lol, how can someone be so stupid and call something an upgrade to a mastertape? |
| Fat Lizzy 15.10.2006 06:14 |
Well he says it's unprocessed. So he says "ours" is a 1st Gen CDR which is far worse to his unprocessed recording (TAPE > EAC > FLAC) in his opinion and therefore he calls it an upgrade... |

The one on dime is one CDR gen lower than the version that Bob uploaded here. Plus the torrent on DaD has perfectly accurate source and lineage information that everyone who downloaded the show from here should add to his notes and pass it on when trading. |

Well I think there are 2 options: a. The copy of Bob is remastered (Bob...?) b. A new transfer was posted on Dime and was transferred in a different (worse?) way It can be either of those, the track times differ aswell so I'm not sure. |

Bob got the copy from the guy who recorded the show so it's most likely the mastertape. |

Simply the lineage would look like this: MASTER > DIGITAL > CDR(x) > DIGITAL > CDR(1) But what happens in the digital areas (ripping or copying) is that there is a SMALL possibility that there is quality loss on a microscopic level (which can't be heard anyway) so that should make his copy an upgrade. I wouldn't waste my time on that minor difference. Even though I'd want the lowest gen possible this is worse than the one Bob posted. |

If you would download the version on Dime and compare it to the one on QZ you will find out that the quality of the one posted here on QZ has actually better sound quality. Please read before you post something. You are right, but do your homework first. I have... |

It may introduce digital errors into the audio though. |

Download the one from Dime and LISTEN, in other words: DO - YOUR - HOMEWORK You will hear, just like me, that the sound sounds less clear and distant. Not with errors or anything. ITS JUST WORSE! (I already corrected my lineage post before you quoted me) |

<font size="1">Ðon Gerolamo</font> wrote: Download the one from Dime and LISTEN, in other words: DO - YOUR - HOMEWORK (I already corrected my lineage post before you quoted me)Thanks for the advice, Jerome. If you say that the version on dime is inferior - fine, I believe what you say and I have no problem with that. I didn't post here to argue with you which version sounds better, but to reply to posts like "..how can you upgrade a mastertape...". Judging from the notes, the dime version is closer to the master and that is a fact. I also pointed out that the dime torrent has very accurate lineage information for which I'm grateful. If it sounds better actually, well that's another story and I cannot answer that one yet, simply because I haven't listened to it. And BTW: As far as correcting your lineage post, CDR(x) is not the same as CDR(0)... |
| Fat Lizzy 15.10.2006 07:23 |
I know you're true about the lineage, I didn't say you were wrong on the lineage. I know that x isn't the same as 0 but I used it because in this case it didn't matter whether I typed x or z or m, as it was clear enough that it was a gen below the 1st so it's 0 anyway. But as I said, you're right about the lineage and if you're going to download or are already downloading the Dime version and compare it, you could hear that there is a difference in the sound. Great that we finally worked this out, as I don't want any arguing either. When are we going to do a trade again? :P |

Here's the full info: ANALOG MASTER RB 7th row right center Recorder: Technics RS-686DS ANALOG Tape: Maxell XL-II C-90's Dolby On Mics: Teac ME-80's (same as CM-300) Played back on identical machine (Dolby off)> Chord Co. Cables Pre-amp: Naim 52 CDR Recorder (Stand Alone): Tascam CDR-2000 CDR: Taiyo Yuden Gold 74-ZY Master CDR> PC Drive: UltraPlex40max SCSI EAC>FLAC>To You Guys, enjoy, RB ----------- I heard a sample of the Dime version, and it sounds exactly the same as mine. I compared bits of WAV from both copies in a wave editor, and they look identical. I have no reason to doubt this guy's lineage. The track times on my CDR copy are almost the same the Dime version. The only differences on mine are the intro and JR being one track, and KQ/Car are one track. Since most of my CDR track times are the same as the Dime version (but not all), I'm led to believe there is another CDR gen in there. I completely changed up the track times before converting mine to FLAC. Google "Technics RS-686DS", and you'll find Rick, the guy who recorded this show and hundreds of others (his only Queen shows were Chicago 78/80). Unfortunately, his webpage just went offline this week. My best guess is that my copy is actually the third CDR down the line. So, it turns out mine isn't directly from the taper, but *almost* directly. Here is my take on the lineages of both copies: Mine: AUD > Master > CDR(0) (standalone) > WAV > CDR(1) > EAC > FLAC Dime: AUD > Master > CDR(0) (standalone) > EAC > FLAC But really, the bottom line is, the sound of my copy and the Dime copy are identical. Only purists need to grab the Dime version if they feel the need. |

I have been reading this thread and the one on dime link and the more I read the more confused I get. I did not download either Sir Bob's nor the dime version because I have an excellent version from Mr. Scully. I now asked him to check the source of his copy. Can anyone tell me the running time of Bob's and the dime version, please? |
| Wilki Amieva 16.10.2006 07:32 |
Also the Dime version has no fades. |
