RE: High Definition Links

When we recorded back in the 50's and 60's the way we combated hiss was to record at as high a level as we could. Also we started recording at 30ips. None of my recordings have any audible hiss. When you get a recording that has audible hiss it has probably been mastered from a second or 3rd generation tape. By the way, we tried dolby A for a short time but it had other problems so we stopped using it. You say "Hiss on recordings is IMO one if not the biggest downside to this hobby" Nonsense. I have thousands of recordings and very few have hiss. Plus I can easily block out hiss when listening just like I can block out ticks and pops on vinyl. Maybe your system is too bright. Get a narrow band equaliser to notch out the hiss. You can do this with little loss of material.
