[78-L] Silence (no 78 hiss) on CD issues

[simmonssomer]

The world is full of <deleteds>. I have several in my own family.
However...as long as they do not alter the highs and lows and maintain the 
same dynamic (dB)characteristics of the 78
I don't miss the hiss.
Sometimes the surface hiss masks the  the vocalist's glottal hiss on 
transcriptions and ffrr's, for example..
