Tape hiss on a CD !!
Any decent sensible engineer would have filtered that out. Unless ofcourse the source material was over cranked ie at the max before tape saturation level gave audiable distortion, and the source was already over compressed. In wich case they might not have been able to do anything without loosing the top of the treble register completly.

!Way more real! The extra bite, and clarity. The extra punch on drums, more on the top end of cymbals etc are typical examples of excessive dynamic compression.

BTW i have always found LZ to be overcompressed, lacking in dynamic range and overall space-and-air. Great shame cos the music is really good most of the time. But sounds as great in the car as on the home system.
