However, if you're not using the mic inputs on a D7/D8, here is something to consider: the SBM-1 is a battery hog, and the chances it will ruin your recording by dying before the end, is greater than the chance you will hear a sonic improvement.

Also interested in contacting anyone that has low generation Nirvana material. Please e mail me. Thanks -Brian ------------------------------ From: "Len Greenberg" Subject: FS: Sony PCM-R300 Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2004 09:21:41 -0400 Hello All, I have a Sony PCM-R300 Dat deck for sale. I purchased the deck new from Klay Anderson Audio in December 1997. In March 2000, at 1000 hours of use, the deck was sent to Paul Plotnick at Pro Digital for a cleaning and transport modification. Currently the deck has 1279 total hours of use. I have all the original packing, etc. but am missing the remote. I'm looking for $175 plus shipping. Thanks for the bw. -Len ------------------------------ From: "Christian Spiess" Subject: The Shins Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2004 15:44:13 +0200 Has anyone taped The Shins lately? I've seen older board tapes and was wondering if they still allow taping especially since they've been getting so much attention lately. Will see them on Friday.

As always though I guess it's venue dependant... If you think you'll be able to tape any of these, drop me a line (nickg@mindspring.com) if at all possible. I'd be more than happy to compensate you with blank tapes, discs, whatever. Nick http://db.etree.org/nickgraham ------------------------------ From: "Paul K." Subject: RE: STG and shn & flac Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2004 15:44:59 -0400 I keep seeing comments on here from tapers/traders who don't want their shows converted to shn or flac (or ape). As I understand it, these are lossless formats, so why would this upset you? Many traders circulate their recordings via "vines" and it's very convenient to circulate them in any of these lossless formats because a) very often a 2-disc set can fit onto 1 disc in compressed format; and b) these data files provide additional error correction not available in your standard audio (wav) format. I can understand a taper not wanting his recordings circulated to "the world" without his permission, but I don't understand the aversion to these formats no matter what the means circulation.
