Listened to a few choice parts of my 90's vintage standard issue Kind of Blue CD today.
Significant hiss in the background and a few spotty rough edges that sounded somewhat scratchy from time to time, but overall sounds very full bodied, textured and lifelike.
I think you just have to live with the hiss and rough edges on this one. Its noticeable but does not interfere with the overall performance and impact. Kind of adds some natural atmosphere that reminds you that this was recorded almost 50 years ago now, so its practically an antique. What a classic piece though!
