Hey Hey!
If you're careful not to do A/B listening test, you'll get great results
from the radio shack stuff. I used to run a pair of the 33-1033's (I
think) tiny Lavalier mics, which came in the red and white box. These
were replaced in the mid-1990's by a model in a blue and white box, i
forget the number but the new ones were black instead of silver.
If you do compare the radio shack lavalier mic with a mic designed for
something other than speech recording then you will probably notice the
treble boost, around 10KHz, which increases vocal intelligibility. Most
vocal mics have some sort of treble boost, advertised as a "presence
rise" and it's what makes them less suitable for recording full-range
sound like most tapers would want/need.
I had loads of fun getting very nice results with R/S gear, also I liked
the PZM mikes, and I still run into tapers who remember me with the flat
square mics!!! I never owned a pair, but knew about 5-6 people who
would let me borrow theirs when I lived in St Louis. (I have cassette
masters of Phish and Grateful Dead made with Radio Shack PZM and one FOB
of the dead made with the little lavaliers- 5-27-1993 cal expo, but I
can't copy cassettes at the moment, both Nak's are out of service. If
you want to hear the dead thru the Shack, it can be arranged, but there
are better tapes out there of those events.)
Cheap is good, you never know when you'll be glad you have some extra
mic in your bag for an interview or some rare opportunity to leave a mic
in a risky place. . .
good luck!!!

Is anyone else going to tape Man or Astroman? or Cutthroats 9 on the tours
coming up? I'm taping the Chicago gigs. Both bands are taper friendly. If
you go to MOA? just ask for Coco, if you go to Cutthroats 9 ask for Chris
Spencer, he'll be in a NY Yankees hat, and probably camo shorts, generally
friendly. Neither band likes their sound on soundboard tapes...

I have 2 Fostex D5 DAT decks that have literally
been idle for the past year.
They were sent early last year (2000) to Oade's
for the usual 6 month interval servicing, then while
they were away, my CDR Burning habit was formed,
and...and they never were hooked up again...
Thus, they sit, unused, and likely NOT to be used again...
(I have a couple other decks, so I am not going completely
datless...:-)
The Fostex D5 is a Professional Level Deck, with
Toslink & XLR Input/output (both levels for analog I/O).
I have numerous digital cables which I will include in
the purchases...along with Remotes...
They were used for several years...but always (ALWAYS)
sent to Oades for professional cleaning & servicing (every
6-8 months - no matter what)...they are in very good condition!
New, this deck is now being sold somewhere close to
$700...make me a *reasonable* offer - for one or both...
(including shipping) and I will likely accept it...really, these
NEED TO GO!!!!
I'll even throw in some (10-15) DATS - I have
over 1000 DATS to choose from (I'll even let
you choose)...:-)

Hail Heads:
Looking for recommendations on a digital i/o sound card
that doesn't resample! My PC processor is an Intel
Celeron 500 meg running windows 98 opsys. I've been
using a Midiman dio2448 as an affordable entry level
card but I've had to replace it once and now my
replacement may have problems!! Although Midimans
service is good(they replaced it free of charge),
I've lost confidence in the card. Aye carrumba!
Affordable and no resampling are the operative words
here. My main objective is transferring my live MD
recordings digitally to hard drive without the card
resampling. I can live without a lot of frills, bells
and whistles.

Subject: digital signal questions
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 16:09:37 -0400
My recording gear is;
mics->battery box->ZEFIRO INBOX->Sony D8.
Has worked great for some time now.
I just bought a used Tascam DA-30 MkII as a home deck. If I connect my
digital out from the D8 to the DA-30 digital in it records correctly and I
can make copies. But if I try to hook up my recording setup listed above to
record to the DA-30 directly so that the Zefiro goes to the DA-30 to record
instead of the D8, I get squealing, loud humming and basically a lot of
horrible loud noise and cant record. Why does this digital feed from the
Zefiro into my D8 work, but not going from the Zefiro into the DA-30 digital
in? It's a 44.1 signal.
I also use a midiman DiO 2448 digital sound card. I know that I have had
situations in the past where a signal from a different piece of equipment
makes those horrible distorted sounds on the DiO2448. But it has an ANALYZE
button. When I run the analyze, it does some sort of synchronization and
suddenly the signal can be heard, the recording functions correctly and the
distorted sound is gone.
I have two questions which are probably related. What is this analyze all
about, what is it doing, is there something similar on the DA-30? Could I
have some similar issue when I switch between the D8 going into the DA-30
and switch to using the Zephiro Inbox to the digital in on the DA-30?
Thanks for the help!!

I have a matched pair of the Earthworks SR-77 microphones in tubes that I am trying to get rid of. They have only been used 5 times to record the Dave Matthews Band, and a local band in Phoenix called "Oddbox." The microphones are in perfect shape; I make sure to take good care of my gear so that it lasts a long time and works well each time I use it. I am asking $700 for the microphones in protective tubes that come with windscreens and static mounts.
Thank you. My email is:

Hello all,
I am selling (basically) my entire DAT/taping rig. I haven't
taped much in the last year or so (mostly from work) and I don't really
expect to tape much in the near-not-so-near future (for stuff other than
work, mostly unfortunately). Therefore, it makes more sense to sell some
of it...if my prices seem off, just let me know. I have not kept up to
date on the street prices of these units.
-Lunatec V2 - $900
unit #39, perfect working condition. cosmetically, it is missing the screw
on the front faceplate in the upper-right corner, and it is a bit
duller-looking than others. I do not abuse my equipment, but I don't carry
them around in hermetically-sealed cases, either. **see the eco-charge
stuff below**
-Sony PCM-M1 - $500
Has about 40-50 hours on the heads, entirely at shows. I have never done
anything with this deck except record at shows. Has some tape residue on
the front and the spring below the "play" button has gotten smooshed -
there just isn't as much travel when you press the button anymore. but it
works beautifully and always has. **see the eco-charge stuff below**
-Sony PCM-R300 (with warranty) - $400
Has 660 hours on the machine, about 80% playback, and only about 200 hours
since the heads were replaced about 1.5 years ago. There are another 2
years on the RepairMaster warranty - I don't have the original paperwork,
but I have the warranty number.
-Oktava MK012 microphones (1 pair) - $400
Includes omni, hyper, and cardioid for each mic, along with a -10db pad
(screwed in-line between the body and the cap). Also a plastic carrying
case for each mic and set of caps. Mint condition.
-Samson Mixpad 4 - $150
4 channel (2 mic mono/line mono, 1 line stereo) mixer. Has aux send and
return. Runs on AC or battery (9-volt) power, has worked very well, very
clean.
-Eco-Charge battery packs (2) - $100 for both
I have a dual-socket (2 female 4-pin connectors) Eco-Charge and a single
output (female 4-pin on a cable) "home-made" battery. Both are 6-volt. I
also have 1 power cord for the Sony M1 (or any sony portable, for that
matter) and another for the V2. I can power both the m1 and the V2 off the
dual-socket one for 4.5 hours.
thanks,
allan

Hey all -
I'm looking for some Pearl Jam recordings - mainly soundboard/highest quality
stuff. I don't have that much PJ (or what I got was not very good quality -

So do I. In particular a recording of their 9/14/01 Columbus show. I found

This is the last time I'll do this.
My chica wants to go see Tori here in Denver on 11/5, and I have 2 extra's to
