John Fishman came to Japan last December and jammed with a Japanese
local band called Big Frog. Fortunately, one of the people there
recorded the show on DAT. Is anybody interested? I have to say
beforehand that The sound quaity is below Phish-tapers' standard.
This tape is for very hardcore Phish-heads only. I do not think the
board tape is available.

Hi,
I just got back from taping this show and it came out pretty nice
considering the acoustics of the Palladium. I was about 10 feet from
the stage in the center. Let me know if you are interested in this
show.
Thanks,
Ed

And I'm assuming that the person with the Opcode problem has ALSO ruled out
a sketchy coax cable connection as being a problem. Although some people
around here seem to disagree with cables being a possible culprit in
tracking down flakiness, I tend to believe the more prudent advice is to
use (at least) a good quality VIDEO interconnect cable...having the correct
impedance and good connectors does seem to make a difference in reliably
transferring a DAT bitsteam...
It was a sketchy coaxial cable problem. It now works great. As far as the
D7 S/PDIF being not perfect, as far as I know it has worked pefectly. Also,
I am using the Oades Active Cable and it was the non 7 pin part that was the
problem. I replaced it with a video RCA cable and it has been fine.

I think you (and almost everyone else who's posted) missed my point. Even
if selling and trading are the same on a legal level (which they weren't
only a couple of years ago), on a moral level they're very different. I
know that I don't want to trade with anyone who can't see the difference.
The "issue" of tapes that the bands don't allow not getting as much
attention is a red herring--selling bootlegs for money is just plain wrong,
and it discourages bands that might otherwise allow taping.
P.S. Thanks to the anonymous timid ass who subscribed me to a
fundamentalist Christian mailing list.
Peace,

Subject: Fast rewind problem on Sony DTC-690
Date: 16 Feb 1999 10:45:20 +0100
I have an old Sony DTC-690 which has developed a problem in rewinding
tapes. As the tape nears the beginning, the speed of rewind slows
down as it should, but sometimes, particularly in longer rewinds and
with a "warm" deck, this slow down reaches zero - no movement at all -
when the tape reaches about the 2 minute mark. It whirrs a little
(sensation of it spinning it wheels), and then gives up. I can then
wait a second, and restart rewind, which may then succeed or the
problem may reappear (repeat step one).
I've previously had this problem with an overly active safety feature
on an older analog tape deck. It was due to a rubber wheel which had
become smooth due to years of use (the coefficient of friction
decreasing yielding a "safer" mechanism). I simply scratched it a bit
and everything was as it should be.
Unfortunately after disassembling my DTC-690's drive mechanism as much
as I felt sure of, I could find no such rubber wheel nor nothing
similar to "scratch".
Is this the "tension mod" problem which Sony decks have had?
Has anyone had this problem? Any solution short of paying more than
the old deck is worth to have it fixed professionally?

2) Any recommendations on compact headphones which would block out the
ambient noise on an airplane? Does such an animal exist? Cost?
<snip>
Jerry,
Sennheiser makes a high-end pair of noise canceling headphones (model HDC
451-1) that run about $230 through Audio Advisor (www.audioadvisor.com - be
patient, their webpages load slowly).
Other manufacturers and links can be found at:
http://headwize.com/search/hmfrs.php3#iso
there's probably some cheaper ones out there.

Does the remote for the D-100 have a backlight that comes on in synch with
the backlight in the deck?

Yes, that's true, but I wouldn't worry about ISA totally going away for
a while yet. I bought a ZA2, and if ISA goes away, I'll probably not
buy a new motherboard without it for a long time. If ISA does
completely disappear from new MBs, maybe Zefiro would finally spin a PCI
version :)

What exactly is this unit for? What are the benifits, reasons for, and
use of a Super Bit Mapper? Does it improve the sound clarity, reduce
noise, reduce possible digital problems? Just curious, i have seen
these around a little bit and didn't ever know what they were all about.
thanks

Date: Tue, 16 Feb 1999 15:15:50 +0000
Hey all,
I've been lurking on this list for a while, learning a bit about stuff,
you know, the usual... and this seems like as good a place as any to put
in a request for the following shows on CD-R if anyone has them. I'm
just getting started in the world of digital trading, and having looked
around www.tapetrading.com it seems there aren't a lot of folks out
there who can help with these, but if anyone can then please get back to
me.
I've got a copy of 10/5/97 @ Mud Island, Memphis, TN which is a 3rd gen
digital clone (3 CDs), if anyone's interested in trading for it, but
other than that I don't really have a lot to offer folks other than
blanks. Anyway, the shows I'm after are the following:
8/7/97 - Red Rocks, Denver, CO
10/3/97 - Woodlands Pavilion, Woodlands, TX
3/7/98 - Beacon Theatre, NY
3/14/98 - Beacon Theatre, NY
3/20/98 - Beacon Theatre, NY
6/19/98 - Great Woods Amphitheatre, Mansfield, MA
6/30/98 - PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ
7/4/98 - Blockbuster Pavilion, Charlotte, NC
9/4/98 - Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA
If anyone's got any really sweet sounding cd-r digital clones of any of
those shows (preferably front of board) I'd really appreciate hearing
from you.
Thanks, and back to lurk mode I suppose :-)

Hey! I just got a Bogen 3373 (I think that's the model
number) Stand......its a small stand...and goes about 7
feet high. Anyway, I need to get the adapter so I can
thread my T-Bar onto the stand. If anyone knows where I can
get this adapter please let me know! Thanx, John

Try www.sweetwater.com/tradingpost/. Lots of musicians sell their used gear
there. I got a very gently used Tascam DA-30 MkII for $600.
