There is a brand new one available on ebay now, and even though I wish I hadn't sold mine, and will be biding on this one, I figured I'd let the group know, aas someon was definitely interested. This USB unit is compaatable with all windws O/S through W2K and most Mac O/S, and comes with ASIO drivers, as well as a hard steel case. IMO it's a great A/D unit with SPIDF optical aand Coax in and out as well as analog I+O. Keith ------------------------------ From: "Daniel J. Ennis" Subject: seeking portable deck and newbie help Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 08:00:33 -0700 (PDT) Hey folks, I'm looking to get myself rigged in something of a hurry. I'm just now getting my brain wet with basic info on DAT equipment. My initial purpose with the setup will be to record various music and sounds of a folk festival that starts in 8 days, so there's my hurry. I want to be portable, and there are some stealth style mics I'm looking at that got good reviews here: http://www.nickspicks.com/mics-tf.htm In the future I will use the deck for "regular" shows and quite possibly consider good stationary mics. So, I'm looking for a used portable deck, preferrably with no SCMS (see I'm learning the basics), in good condition. I am hoping to spend around $350 just for the deck, but this is negotiable depending on what I'm getting. I recognize that I could easily spend a lot more on a new or even used deck. The other thing I'm looking for here is advice. Can I use those mics without a seperate pre-amp device if I am recording conversation, ambient sound and unamped music from close up? I'm also looking for any beginner advice you'd care to give. I would especially appreciate a line from anyone in the NYC, Jersey, Philly area who has a portable deck to sell or ideas on where to get a used one. I would doubly especially dig hearing from anyone who'd be going to the Philadelphia Folk Festival, or the They Might Be Giants show in Central Park tomorrow! Since this is sales and newbie info I am looking for, please e-mail me directly rather than posting to the list. Pez - Daniel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Thanks Satoshi trow_rico@hotmail.com ------------------------------ From: audiocapable@earthlink.net Subject: Audio Capable DAT Drives - $80 shipped Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 11:53:05 -0400 These DDS-2 tape drives can read and write audio DATs. They have been sold as Archive/Conner/Seagate drives with the model names of Python 4326/CTD8000/Peregrine. They come with mounting rails and a faceplate that result in a 5 1/4 inch form factor for mounting in a standard drive bay. They are SCSI drives with the older 50-pin interface. These drives are used but are in working condition. They have the 01931-XXX 5AC firmware, which allows them to read and write audio DATS at more than double speed using the dat2wav or vdat packages. They are excellent for getting audio from a DAT onto your hard drive, with .wav files broken up by start ID, a perfect solution for converting to CD-R. Because they operate at double speed, they are also excellent for cloning. Price of $80 includes insured shipping in the continental U.S. by UPS Ground or equivalent. If you are elsewhere or prefer another mode of shipping, please inquire. Payment by PayPal, postal money order or cashier's check. Email audiocapable@earthlink.net with questions or orders. ------------------------------ From: "Marc Nutter" Subject: Grand Re-Opening Sale August 14-15, 2002 Reply-To: Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 09:43:52 -0600 HI All, Weeeee're Back!!!

Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 12:50:17 -0700 (PDT) Hey Now All! Happy Birthday to me! As a Present my lady wants to find me a rack to mount my equipment in so after this bloody fire dies down and I will be putting my things back together, I can put things in it instead of just spreading them accross my room . Also it will allow me to put fans behind it so as to keep things cool . Summer here is in the 100s and winter it will freeze. So something small enough for a house, that will hold about ten pieces of equipment with room to breath and no door. I have found pro gear, like one would take on the road but is a little bigger than I need ... Any ideas ???? TIA, Peace, Michael As a B/W tax. After I get set up again i will offer Widespread Panic, 1/12/87 in Athens, GA. I am Listening right now to a great Fire on the Mountain > Spoonful from that show! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

So now I've got a newly fixed and in tip-top shape Apogee, ready to go on the auction block so to speak. Since I've been happily using my modSBM1 during the Apogee's state of disrepair, the AD500e is up for sale. Details: Apogee AD500e A/D converter (with brand new clock module), cables, and battery system. The AD500e has had the necessary SCMS-jumper modification done, so it will work with all DAT decks--successfully used with the DA-P1, Sony M1, D8, and D100, and even my ancient Aiwa HDX3000 "brick-style" deck. Comes with 15-pin cable with dual coax outputs and 12v battery connection. Also comes with a 12v 7Amp-hr battery system that will run the AD500e for 5-6 hours. This is a powersonic battery and comes with the powersonic PSC-12800A "smart" fast/float charger. Basically, all set up with everything you need run it in your rig. And since it's already had the clock module replaced--the problem that almost all Apogees need fixed eventually--it should be running smoothly for many moons to come. Asking $625. Drop me a line if you're interested. -Todd ------------------------------ From: "Ryan Haskell" Subject: Looking for MMW patches Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2002 20:44:12 -0400 Hello gang, I'm looking for anyone out there who's planing on taping Medeski, Martin & Wood on 9/27 in Boston and 9/28 in Portland. I thought I'd ask around in advance and try to arrange for a patch at each show. Thanks in advance!
