OK..My turn:
I use the HHB Portadisc MD but always keep a Sony TCM 5000 as a back-up. I
have many extra battery packs for the battery eating HHB. For mics..Telinga
Parabolic set up with single Sennheiser MKH 20 P 48 mic which runs off the
phantom
power of the HHB. I could use about 5-10 more dB gain at times. Back-ups are
ME 66 and 67 Sennheisers..hand held. My goal is not pristine beautiful
recordings (although I love it when this happens), but representative
vocalizations
of a publishable quality. I have to have the recorder ready for immediate
recording and this is why I use so many batteries with the Portadisc. I use
rechargeables NiMH and have a MH C777 Universal charger as well as the
Portadisc for
recharging. So far, so good.
My best,
John
