Trading Rules:

  • Media: Maxell XL II (preferred) or TDK MA only. Send cases, because I do.
  • No high-speed dubbing. I don't do it. It sounds like shit.
  • No Dolby. I don't use it. It sounds like shit.
  • Use a decent stereo or dual-deck to dub. Otherwise, well, you know what it sounds like.
  • Please don't start a song on one side and end on the other. I don't do it, unless it's already on my source that way.
  • Two weeks is more than enough time to copy tapes and get them in the mail.
  • Please include all liners and stickers and such, but don't write on them.
  • Please include dates, setlists, and venues in the package where applicable. CaseLinr is a great utility for making J-cards and such. If you want to use it, I'll be most appreciative. However, no one has ported it to Linux (yet), so I can't use it.
  • For the time being, I only have access to one VCR, so I can't copy videos. Sorry.

Want List:
  • Anthrax: anything, particularly Persistence of Time and later
  • Dream Theater: Falling Into Infinity tour
  • Fates Warning: Inside Out and A Pleasant Shade of Gray tours
  • Rush: Hemispheres and Signals tours
  • Van Halen: 5150 and OU812 tours
