From: Karsten Kuepfer <Karsten.Kuepfer@uni-konstanz.de> Subject: Where to send my D3... Reply-To: Karsten.Kuepfer@uni-konstanz.de Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 11:47:57 +0100 Hi there, just returned back home to Germany from my Black Crowes East Coast tour a few days ago. Unfortunately my D3 didn't make it all the way through. I left it with a friend in New Jersey since it needs to be turned in for a repair and they don't offer such "flat rates" for DAT decks here in Germany. Anyway, what I want to know is if anyone has any suggestions where to send the unit. I know that not all of their customer centers still accept the D3 under their flate rate and not all of them are equally reliable and offer the same quality in repairs. Any pros and contras?? Thanks, Karsten

Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 11:50:43 +0100 (MET) Dear folks, probably this is a FAQ, however I didn't find what I wanted to know in the archive. My questions: *Is there a way to make the Philips audio CD-recorders 880 and 560 write on cheap computer CD-R media (like the 870 did)? If yes, how? *Does the 560 do resampling on 44.1k SPDIF stuff (the 880 is expected not to do so)? Thank you for any answer (if possible, also forwarded to my mail address) in advance!

The deck was stopping in the middle of recording and playback! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone might know what is causing that??? Also, I have a question about the Sony R-500... When using 90mtr tapes, It seems that the deck is ALOT slower than the R-300 when fast forwarding (unpacking) a new tape. When it rewinds though, it is somewhat quicker. Does anyone have any expirences like this??? Get back to me with opinions, John ====================== John Schmidt jschmidt@mail.hotchkiss.pvt.k12.ct.us E-mail me for my Digital Tape List!

From: Karsten Kuepfer <Karsten.Kuepfer@uni-konstanz.de> Subject: Anyone willing to tape an upcoming show at Viper Room?? Reply-To: Karsten.Kuepfer@uni-konstanz.de Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 15:12:27 +0100 Hi all, a friend of mine from Sacramanto is desperatley trying to find someone recording a show for him. He is no taper himself. The infos:The Gigolo Aunts hold a cd release party at the viper room in Hollywood february 6th.The group is on Adam Duritz's (Counting Crows singer)record label and Adam also sings harmony on some songs and he is rumored to be there for this show! My friend is willing to pay for the ticket.Tickets are only sold at the door.The show time is 9pm but to get in you MUST be there earlier because the occupancy is very limited, and no they do NOT allow taping so you'd have to do it stealth. Any help would me much appreciated. Greetings from Konstanz, Germany Karsten

From: "Zawodny, Art" <ZawodAr@BAM.com> Subject: bootlegs Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 10:34:33 -0500 Mr Moose brings up a great point "I believe that complaining to ebay about bootleg sales is acceptable if one feels the moral need to do so, but please be sure it's a bootleg before you do." This is a great way to get at people you don't like. Simple report them as a bootlegger, it doesnt matter if its true or not, just the legal hassle of trying to defend yourself will be like being accused of a sex crime, guilty until proven innocent. >From a legal standpoint, what is the difference between selling a bootleg CD for profit and selling a non-bootleg used CD for a profit. In both cases, you don't own the copyrighted works contained within, you don't have a license to sell it and you are essentially making money off of someone elses copyrighted work. I know this was the argument that several record companies tried to use unsuccessfully to prevent the sale of used CDs. Just curious. Art Zawodny

From: Music Man <sven@getexp.com> Subject: Thanks to all (RE: Lost AT822 cable) Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 11:12:41 -0800 (PST) What a great forum this is! I just got back from a road trip with the band and want to thank everybody who responded to my plight with help/suggestions/info. My new replacement cable arrived yesterday from Full Compass. Unfortunately I didn't order in time to get it before the roadtrip so I missed out recording on a couple shows. For anyone interested it took roughly 8-10 business days and $19.00 (including shipping) for the short XLR to 1/8" miniplug adapter to get here. One question for the wiring experts: Why is it that the supplied XLR to dual 1/8" miniplug (one for each channel) can't be used with one of those 1/8" male to dual 1/8" female headphone adapters? I've tried two different headphone adapters with the same result (only the left channel of my Sony TCD-100 gets any input from the mic). No matter which of the AT cables I use, it is the same result, even if you use only one cable/either headphone adapter . My guess is that the AT dual channel cables are wired differently since I'm reversing the direction that the headphone adapter was intended for! ;D -- ========================================= Stay Free... | Visit Omar Torrez Band's website at: | Steve Whitson | http://www.omartorrez.com | ==========afrocubanflamencofunk========== One of Seattle Weekly's "Best Local Band(s)" for the 2nd straight year!
From: pkmin@rsc.rockwell.com Subject: Re: Can i use 90m dats in a Sony D100 even if there is a Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 10:51:45 -0800 "As an anecdote, I've found that when rewinding and then pressing play on my M1, I get diginoise for a fraction of a second..." In starting from a stopped mode, you're dealing with the "static coefficient of friction" to start the tape spinning(and other related mechanics). Altenatively to keep a tape in motion that is already in motion(and other related mechanics), you're dealing with the "dynamic coefficient of friction". The static coefficient is almost always higher than the dynamic. This might explain the fraction of a second diginoise that David observes with 90meter tapes here.....Pete

Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 11:03:11 -0700 Hey All, I am looking for a tape of the Grateful Dead show from 10/24/70 as it was on my Birthday. The other weird thing is that I was born in Carbondale, Illinois which is only an hour from St. Louis.... Does anyone have this on DAT? I would even go for analog on this. I have some sweet digital boards from the late 80's early 90's with Dark Stars on them. By the way if you have not gotten it yet...all tapers should pick up The Deadheads Taping Compendium Volume One....even if you do not like the Dead it provides some very interesting perspective on the birth of concert taping and what equipment was used and how they got it in and so on..........
