I am a little disappointed. I hear noise very similar to tape hiss between tracks on popular disks and during the quite passages on a classical disk.The noise is not exceptionally loud, but I can still hear it. I am convinced the source of the hiss is not my amplifier because if I hit the "STOP" button on the CD player, the noise stops. The unit: Technics (sp?) SLP-8. The disk: Label = PROARTE DIGITAL. Minnesota Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. It was supposedly recorded using the "3M Digital Recording System" Is it common for a malfunctioning filter to cause this kind of problem. Am I expecting too much? I keep reading about the uncanny quiet between tracks etc... I should mention that I do not possess "golden ears" by any stretch of the imagination. I just wanted to get rid of tape hiss and record crackle. Any comments would be appreciated. Charlie Yashinovitz charm!cjy
