinda dismissing the Edirol, Nagra and Maycom options
on the same page, but the Fostex looks interesting...??

Why dismiss any of them? Why not consider the Sony, M-Audio and Samson
alternatives?

And why sodding CF cards - is there a particular
reason...??

CF are cheap and effective and lots of people already have them.
