Mick:

I noticed the clicks too...at well below "concert" levels, just a damned
fine pair of Klipsh speakers.
However, as QUAD Jimmy would say: "I'm not bothered, am I?" Given the
improvement in this disk, I don't mind. I though perhaps I was just hearing
flaws so buried before that they weren't noticable (ditto with the noise on
Relax). Pick noises...fine with me.
I do wish they had cleaned up the distortion of the piano at the beginning
of Baba, though. That DOES annoy me.
