 sbd cotsman9248B+1st set rates B and 2nd set goes up to B+; in comparison on bird song 127478 is less natural sounding than 9248 probably because of the noise reduction on 127478 ***
 alt versions tagged , included in this file123022 note that some of the description in the info file for 123022 versions on hiss and cuts do not match my findings; in comparison on dark star, 9248 and version one of 123022 sound similar; version one of 123022 has lower levels, a better sound quality patch at 20:0x in dark star without the pops (although volume could have been matched a little better), and an extra 50 second patch in bobby mcgee making it better than 9248; alt version of 123022 has less hiss and less full sound and sounds more suppressed and has about 1 and half second cut at 10:46 in dark star; so recommend version one of 123022 plus 9248 for the rest of show; in comparison on me and bobby mcgee, 127478 is harsher and is less natural sounding than 123022 probably because of the noise reduction on 127478 ***

 sbd gorinsky5801A-there are small patches of lesser sound quality; in comparison on stella blue 132778 has some weird processing causing the volume of the hiss to go up and down which causes the vocals to get loud and unnatural ***
