They're playing at the Riv. Apparently they are taper friendly - talk to the sound man if you have any issues at the door. Sorry for such late notice. Please contact me and we can work something out...

It sounds really nice has a no negative feedback that was copied in many new high $$ tube pre's and can be picked up used for around $180. I am currently with out a nice A/D while waiting for the V3 to arrive but made a test shn of the setup. The shn is the first two tracks off my quad pressing of Darkside of the Moon. Source Info: AR ES-1(belt drive)->Shure V Type III->Dynaco PAS-2 (Magnetic In/Tape Out)->Philips CDR-800 This shn is avail. for d/l at my fileserver http://makeashorterlink.com/?T412321B1 Peace and hope you enjoy!

Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 15:33:02 -0400 So I just picked up one of these and absolutely love it. Problem is I'm not sure on how often I need to clean the heads. In the manual it said to go by the instructions on the cleaning cassette. Well those instructions say the same thing. Pretty funny I thought, got a laugh out of that one. I use a maxell HS-4/CL to do the heads on my sony D3 about every 10 -12 hours. As suggested by someone with good knowledge. Should I apply the same rule to the DA-20? Thanks!

He used the back half of an electric fan with the motor and fan blade removed. This left just a parabolic chrome metal lattice. Rig a setup whereby the mics are sitting inside the lattice with windscreens on. This may necessitate bending the lattice in the back so that the mics can fit thru it, and bending the lattice on the bottom so that the mic stand can pass thru as well. Make sure that the front of the mics are behind the most forward part of the lattice. Then run panty hose over the front of the lattice and as much of the sides as possible. The hardest part was getting the mics and the metal lattice to be attached and stable on the mic stand. The panty hose purportedly had no noticeable effect on the audio but did act as a suitable wind diffuser. Warning: be prepared while using this odd looking thing for the know-it-alls out there to come up and ask which brand of panty hose works best.... ------------------------------ From: "john crouch" Subject: NYE/HAMPTON! Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 12:47:24 -0700 OK...I've been saving my change for these shows for over a year now, confident that they were coming soon, I bought a plane ticket already determined that I would be taping these shows and got no love on the lottery, that's the way it goes when probably more than 100,000 people are trying to get tickets. Well I will be running SCHOEPScmc6/mk41v>Lunatec V2>Apogee MiniMe>24/48 or 16/48 for patches, I will hook up a patch, or CDS DAY AFTER EACH SHOW for someone who could help me get into these shows...I'm sorry to do this, but like I said I've had my mind set on this for years...JOHN BWT: Any PHISH Shows off my list BNP...www.phishhook.com/lists/slouchiec _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ From: Livestuff@aol.com Subject: M. Asch & B. Siegl Taping Policy Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 15:48:27 -0400 From: stuart Subject: Mitch Asch & Bob Seigl Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 14:38:44 -0400 I heard that Mitch Asch & Bob Seigl are touring the east coast, does anyone know their taping policy? Peace, stuart I'D TRY TO BE AS COOL AS POSSIBLE. A FRIEND OF MINE SAW THESE 2 DO A SPECIAL LIMITED ACOUSTIC TOUR IN THE UK, AND THERE WAS AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURED THAT IS NOT TO BE BELIEVED. AS MY FRIEND TELLS THE STORY, BOB (WHO IS ACTUALLY A MIDGET), IS COOL WITH TAPING, BUT MITCHELL IS VERY MUCH AGAINST IT. AT THIS PARTICULAR SHOW IN A PUB ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY FROM WEMBLEY STADIUM, THEY WERE PERFORMING FOR AN INTIMATE CROWD OF 125. MITCHELL SEES THIS GUY SITTING TO THE LEFT OF THE STAGE AREA, WEARING A BASEBALL CAP WITH MICS IN THEM. MITCHELL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG (WHICH I THINK WAS THEIR CURRENT HIT SINGLE), STANDS UP & STARTS TO CUSS OUT THIS GUY MAKING A TAPE....RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SOLD OUT HOUSE. BOB (WHO IS QUITE HOT TEMPERED HIMSELF), TELLS MITCHELL TO SIT THE HELL DOWN, AND THAT THE GUY TAPING IS NOT HURTING ANYBODY. MITCHELL TURNS TO BOB, PUTS IS GUITAR DOWN, KNEES HIM IN THE FOREHEAD, REMOVES HIS HARP BRACE, A BEGINS TO CHOAK BOB WITH IT FROM BEHIND HIM. WELL AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, THE AUDIENCE THINKS THIS IS PART OF THE ACT, BUT IT IS NOT. BOB PASSES OUT....THE GUY WHO WAS TAPING.....QUICKLY SPLITS.....AND MITCHELL PICKS UP HIS GUITAR, FINISHES THE SONG, AND WALKS OFF STAGE! SO, BE REAL COOL IF YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO TAPE! GOOD LUCK! ------------------------------ From: "Matt Korman" Subject: ISO too 8-3-02 Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 15:29:46 -0000 Looking for all of Sunday's Terrapin Station. and Saturday's second stage. DAT only. thanks Matt ------------------------------ From: TheSchoolNerd@aol.com Subject: Those TDK CD-rs Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 17:22:59 EDT Yeah; looks like there are plenty of TDKs out there made by Ritek. I think that the "made in Taiwan" is a good way to tell that theyre not the good stuff right? I have noticed that the TOP of these silver CD-Rs peel off with ease. I happened to rup the back of my fingernail on one of them (not the side with the info but the top you would write on) and the silver peeled off like old paint!!! Does anyone have a way to tell the good TDK blanks from the bad ones? What about that "Certified Plus" thing? Like Hey Scoob!! ZOIKS!!! Lets get out of here!! YEaaaaH! Yeaaaaah!! D ------------------------------ From: Phil Harris Subject: FS: Sonosax & Battery Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 16:38:03 -0500 I have a SONOSAX SX-M2 for sale. Included with pre-amp is a Custom 12v Lead Acid Battery & Charger. All perfect working order and excellent condition. Comes with all original gear, hard case, padding, and owners manual. Battery is 3 months old. Custom Battery weighs just over one pound and will power unit for well over 12 hours. Many people run Sonosax simply on two 9v batteries, but that can get expensive if you plan on taping frequently. The lead acid cell and charger elimates the need for any further battery purchases. A custom 12v + charger from Eco-charge will run you about $300. The chargers and cells are identical to what Eco-Charge or Oade would sell you at 3 times the price. A brand new Sonosax will run you about $1000. I'm selling Sonosax, Battery, and Charger for $800 firm. . Pictures can be found at http://nashphil.com/phil/sonosax.htm Thanks for the space, Phil ------------------------------ From: "Jeremy Moskowitz" Subject: For free: KDT-99R service manual photocopy Reply-To: Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 18:06:07 -0400 This appears to be the full service manual for the KDT-99R Kenwood Car DAT deck. It's yours for the asking, though I remember the ROYAL PAIN THE BUTT it was to acquire... If you want it.. it's yours, just pay 3 day fedex letter shipping (less then $10 I think) and it MUST be via PayPal. Again, free, but if you wanted to kick in a few extra bucks into the PayPal account, that would be okay too. :-) Just ask, and it's yours.
