You don't hear the crackle in the "deluxe" wav, when compared to the "original" and "+10db" versions? http://tripalot.com/cope/reviews/#jehovahkill-deluxe
Hmm, maybe my ears (or speakers) are more sensitive. To me, the crackle is very apparent on my main stereo and my main computer speakers. When I played back on a pair of cheap, muddy-sounding computer speakers, I couldn't hear any difference; that's because the muddy speakers don't have a good treble response.
Crackle is only evident when you have a strong amount of treble.
For those of you who aren't hearing the crackle (yet), could you try turning up the treble (and volume) and trying again?
A great test would be for two people with "bad" and "good" CDs to temporarily swap CDs and see if the crackle is CD-dependent or listener dependent.
Do any of y'all know each other in person?
What other testing on my end can I do to try to find out if either:
a) all CDs are the same (crackle depends on listener systems and habits)
b) some CDs have crackle and others don't
c) the CDs have varying degrees of crackle
