This is a timeless classic after just a few years on the market. I waited 40 years for this recorder to come out, having suffered through "portable" $3K reel-to-reel recorders and then insufferably unreliable cassette recorders since the early Seventies. The 660 takes some getting used to and time to build your confidence in its use. Before Marantz was purchased by a private equity company, you could call Marantz directly and talk to tech support. I have four 660's now and wouldn't trade them for anything. Bulletproof reliable, super long record times (70 plus hours on a 4GB CF card), lightweight, and cheap (new, less than $500. eBay, about half). Once you program this recorder and make a few notes to remind yourself of the order in which you press buttons (I'm over 60), this is a breeze. I use Martel's all-in-one transcribing program with the 660 and it's a marriage made in heaven. Try 2 Shure boundary mikes with phantom power for awesome conference recording. Set it for line in to record from mixers. This is a true plug and play, or should I say "record and play" recorder. No drawbacks, no complaints, no disappointments. Try it, you'll like it.Read full review
The recorder I have looks and functions like I just bought it brand new (I didn't). What an amazing machine, so many options to choose from, yet the menu selection is very easy and intuitive to navigate- even for a dummy like me. I've got mine hooked up to a 16 channel mixer to record our band's live performances, and the sound quality is equal to my big $$$$ mixer in my studio! Turn it on, push the record button and you are recording - it really is that simple to use, yet so versatile. I don't know why I waited so long to get this beautiful Marantz Digital Recorder.

Just tested it out briefly and it appears to work very well. The real test will come when the World Professional Chuckwagon Racing season gets underway and we will be recording the live call of each heat so we can quickly feature the hot heat of the night in our wrap up show. Ask me again in the summer when we are broadcasting the Ponoka Stampede, The Calgary Stampede etc.
