Please do what ever you feel is appropriate.  I'd love to end up with a copy the brothers
made.  It may even be from the master, who knows.  That would be the penultimate situation.
Now as far as a RIAA pre, I know the input says "phono" on the reciever...so as far as I know
I'm ok.  I'm using an Ortofon OMB 10 cartridge and it's only got about 30 hours on it.
Is it possible that they cut the vinyl hotter to be more "rock"?  I have 2 other copies and 
both have this sibilance.  I was hoping a new copy would take care of it.  Either way it's
very cool of you to offer to help.  Let me know what you come up with through your connections.
I'm also intrigued to find out what the brothers think of this particular album.  I consider it to be their
Sgt. Pepper's.
anyhooo-thanks again for your response.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

I might be interested in helping you out.  1rst, I can contact Donnie to see 
if he's done it, or any of the other brothers. 2nd, I will be interning also 
with Marie's radio show in may, so I might ask then what's available from "the 
fam".  They have a few CD's that are available at their shows.  I did lasers 
for them last time they were in town and remember them selling stuff that I 
thought was out of print.  Donnie gave me a stack of CD's as a thank you.  I 
still haven't plowed thru them to see what's on them....  3rd, I'm teaching an 
Audio Restoration Class this summer, where we take on vinyl resotoration 
projects.  Might be fun to transfer a mint copy.   
If you copy sounds excessively sibilant my first response is are you running 
it thru an RIAA phono pre-amp?  Line In's won't cut it.  Has to be a 
phono............

Hey.
Alan Haber...is it you who loved Crazy Horses, or is it Bill Holmes.  Hi 
can't remember...however:
I have just gotten a SEALED copy of the lp and really want to burn it to 
disc.  I have once already, but without
touching it, ie:record cleaning solution, soap and water, electro-static gun, 
what-have-you.
What I have on disc now sounds amazing, except alot of the sibilance is 
unbearable.  Like it's too hot
to vinyl, or something.  I'm hoping one of the audities fans of the album 
might be up for a challenge
to get this as clean as possible to cd.  I'd be willing to pay to have this 
as close to cd quality as possible.
Thanks, all.
later, joe
