Hi, Don,
I am aware of the difference, but the click/crackle I had on the very
damaged record that ClickRepair did so well on approaches crackle.
Since each tool works differently for different people, this comment is
worth repeating.

I think anyone interested in this type of work (unless they have the
really high-end software like Cedar) should download a trial copy (valid
for 21 days). That will go much farther than us chatting about it. <smile>
The prices via the Kagi store are $45US for ClickRepair and $45US for
both Denoise & DenoiseLF. The equalizer is free. If you pay via PayPal
(a manual process), both combined are $70AUS.
