>>it was my understanding that the DiO2448 did NOT resample input
unnecessarily, but this post seems to say that it does..equating it to the

I know this is way off topic, but I've only had one disc out of a few
hundred from Netflix arrive unplayable. This disc was actually cracked
down the center, but everything has played quite well. We have an
older (2 year old) DVD player, but everything arrives in working order.
Maybe your DVD player is sensitive, but I just wanted to post that since
my experience had been pretty much all positive..

Subject: SONY DG60P & DG90P DDS Head Wear
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 01:15:58 -0500
I have used boxes and boxes of SONY DG60P & 90 tapes with my Tascam
DA-40 and have never had a problem. I also recorded 200 or so MAXELL
HS-4 DDS tapes mostly 90m but I switched to Sony after a debate a couple
of years ago when everyone was calling them BLACK DEATH tapes.
I only had 3 bad tapes from Maxell but they still play fine with zero
errors. As for cleaning my DA-40, I am at 434hrs now and I haven't
cleaned it once. I used to clean my old deck with Methyl Hydrate on the
heads with Foam anti'static swabs very lightly. I don't know if I will
try it again. Probably not since I might mess up the alignment.
Has anyone tried this themselves?
I don't think I am ever going to clean this deck until I get a problem.
My older Tascam deck actually started getting errors after I was trying
the dry cleaning tape.

If anyone managed to tape the Lana Lane show at The Troubadour in Los

2002, I would love to trade for these shows.
Thanks!

Hey now,
My good friend Forrest McDonald and his band are playing tonight in
Atlanta and tomorrow in Jacksonville (4PM) and then in Melbourne. FL at
9PM as they're headlining the Melbourne Art Festival. I was supposed to
go but am stuck in Mass. (my date cancelled on me and we have to fly
together...some airline BS). Anyhow, Forrest would give you access to
the stage, SBD, whatever...just get there early and tell the band "Lens"
sent you...you'll get carte blanche treatment. You can check his music
out at ForrestMcDonald.com
This band really rocks. Here's the itinerary:
April 25th and April 27th
Forrest McDonald with Raymond Victor & The 3D Blues Band will be playing
ONE NIGHT ONLY in Atlanta at Darwin's on Thursday, April 25th. Don't
miss your
chance to see Forrest! Raymond Victor is flying in from California!
The incomparable Andrew Black will be sitting in for the late, great
Dave Parnell. That's not all!!! They'll be backed up by a very solid
rhythm section--Connoisseur of the Lower Register, Jonathan
Schwenke, on bass; and the often-imitated-but-never-duplicated John
McKnight on drums.
Dig your bathing suit and flip flops out of the closet, 'cause it's time
for a BLUES ROAD TRIP to the beach! The aforementioned
blues ambassadors will be spreading their blues message to the good
folks of Florida! Forrest and his band are scheduled to play at
Jacksonville Beach's 56th Annual Festival at 2:00 p.m. on April 27th at
the Sea Walk Pavilion Amphitheatre, pictured below. They're
celebrating the official opening of the Jacksonville area beaches.
There'll be a sandcastle contest, a parade, plenty of food and drink,
THE BEACH and of course, MUSIC--Forrest's style :) For more
information, check out the City of Jacksonville Beach's website at
http://www.jacksonvillebeach.org/Pages/tourism/calendar_of_events2002_1.htm
Jacksonville Beach's Sea Walk Pavilion Amphitheatre
Don't pack up your beach towel and go home just yet! After playing at
Jacksonville Beach, Forrest and his band will be heading on down the
road to Melbourne, Florida, where they
will headline the Melbourne Art Festival in historic downtown
Melbourne. The show starts at 9:30 p.m., and it should be a searing
showcase
of Forrest's white hot guitar. South Florida is absolutely gorgeous at
this time of year. Don't you just want to BE THERE? For more
information on the Melbourne Art Festival, visit
http://www.melbournearts.org
As always, the latest CD release, Finger Lickin' Blues, will be
available at the shows.
Hope someone can tape this show....I'll offer up a stack of blank DATS
to anyone who can send me the show...
Thanks,
Lens

Subject: FT / B&P: Paul McCartney 4-16-02
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 10:33:40 -0400
Thanks to some wonderful generosity and unbelievably quick turnaround
(thanks Chris!) I'm in possession of a copy of the Paul McCartney
show from Philadelphia. It's a stellar recording, recorded from the
seventh row (mk4v>sx-m2>sbm1(w/ 24 bit mod)>d100). 174 minutes.
To forward the generosity and to help pass on this wonderful show,
I'm offering this show up for trade / B&P for the first TEN people to
respond. To make things fair, I'll save three spots for digesters
(just send me a digest header to verify this). Even if you send a
list, be prepared that I just may ask for B&P to keep it simple.
This will be quick, as I'd like to get this all complete and
everything mailed by wed. next week, so if you want in, act fast!

I have received over 125 DVDs from Netflix so far. I haven't
had a problem with a single DVD. They have all played
perfectly, not a single hiccup that I can remember.
I am not saying you have a poor DVD player a broken DVD
player or just really bad luck...I have no idea. But I have owned
1st generation DVD players and cheap ones. Buying a quality
DVD player makes a BIG difference. Cheap, 1st generation
or poorly functioning DVD players have HUGE problems when
the laser goes from one layer to the next. It seems like a skip
or a jump, but is really a sign that the DVD player is beat.
Plus, if the DVD surface visually looks fine, it probably is fine.
My experience with Netflix has been amazing. My average
price paid for a DVD rental is just under $3.50. Not a single
late fee and I don't have to pickup or drop off any movies.
Bye, bye Blockbogus with your overpriced rentals, hideous late
fees and miniscule collection of white bread movies.

Saturday and Sunday this week, an indoor event featuring several bands over about 20
hours in two days. I will be taping some of it, but would love somebody to share
equipment and/or manning the deck(s) for part of it.
Contact me if you have an hour or two and maybe a deck to spare. I'll get you CDs of
the whole event in return. 13$ for both days, 8/7$ for Sat/Sun respectively.
Drop me a line,
Jonathan

Price drop on Panasonic's excellent stand-alone DVD Video
recorder. Works just like a VCR but records on DVD-R and DVD-
RAM discs. DVD-R discs play back on most standard DVD
players. DVD-RAM discs allow random-access editing (like having
your own Avid at home). Record a TV show - cut out the
commercials - and play it back continuously! Copy your camcorder
tapes - define the scenes - and play them back in any order!
You can record 2 hours of near-perfect video (better than SVHS), or
up to 6 hours in VHS quality, on DVD-R discs. Apple sells these
discs for just $5 each and I've also seen "generic" discs that work
well for as little as $3.
This model has all standard VCR features like cable-ready tuner,
8-event timer, VCR+Plus, wireless remote control. 3 sets of
Video/SVideo/stereo audio inputs, and it's also a full-function DVD
player with Dolby Digital and DTS outputs.
This model is $999 in Circuit City right now, but we have them brand
new for just $594! Full Panasonic warrantee and all credit cards
accepted. We ship anywhere at our cost (no markup on shipping).
For more info, email: gdavisloop@earthlink.net
or phone The DAT Store at (818) 344-6718, 11am-5pm, Mon-Fri,
Pacific time (sorry - closed on weekends).
Thank you,

I recorded the 4/25 CSNY show in Chicago with excellent results - so if
anyone has any Chris Cornell, Sheryl Crow, Garbage, or PJ Harvey shows I
don't have, I would love to trade for them - (But I do have an extensive
list of those artists). If not, I will offer a few B&P's for them - But I
can't accept too many because it is a 3 disk show (sorry, I can't supply
DATs) - and I don't have LOTS of time, but I do want to share this show
because it turned out THAT good. Please see my 'Master Recording' page on
my website for setlist/info:

Cheers,

Drop me a line. I just transferred them to CDR and don't need them, but
hey, they're DSBD masters from the Turf Club in St. Paul, MN--a tapir's
