I keep a small, temporary cache of DATs to make first generation analogs. If you want to trade DATs, check out my datlist. Note that I *cannot* clone. WYSIWYG.

WHAT I WANT: I am looking for LOW GENERATION shows. This means tapes between 1st and 3rd generation (sbd>reel>DAT>me = sbd1, sbd>DAT>me = dsbd1). A quality sound is a plus, but not necessary given variables like early 70s shows. I'm trying to get ALL Merriweather Post shows. (It's 5 mins. away from my old house. I'm very sentimental about this venue.) :)

WHAT YOU WANT: I'll spin anything A or A- for those as picky as I am. I might spin B+ shows too, ask me iff you MUST have them. Otherwise, just email somebody else. The Grateful Dead, i.m.h.o., plays too good music to have in less than excellent condition. So be patient and look around. That's my philosophy on trading, I suppose.

WHAT I HAVE: I tape from a single well Sony (KA1ESA) to a single well Denon (DRM740); both have 3 heads. Which should put me well above mid pack. My copies will be *very accurate* reproductions of the original tape.

WHAT YOU HAVE: You don't have a mini-system. Dual well decks are OK if the tape is particularly low gen and of excellent quality. I do prefer two decks, however, in order to get proper levels.

IN CASE YOU WANT TO TRADE: Here are my idiosyncrasies. I lean toward XLIIS, but I do XLII as well. I go both ways, really. I strongly prefer two things, though. One, send cases. Two, pop tabs before sending.

ANY QUESTIONS? Please email me. I'm pretty nice. And I spin for blanks more than I get trades, so feel free to at least try me. I won't bite.

So, without further ado.....
