From: -bob <nattyfret@yahoo.com> Subject: Transfers Via Computer Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 08:16:44 -0800 (PST) In short, even a "mediocre" card , such as a Soundblaster Live!, will make a virtually noise-free recording. Case in point: I have an Analog cassette master, soundboard to Nak 505 which was post-processed with a Rosetta and similar high end equipment to a CD. Let's just say the performance was stellar, but " a river runs through it." It has audible hiss. As a comparison, I dubbed the VHS Hi-Fi track of Dylan's Unplugged (for personal use, because my CD of same doesn't include all of the cuts, most likely for marketing reasons, my VHS has all of the tunes, I bought 'em and I want to listen to them in the car.) Anyhow, the dub was VHS Hi-Fi analog out >> analog in on SB Live! >> .wav(tracked with CDWave) >> CDRWin Voila! No audible hiss. Very acceptable dynamic range. Better than a lot of commercial CDs sold today. Period. The SB Live! is not the best analog card and it supposedly resamples digital input, though Creative Labs will not confirm nor deny this. I don't have the chip info and can't prove it one way or another. The bottom line. You will get perfectly fine transfers first gen analog with even a low-end audio card, such as an M-Audio, Ego Sys, or Echo. (like $150-$250) If you have "golden ears" the A/Ds on these may have you running to Apogee or dBX for a pro outboard. Most will opt to do a digital transfer. A digital transfer usually will not pick up any noises, if cables are well made and well shielded. If you are getting digi-noises or bad sound than most likely something isn't configured correctly. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!

From: "Cruz, Charles" <CruzCJ@cdm.com> Subject: Winter NAMM Pass Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 13:57:35 -0500 If anyone has connections to get a pass to the Winter NAMM show in California in January let me know. I will make it worth your while. Main reason I want to go is Eric Johnson is playing one of the private shows and it may be possible to get tickets for the show. EJ is doing a short tour around the NAMM show and I am going to the socal shows to tape. Otherwise, have alot to trade. Thanks, Charlie
From: "ev" <ericv@nyc.rr.com> Subject: ForSale: HHb PDR-1000 PortaDAT Reply-To: "ev" <ericv@nyc.rr.com> Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 15:19:32 -0500 I am the original owner, having purchased it new from Klay five years ago. I am selling it because I don't use it anymore and it has known very little use over the past year. I am building a laptop recording system and retain an M1 for stealth and other portable DAT needs. My PortaDAT has been meticulously cared for and is recently back from service at NXT Generation (authorized HHb service center) as my 5-year warranty was running out (it only received a professional cleaning [at my expense] and was certified with a clean bill of health. It was used exclusively for taping at shows as I have ample home decks for cloning and transfers to hard disk. On the few occasions that cleaning was necessary it was performed with professional tape cleaning fluid and only foam swabs (no chamois or cotton swabs and no dry cleaning tapes). The deck is also in excellent cosmetic condition and comes with the original box and manual as well as the following accessories: HHb RB-100 A/C power adapter & dual-well charger (2) HHb MHB-220 DC6v 2400mAh barely used Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries Protective carrying case with top pocket and shoulder strap (some wear) Installed plate for protecting the RCA plugs (S/PDIF in&outs + analog outs) Pre-wired coil (~3') 12v power cable with right angle 4-pin XLR Extra 4-pin XLR that you could use for your own 2nd battery power cable If you are local I can throw in at least one older 12v Powersonic cell that is years old but will still power it for hours & hours. It is too heavy to be worth shipping and note you still need a 12v lead acid charger This is the finest and most reliable DAT deck that you will see at shows. It has wonderful features including switchable AES/EBU(XLR) and S/PDIF(RCA=coax) input & outputs, built in 48v phantom power for mics with optional 30db limiter, high quality ADC and DAC, 4 heads for confidence monitoring during recording or cloning, lockable analog input levels, and a selectable headphone jack or built-in speaker for modest monitoring on playback or during recording. For greater details you can look here: http://www.hhb.co.uk/FMPro?-db=hhbbrochures.fp5&-format=1brochpdf.htm&-sortf ield=Title&Publication=Manual&Section=USA&-max=2147483647&-recid=11&-find= I purchased this deck to replace a Tascam DA-P1 and always had a much higher degree of confidence with this deck. It has always been highly reliable and I would recommend it over a new Tascam DA-P1 (or a used one if you the extra $500 to spend). The deck sells new (list was something like $3200 and I think I paid $2700) for about twice the price of a DA-P1, however I am offering it for only about 60% more than where a used Tascam trades. I would like to get $1600 for the deck and accessories. If I need to ship the unit to you, I will use a 1 or 2 day carrier (e.g. FedEx) upon receipt of payment and split the shipping cost with you. Please email with any questions or reasonable offers. If I don't sell it here within about a week, I will probably list it on ebay and annouce it here one more time. I can take and email digital photos upon request.

From: acffh <morst@itis.com> Subject: any idea if the plextor 16x burner would work in a mac? Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 15:15:37 -0600 thanks for the fine tip! I wonder if you have any knowledge if the plex would work in an Mac which has an IDE internal CD drive (I have a beige g3 desktop)? for $100 I could presumable replace my internal drive with a 16x burner!? I'd love to know, but I don't expect you'd know. . . so do any of the DAT-HEADS know the answer to this?? thanks y'all, and I can still upload that Tenacious D SHN'd DSBD to anyone's server who sends me the ip/username/pw/(path) (that's the 10-7-2001 st louis show) -- For the person looking for a good internal CD-RW, check here for a Plextor 16X at $129.95, minus a $30 rebate, with free shipping. I don't have any connection to buy.com; just a good product at a good price. Note that this is a retail box product; OEM version does NOT qualify for rebate. http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10272854
