Very good 4 minute demo. The only thing missing was that the EQ curves you show could stand to be clearer (the values are hard to read). I'm working on a 1927 Victor Scroll of Whiteman's "Rhapsody in Blue" using Brian Davies' Equalizer software to de-RIAA and apply new EQ curves, then CoolEdit Pro to get the de-clicking and noise reduction done. Any 'sweetening' needed I can do inside CEPro. It's just that a lot of the Victor curves are so damned shrill sometimes...

On second thought don't boost 400 it's already too loud there usually

Am I supposed to be listening to your video on my lap top computer and make something out of your silly RIAA curve comparison? This is bunk. Just get your own multi-band equalizer and EQ it any way that sounds good. Cut off the 60 and 100 Hz and boost the hell out of the 200 and 400. Cut off the 4000 and 8000 Hz because there is nothing there but noise, and boost the hell out of 2000 and 1000. In order you make old 78's sound good you need a good equalizer.
