I have to agree with the RRL camp.
I also tried many different things, and none work as well for me.
I also tried them based on recommendations of Patrick, Doug, and others here.
I also have learned that there are people on this forum who have much more patience to try many more processes than I am willing to try.
So, to sum it all up, Patrick may have the most anal cleaning process in the world, but damn if it don't work good! I use it on any "rare or expensive" album that I have. I use about 3/4 of the process on the rest.
And since I started doing it his way, damn if my albums don't sound better.
So, I gues what I'm tying to say is you can try all of the options that are out there, or you can take the advice offered, and try it first. It may save you a lot of aggravation, and again I'll testify to the fact that it does work, and well.
