xx/xx/80jack o roses
 jack o roses, this is a 24 bit, 48 khz transcription of a pristine copy of robert hunter's long out-of-print lp jack o' roses. the analog rig used to extract the sound from the grooves is near state-of-the-art, producing essentially none of the tracking distortion or surface noise normally associated with lps. the sound is cleaner and more detailed than you may have thought possible in lp transcriptions., equipment used for a/d conversion:, linn akiva phono cartridge, linn ekos se tonearm, linn lp12/lingo turntable, audioquest leopard tonearm cable, ps audio ps2 preamplifier, kimber pbj interconnect, m-audio audiophile usb a/d converter, the mildest possible declicking (click repair, declick 1, decrackle off, wavelet method, pitch protection) was used to eliminate some of the more obvious ticks and pops. other than that, there has been no noise reduction., the following information is from the annotated robert hunter discography:, jack o' roses (1980), dark star records: dslp8001, artwork: trevor wright; photograph: roy wilbraham, "solo--acoustic", tracks:, (all lyrics and music by hunter except where noted), 1. "box of rain": m: lesh [says garcia on record label], 2. "reuben and cerise": m: garcia [says lesh on record label], 3. "talkin' money tree", 4. "friend of the devil": m: garcia & dawson, 5.

"terrapin": m: garcia, * a- "lady with a fan", * b- "terrapin station", * c- "ivory wheels/rosewood track", * d- "jack o'roses", 9. "prodigal town"$Ain comparison on t1, this and Turntable: Linn LP12 have similar sound quality while mp3 version has less full sound
