Thanks Bernie.
Since I use a PMD670 I thought I would bring it up that in the FAQ
section for the
PMD670 ,<http://www.marantzpro.com/Products/PMD670.html>, it
mentions:  "Typically standard cards with faster read/write speeds
are best. You'll want to stay away from cards marked as "ultra" or
anything else other than standard."
The 8GB one at the link you gave says "Ultra II", so I'm not sure if
it is compatible with the PMD670. I'm also not sure how big a card
the PMD670 can handle: I thought it mentioned 4GB max somewhere.
The biggest "standard" CF that SanDisk offers is apparently 4GB. The
prices on these too are looking better all the time - less than $300
now.
So far I have only tried standard compact flash up to 1GB, so if
anyone has had success with the PMD670 using types other than
standard or with larger sizes, it would be good to know.
