Looking for a good copy of Dead 7/25/82. I've seen it on a few analog
lists so I'm sure DAT copies are out there. 1000+ hours of Dead and
other bands to trade.

Hey folks, with all this talk about Terrapin vs. other vendors, nobody has
mentioned a major advantage of buying from Terrapin in a market where most of
the vendors all have the same or very close to the same products at the same
prices: If Terrapin does put you on hold, at least you get to listen to some
groovy tunes! ...and isn't that what it's all about? :-)

Date: Fri, 05 Dec 1997 22:09:55 -0600
Hey Now.
DooDah Trees "Oldies Forest" is now accepting applications. The show is
Neil Young & Crazy Horse 11/22/76 (early show) at Boston Music Hall,
Audience Reel > DAT. Quality is *outstanding*. The seed was provided by
Ken Hays/Terrapin tapes...official sponsors of DooDah Trees...thanks y'all!
DooDah Trees "New Forest" will accept applications for the Ominous Seapods
show 11/25/97 @ Bogies in Albany, NY until Monday morning. The show came
off a separate SBD mix > DAT, and we got a *loaner* of the only recording
of this show destined for a video (thanks Big Daddy Seapod and Stan Lobitz).
DooDah Trees "Dead Forest" will announce it's first tree shortly...
Each forest is a separate entity. You can join any or all as a Permanent
or Temporary member. Permanent members *automatically* roll over to the
next tree in that particular forest. Temp's do not. You can come and go
from any forest as often as you like, provided you keep your commitments to
the tree...and DooDah Code runs a tight ship, so if you're not serious
don't bother :)
We are accepting DAT and analog, branch and leaf positons. To join, go to
our web site (URL Below) and take the link to DooDah Trees.
NOTE: *NO* current members have been rolled over to the "Oldies Forest", so
everybody must sign-up to be included.
Keep on Truckin' on....

I've been waiting for a *very* long time for the Event Electronics Layla
card to come out, and in that time (believing their schedule) I made a
committment to another musical mailing list to make a members' CD. I'm
at then end of my rope, since they assurred me a couple weeks ago that
it would be shipping last friday. Needless to say. . .
I can do the editing and burning and touching up and all that, but I
can't get the raw bits onto the initial CD-R from the DAT. If you can
do this for a reasonable fee or trades or whatever, please contact me
asap. I've got a ~600-item DAT list or $ for compensation.
Thanks.
Oh, high-quality sample-rate-conversion will be required. Some tracks
will be 44.1 and some will be 48.

>I've decided to buy a dedicated UPS for my cloning machines.
Yes, I run my decks, my video equipment, and each of my computers from
APC UPS boxes. They're great. For this purpose, though, the thing to
watch out for is the output waveform. The "Back-UPS" and "Smart-UPS VS"
both run 8-bit stepped output waveforms, which have a lot of
distortion. I was very converned about running that into linear power
supplies like the audio and video equipment has, so I went for the
Smart-UPS models, which have true sinewave output. Nice units.
If you buy 'em at CompUSA with a company discount you'll save a *ton* of
money (like >$100 per box for the $450 Smart-UPS units).

"[W]hat promoters [of computers in education] never talk about is what
is not inherently encouraged by the computer, and is, therefore, less
valued in using it than those cited above. Here is a short list:
* The pursuit of truth. * The comprehension of great ideas.
* The generation of new ideas. * The discovery of meaning.
* The use of good judgment. * The exercise of emotional maturity.
* The development of wisdom.
These are precisely the qualities that I believe should be the
fundamental goals of education -- and the computer itself does nothing
to enhance them." - Steve Talbott, http://www.ora.com/staff/stevet/meditations/

Hi...I started reading this digest mostly to inhale
whatever technical info I could (and I have!). But
the more I hear you folks talk about tapes you're trading
the more I'm itching to get into that. My request:
I'd really love some live Dave Mathews; I have nothing
to offer in return yet (don't even have two decks at
the moment); but I would gladly send you blank dats and
would most certainly remember the favor down the road
when I'm able to. Sorry if this is the wrong place to
ask this, email me if you'd consider helping me out.

I've got a few bands taped that I'd like to nominate for a Tree Farm. Did I
mention that one of them (Rolling Thunder, SoCal area) sounds like
Dead/Phish and does Dead covers? <g> (They're producing their own CD, and
they're _very_ taper-friendly.)

I use Word '97 (or 7.0, whatever) and it makes fine DAT labels. Three per

Hey folks!
Big time lurker here. been subscribed for 3months. I am a unidecker, got a
DA20MKii from Terrapin"they rock"Tapes 1 month ago. I did a lot of shopping
around before buying my deck and found that the Terrapin employess were the
most polite & patinet ( i asked a LOT of stupid questions!!) Needless to say i
only deal with them. They are very quick!! plus give a discount when paying
with a check!! thats just my take on this terrapin thread. I dont know enough
about error rates & shedding yada yada yada enough to criticize. I have
learned not to buy unlabeled DATs now matter where they are from.
I do have one question for yall. i have noticed that some people say that KAO
tapes are the work of Satan , while others love them. I have a few KAO Golds,
no probs here. could someone shed some light on this debate for me?
Being a uni-decker i am always looking for folks who can clone a show for me.
im ISO the following
GibbDroll Band
7/11-13/97 Charlotte, Raliegh, hampton & 10/31/97 Richmond VA
id also love any others!!! I'm also looking for Pearl Jam, Gov't Mule,
ABB , Little Feat etc.... anyone on this list in Richmond VA?

When I subscibed to this list, there was no mention that my name and email
address would be stolen and used to send commercial SPAM. The first time
I recieved unsolicited email from A-D, I responded and asked that they
remove me from their list. Now, I am getting multiple copies of their
"news letter" which is really not much of a news letter but is just one
long advertisement. Now my responses to them bounce.
Hey Dan! Hey Larry! Wake up you two clowns. I'll not be buying anything
from you because you steal email addresses and send unsolicited commercial
spam. TAKE ME OFF YOU SPAM LIST NOW! My needs are more than satisfied by
the vendors who don't feel it neccessary to send multiple copies of trash
to my mailbox.

Somehow I lost the "door" that encloses the battery. I have been
using a wide rubber band to hold the battery in. I will enclude the
rubber band at no additional cost. :-) :-)
The reason for selling...ever since I bought my mics I have had no
need for it. I am asking $120.

Subject: Extended warranty questions
Date: Sat, 06 Dec 97 16:43:17 -0500
-- [ From: Bryan Fox * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --
I finally got my IDS extended warranties in the mail today that I bought
from Terrapin back in April. No big deal. I'm sure many others on this
list have warranties that they also bought through Terrapin. As I'm reading
the terms and conditions on the back, I came across the section on
exclusions and limitations. To quote part of it:
The Agreement does not cover products used commrcially; failure of the
product due to operation under conditions other than those for which it was
designed; installation or setup cost; diagnostic charges; pickup and
delivery charges; periodic checkups and/or maintenance; loss of use of the
product; products not originally covered by a manufacturer's warranty; and
failures outside the United States.........
And it goes on. My question here surrounds the "periodic checkups and/or
maintenance" part. What I'm wondering is, does this provision exclude
getting my heads cleaned? Seems like it does. Does this provision exclude
my heads being replaced when they wear out? I don't know. In the beginning
of this section, under Your Benefits From This Agreement, it says "The
Selling Dealer as shown on the reverse side of this Agreement will pay on
your behalf the cost of labor and repair or replacement parts in the event
your product fails to operate as a result of a manufacturer's defect. This
Agreement covers all parts and labor unless stated otherwise on the reverse
side of this Agreement, or excluded in Item 3 below." Well, I then go down
to part A or Item 3, and it says: "The following costs are your
responsibility: Repair or replacement of parts normally designated to be
replaced periodically or consumed during the life of the product.....". As
far as I know, DAT heads are known to wear down with use and need
replacement after a finite period of time. So it would seem that replacing
worn heads is not covered in this policy. BUT......when I bought the
warranty from Terrapin, and again when I asked on a later date, I was told
that both head cleanings and head replacement were covered. So........has
anyone had any experience with this? Has anyone here tried to use their
warranty to get their heads replaced for free, or to get them cleaned, and
gotten turned down? Or have you succeeded in coming away with your wallet
as fat as it was before? I'm just trying to get an idea of what people's
experiences have been in the past, particulary if it's with the same IDS
company. Gives me a bit of a leg to stand on (or no leg to stand on) when I
ask them to cover the cost of cleanings and new heads. Oh, BTW, I have a
Tascam DAP-1 with approx. 250 hours on it (hasn't needed to be cleaned yet)
and a Panasonic SV-3800 with over 1500 hours on it (already been cleaned
once, at about 850 hours, because of diginoise, at a cost to me of about
$120). Both of these decks were bought back in April.
On an interesting side note, I also have a Sony DTC-790, which I bought
March '96 from The Good Guys, and got their extended warranty. After approx
. 2000 hours (conservative estimate), I started to get diginoise and had to
get the heads cleaned, which the warranty from Good Guys covered completely.
Their warranty also covers head replacement. Oh, and the warranty is for 6
years and cost me about $80 at the time of purchase. After another 750 or
so hours on the deck since the end of September (damn I'm spinning a lot of
tapes), it's still going strong. Probably the only piece of Sony equipment
I've ever owned that's worked this well...
Anyway, thanks for listening, if you can help, please let me (and the list,
as I'm sure there are many people here who are in the same situation) know.
Thanks.
Bryan
