Gotta agree with Tom about source. A Clean source will sound much better and be a lot easier to restore than a beat up disc. Most click a noise removal software have a limit to what they detect. Oh. And I all else fails I have one stylus that is used Dorset playback. It's a last resort but can do wonders on did you think are beyond repair. And it's almost always something obscure that there is no other copy to be found.

I'm sure others will have specific recommendations. Izotrope's seems to be a step forward, based on examples I've heard. Again, don't expect miracles, any DSP will leave nasty artifacts if over-used. Usually, the "default" settings remove too much content for my ears (ambience around instruments, "air and space," room-tone, etc), so I would recommend "default-minus," never "default-plus." > > 7. re-read and pay much closer attention to 1-4 than 5-6.
