Anybody out there know of maybe a PDF file of this on
the web somewhere?
Or, maybe some kind soul out there could burn me a
paper copy for a small "shipping and handling" fee?
:-)
Thanks!

There is a small classical VCD constituency, using
the Terapin VCD stand-alone or computer-based
systems. These VCDs get about 73 minutes on a disc,
but quality (mpeg1) is not great either full-screen
computer or through DVD players to TV (most DVD
players that can handle CDR can play VCDs). It does
look very good in a small (Windows Media Player)
window. Sources are TV broadcasts and stealth
videoing (!!).

Has anyone out there used Nakamichi CM-300s with a preamp before? I realize
the Naks do not operate on phantom power, but I'm just wondering if there
are any noticeable differences in sound quality when a preamp is hooked up.
And does anyone have any cleaning tips for the inside of the Nak bodies?
Found some old batteries left inside a pair of Naks that left behind a
little rust/corrosion.
Thanks in advance.

I'm having difficulties transfering my DATs onto CDRs. Here's my rig:
Sony M1>
Am-dig active 7-pin cable>
"Digital in" on a Phillips consumer CD burner
I only get a signal in the CD burner for select DATs. Is this because some
are burned at 44.1 khz, while others are burned at 48 khz? Or is it related
to something else? If it is a problem of khz, is there any way around this
problem?
Any help is gratefully received.
Thanks!
Marc

Hey Gang! I have a mint condition Sony ECM-S220 microphone that came with
the old D3 deck. Would like to trade it for a few recent Ratdog shows.
thanks.

Just wanted to throw a testimonial out to the world:
I was able to make it past a metal detector last night with an m1 and a
set of DPA4061 capsules & battery box. Dunno if I was just lucky, the
detector wasn't cranked up to eleven, or what, but.... it can be done.
So don't be afraid to try it in these uncertain times, if such a thing
floats your boat. What's the worst that can happen -- you get sent back
to your car to unload?
Being this is a politically thorny issue, I'd also like to state for the
record that I certainly respect the right of the venue to perform such
searches -- our safety certainly means worlds more in the scheme of
things than making just another recording from another random venue...
The gig in question last night was Jane's Addiction / Femi Kuti @ the
Verizon Ampitheater in Charlotte NC. The mix under the hood wasn't the
best I'd ever heard, and the resulting recording reflects that... but
it's still pretty good. Official stats: dpa4061 (bass rolloff) > m1,
6' in hat, 13th row in front of left stack. If you'd like it, send a
URL to your list... also if you plan on taping Jane's on this tour,
please drop me a line.
Stay safe!

Regarding dirty heads, since you have already used a cleaning cassette, next
thing to try is wet clean the heads. You can do this yourself or pay a
professional to do it. If you're feeling industrious, Art Munson of
Cassette House has some good info (from DAT-Heads) archived here:
http://www.cassettehouse.com/techinfo/datclean.html
Otherwise you can call up a "known good" technician like Paul Plotnik of Pro
Digital outside Philadelphia (610-353-2400) and see how much he'll charge to
do it. I and many many other DAT-Heads can vouch for his skills and
honesty. Even if you choose to do it yourself it would be worth the toll
call from wherever you are to chat with him for a few minutes, he is quite
knowledgeable. You didn't include the age or hours of use the deck has, but
yes the heads do eventually wear out and when that happens the repair bill
would be in the ballpark of the estimate you received from Sony. Another
thing to consider may be the fact that some low quality DAT tapes have been
known to shed and gum up heads. It seems like most manufacturers have made
a bad batch so to speak at some time or another. But with such a tape you
would get similar behavior with both decks. At the risk of potentially
clogging the heads in your other deck you could see if the tape in question
plays OK in that deck.
Regarding CD-R's yes they are not as reflective as stamped CD's. But the
technology has come a long way in a short period of time and the high
quality Sony discs you're using probably aren't the problem. Some CD
players, particularly older ones (pre- CD-R vintage), and particularly some
low cost and/or older portable players, aren't as good at playing CD-R's as
newer decks. If the discs play fine in other players it may be time for a
new portable deck.
Another consideration may also be the way in which the discs were burned.
Everything else being equal, discs burned in track-at-once (TAO) mode can
sometimes give trouble on playback where discs burned disc-at-once (DAO) may
not. Burning DAO vs. TAO is a function of the software you're using and the
way you're using it. You can consult your documentation for more info if
needed.
Good luck
Mark
