From: randy@monkeybiz.Stanford.EDU Subject: powering the AD2K Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 12:12:19 -0800 (PST) rob d commented: > I loved my AD2k+ but its 12volt (car) battery was a bit too much > for me to lug around. ? car battery ? surely you're exagerating. In any case, it's quite possible to run the AD2K off of a smaller 12V battery than the 7.0 AH monster sold by eco charge. I run mine off of a 5.0 AH battery that weighs exactly 4 lbs with the 4-pin connector; this battery (PowerSonic PS-1250 F1) is about the size of two stacked PCM-M1 dat decks, and ought to run the AD2K for 5.0 AH/0.8 A = 6.25 hrs. At the time that I bought the above, I also picked up a smaller battery (i thought it was a 3.4 AH model, but their website doesn't show any such beast...maybe it was a 3.0 or 2.9....), since i figured that I could get about 3 hrs use out of such a battery without depleting it too severely. (And with that size cell, you're down to around 2 lbs...) As long as you're handy enough to solder your own connections, it's lots cheaper to build your own system (and that much more customizable) than it is to go with ecocharge. Of course, the flip side is that when things crap out (like, you short your battery and melt your power cable), you only have yourself to blame.... -rand0m
From: Mark Mayhle <mark@mayhle.com> Subject: Changing sample rate-- thanks Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 14:37:30 -0600 (CST) Thank you to all the folks who provided ways of changing a 48KHz file to a 44.1KHz file without resampling. Turns out there are many ways to skin this cat! The simplest, since I already was using Cool Edit 2000, turned out to be using Edit/Adjust Sample Rate for about a 2-click operation. I had been futzing around in the Transform/Time-Pitch area without success. -- Mark Mayhle mark@mayhle.com

From: james hobbs <jahnalh@yahoo.com> Subject: FS: SV-255 Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 13:21:49 -0800 (PST) Hey now; I had my 255 put back to A1 condition by ProDigital (who stands behind their work!!!) for a friend who ran into financial troubles. Can't wait for him to recover so here it is. Pannasonic SV-255 w/ Oade mod. Head just replaces and clean bill of health by Paul. The external power cable is set up to allow external battery power. This deck should last a long time. Let's talk, no low ballers. peace JAH __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

From: Jeff Wright <jwright1014@yahoo.com> Subject: M-Audio DiO 2448 reviews? Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 13:42:33 -0800 (PST) Is this a popular digital soundcard to use? I'm looking for an inexpensive, but reasonably high quality way to do DAT > CD-R transfers. I need S/PDIF coaxial input and output. Any personal advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

From: TriscitMan@aol.com Subject: Skipping Problems Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 16:52:57 EST Sorry for two posts in one day, but I had one other question that I hadn't seen asked lately. Currently, I run AT853 > Sound Pros Bat Box > Zefiro Inbox > D8. When I am recording, I sometimes have skips or cut outs in my tapes when i move the inbox or the dat. I am wondering if my digital cable is messed up or the 7 pin connector is broken. It's not the batteries or the skipping of the tape from shaking the dat. It seems to come from when I move the inbox. Any ideas guys? Thanks! -Greg
From: "jim waiter" <mu_mu_3@hotmail.com> Subject: Pre-Amp Questions Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 16:27:15 -0600 I have a Tascam DA-P1 and enjoy making amateur field recordings (nature, factories, etc..), but, I have always thought the recordings sounded fairly poor. I am using an inexpensive Audio Technica mic and recently read on rec.audio.pro about pre-amps. Do I need a pre-amp for my setup? If I do, what preamps would you recommend for a hobbiest? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

From: Jmratman@aol.com Subject: SBM1 w/DAP1 Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 18:31:51 EST I use the SBM1 with my DAP1. I had to buy the $100 7 pin Sony cable>>RCA connector from Sonic Sense for the connection. The Oade Bro's do a RCA coax modification to the SBM1 so you can use a regular patch cord. The 24 bit line in mod. @ Oade is supposed to be killer too. I sent my SBM1 for this mod and can't wait to get it back. I supposed to make it sound pretty darn close to an Apogee AD1000. JIm R.

From: clint morrison <panictaper@yahoo.com> Subject: FS: PCM-M1 and Oade I/O cable + bonus!!!! Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 09:26:32 -0800 (PST) I have a mint condition (about 40 hours on the heads) pcm-m1 for sale. It comes with manual, box, wall-wart..etc. Bought new for 700.00...looking to get 550.00. Great deal. Also have a oade active i/o cable for the deck...new condition...that I will sell "only as a package" with the pcm-m1. I will sell the deck and cable for 690.00. you cannot buy these cables anymore...and they retaiuled for 160.00. If you would like to purchase just the deck that would be fine too...I just won't sell the cable seperately until the deck is sold. I am selling because I have two portables and am getting a full-size deck to replace one of them. I will also include a audio magic presto II digital interconnect cable (a 90.00 value) to anyone who purchases the m1 and cable package. This would mean you are getting 950.00 worth of gear in new condition for only 690.00. Email me if interested. Thanks so much... clint __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
From: Kurt Vogel <kwvogel@yahoo.com> Subject: re: Lineage Date: Sat, 8 Dec 2001 09:26:37 -0800 (PST) Of course far more important than the lineage or how that lineage is labeled is how the tape actually sounds. And the factors that largely determine this are rarely if ever conveyed in that little X>X>Z description. Sadly, far too many people seem to overlook or ignore this fact.
