LISTENING : NO SKIP / NO JUMP / NO LOOP / NO DISTORSION (too my ears) / ONE AUDIBLE MARK PER SIDE / BACKGROUND NOISE NEVER OVERWHELM THE MUSIC
COTATION OF LISTENING WOULD BE VG-  ACCORDING TO ME

Here is a report of complete listening :
Side 2 : Cello + Piano
0'00 Track 1 0'00-4'45 On low music, backgroud noise would be around 35% (1/3) (music 65%), according to my (subjective) evaluation When music is stronger (2'00-2'40) background noise would be around 20%. 3'00  2 tics 4'45 End of Track 1
4'48 Track 2
Backgroud noise is around 20%
5'25  1 Tic 6'50 to 8'30  Audible mark every 2 seconds 8'25  Beginning of Joyfull melody - Impressive presence of the cello - Does play VG to VG+ from here (background noise is around 10/15%) 10'35 ending of cello part 11'00  Beautiful cello music, does play strong VG 11'40  Cello solo 11'55  Finish

SIDE 1 - VIOLIN + PIANO
Track 1
0-10'   Backgroung crackles (35 %) 10'-40'  Background noise is around 20% 40-55'  Background noise is 35% 55-1'30  Background noise is around 20 % 1'30-3'00  Audible mark every 2 secs 3'00'-4'34  Plays VG  (background around 20%)
Track 2 4'37   Background noise would be around 35% 5'03  1 Tic 5'42/5'43  2 Tics 6'30   1 Tic 8'20  Background noise would be around 20% from here
8,40  1 Tic 10'05   1 Tic 11'05   1 Tic 11'45   Great violin presence, much enjoyable 12'05   1 Tic 12'40 - 12'50   Finish
Here it is. I hope this will help you to evaluate these beautiful recordings, this is a report i tried to be as honest as possible, but do not loose of view that my evaluation of background noise is personnal and subjective (no tools available to quantify this, as far as i know). I would be glad to answer any question that would remain.
