Everyone's tolerance for noise defect removal is different. As a listener, I would prefer to hear crackles and pops and hiss plus frequencies from the instruments in that range instead of a clean, but dulled version. On a lot of old, badly remastered tracks you cannot hear cymbals at all because the 'sizzle' is in the frequency range of hiss.

ooh. someone opened a stale can of worms. :o)

anyway, perhaps a new thread if we want to pick up this flame war again? it has nothing to do with books.

I'm not flaming anyone, I'm observing that maybe the tracks would be usable for someone else. Sorry if it came off that way.

As far as jazz books, everyone should read "Reading Jazz", which is a thousand page collection of excerpts from other jazz books.
