Regardless of how this is labeled, this is not a SBD reel to DAT direct transfer. The seeder admitted at shnflac that the lineage is UNKNOWN. In the bt.etree torrent, he said it might be sbd > cass> DAT but noone knows.

So lineage is wrong. And it's certainly not clear whether this is any sort of upgrade to the Hollister source.

Head on over to the bt.etree link if you want to read a spat about whether this is an upgrade. A user named badbob says "THIS IS A MAJOR UPGRADE IN SOUND QUALITY" that sounds "infinitely better" than 12758.

Well, here's my $0.02.

I pulled up the IA vbr mp3's of Jack Straw from 12758 (hereafter OLD) and 89641 (hereafter NEW) into Audacity. I sped OLD 0.85% so the speeds would match. (I don't know which source is really the correct speed, if either.) I amplified OLD 1.5db so the volumes were more equal. And then I played them through my mid-range stereo as I switched back and forth.

OLD and NEW sound significantly different, and I like OLD better. OLD has more "air" at the top and sounds a little more natural to me, and NEW sounds a bit harsh by comparison.

And from an objective standpoint, I'd note that if you listen to the verse that starts at around 0:50 and focus on the high end, there's a really nice, airy delicate cymbal playing in OLD that's all but wiped from NEW.
