There's been lots of discussion about this on O&S.  I generally dislike cds 
that have had too much noise reduction.  I guess the digital medium makes 
noise unacceptable that was perfectly fine from analog media, but letting 
engineers edit art doesn't always work out for the best.  You end up with 
cold, dead sounding recordings where they've even taken out the singer's 
breath.  Things like that are what make a particular performance live.
