here goes:

Last week I became a New CD owner. 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.
