The shape of the windscreens matches those on the www.nakmics.com website as best I can see--but then again, the color is different. Another DAThead was immediately sure they are Sony ECM 23F capsules, but I have not found any photos online or further information on that call. Anybody got a lead on bodies for these mic capsules that I might put them to use? Why would these not have any markings whatsoever? Nothing at all. They are in new condition and kinda want to be hoisted up at a live show, as best I can tell! Thanks for your help, DAThead fellow-mic geeks. Jonathan ------------------------------ From: "level43@juno.com" Subject: Question: cleaning tapes Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 14:20:51 GMT I have read the past debates about audio vs. DDS tapes. I haven't seen anything mentioned about the use of DDS cleaning tapes in audio decks. Any thoughts on that? Any source for inexpensive cleaning tapes of either type? Also, does anyone have experience cleaning heads by hand (swabs or other method)? Many thanks!

I am interested in Hoobistank, Disturbed, Sevendust, and Staind sets in particular. Have many masters for trade. The rain prevented me from bringing in my gear. Brian ------------------------------ From: "zach" Subject: FS: Sony TCD-D8 and associated stuff. Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 09:14:34 -0600 I'm selling my Sony D8 as I don't use it anymore. The unit was purchased from Sony Outlet in Castle Rock, CO Sept. 2002. Used as a backup for my DA-P1 at about ~8 shows. I haven't taped much in the last 2 years, so it sat in a case in the closet. The unit was recently sent to Paul at Prodigital for a complete servicing. He said the heads were in great shape. I'd estimate the hours to be @ 25-30. I never used 90m tapes in it. Included in the sale will be: Oade passive 7-pin cable original Walwart Pleather case 6v Eco-charge battery (no charger or power cord for D8) The unit looks/performs great. I'd like to get $350 for the whole package....I'll even throw in 2 blank 60m Maxell DAT's. We can split shipping cost... pictures available to interested buyers. Peace, Zach ------------------------------ From: KindTaper@aol.com Subject: Joni Mitchell - Philadelphia 1976 Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 15:58:17 EDT I received a copy of this show from someone today, and it sounds great. However, it has flaws. It is a weird track at once, with 1/2 second gaps instead of 2 second ones. It has this weird "windchime" sound which I can't tell if it's mp3 or what. It has a ton of clicks and pops (but I think that's a burn issue, not on the master). My question is: Did anyone on this list either tape this show, or know who did and can point me to them, or does anyone have a clean copy that is right from the master tapes or a low gen version that doesn't have that weird processed sound? I have a good collection of Joni stuff to trade. Please contact me if you can help. Thanks Wes Kindtaper@aol.com ------------------------------ From: Joe Thierry Subject: ISO AKG CK4 figure eight capsule Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2004 18:47:11 -0400 Does anyone have an AKG CK4 figure eight capsule they would like to sell? Thanks, Joe ------------------------------ From: KindTaper@aol.com Subject: Sparta? Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 22:26:31 EDT Anyone here taped Sparta recently? I would love to find the show from NYC at CBGB's in April, but any recent show would be nice.
