[ARSCLIST] Purpose of ARSCList, was: looking for supplies

[Lou Judson <inaudio@xxxxxxxxx>]

Similar complaints are heard on NatureRecordists e-list... too much  
tech and not enough animals!

I was under the impression that this list is for restoration and  
archiving, and the equipment and techniques related to that. I for  
one am not looking for music or record discussion, except how to best  
play them and maintain archives.

I'd like to see more discussion of tape machines and A/D convertors,  
storage needs and digital preservation methods, what people and  
institutions use for metdata and migration, etc... Less about music.  
Am I on the wrong list for that? Can anyon point me to a better  
resource if so?

PS: 3M Type 67 is the only good splicing tape I know about. It's the  
light blue kind, and never goops or runs or falls off in my experience.

HEY, DOESN'T ANYONE TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC IN THIS THREAD?  All I read  
about is a cable here, and a power line there, with an amplifier over  
there, and a delimiter some place else.  I thought 78-L referred to  
the records, which actually do contain MUSIC.
