>>>IMPORTANT NOTICE<<< - As of July `04 I will no longer accept trades from those burning to Taiwanese discs. If we are to trade please BE SURE you are burning to Japanese made discs ONLY! The discs I send you will be, I feel it's fair to ask for the same in return. Sorry for the harsh attitude, but I've gotten too many bunk Taiwanese discs & my HK burner don't like them anyway. I appreciate your understanding...

BAD: MP3 or MD sourced recordings; Track At Once (w/ 2 second blank gaps between tracks); diginoise, dropouts, pops or clicks between tracks; writing on the face of the disc (inner hub is OK w/ a CD marker); cramming a bunch of discs into a single sleeve (single sleeve = 1 disc, double = 2. Please, no more = no scratches); the buying or selling of live shows.

GOOD: Information about shows I select (setlist, venue, mic info/genealogy, any flaws inherent to recording, etc...); appropriate communication throughout the trade; the trading of live shows >>ONLY<<.

Equipment:

DAT: (Factory matched) AKG C 451 B's>Audio Magic X-Stream XLR's>Beyerdynamic MV-100>Audio Magic X-Stream RCA's>Sony SBM-1>Sony TCD D8

(Stealth: Sonic Studios DSM-6> [Oade Mic Pre Mod] Sony TCD-D8)

CD>CD = Lite On DVD/RW using Nero 6 software (&/or Harman Kardon CDR2)

DAT>CD = Tascam DA20>HHb CDR830 (pre June `03 DA20>Midiman CO3/SCMS @ 00> Harman Kardon CDR2)

Shows that indicate "DAT (Master or Clone) > CD" in the "Notes" column were burned to CD by myself using above setup.

To view specific information (setlist, etc) about a particular show click on the associated date on the left of the page.

As I've found that ratings can be subjective (my "A" could be your "B" or vice-versa...), I don't list any. I'm very selective about what I collect, the vast majority of my discs are high quality. If any show you pick has "issues", I'll definitely let you know. To check out how someone else rates a particular gig, click on the "List users with this show" link when viewing a specific date/show's info page.

B&P (Blanks & Postage) requests are always welcome (time permitting).

Unsolicited trade requests are also welcome, you must be willing to send my picks first though (sorry, been burned a few times...).

Searchin' for (short list): Queens Of The Stone Age; White Stripes; Beck; Tortoise; DJ Shadow; Godspeed You Black Emperor; Old School Pink Floyd (pre `73); Ween; Primus/Les Claypool Related Projects; Jane's Addiction; Soul Coughing; etc, etc, ad infinitum....

I wholly welcome all who trade with me to please leave feedback regarding our exchange. This can be done by clicking the "Add/Update a Comment" link above. Thanks in advance!
