Many thanks to everyone in the group that commented on my questions and
concerns. I really appreciate the input. I also had positive input from the
audio technicians at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC Radio &
Television) and a few others that use Marantz at a professional level -- I
ordered the PMD661-MKII last week, it should be in this week. I am convinced I
will have made the right decision. Can't wait to start using it.
Thanks again,
Scott
