Come on, if you're going to talk about acceptable noise in 2008, at least reference a recording from the last couple of years.

That's one way of looking at it. I don't look at this whole music thing as if some kind of standard improves each year as technology does. I wonder why all this technology can't beat stuff made 40 years ago. I wonder why I'm listening to 40 year old songs when all this technology should be making this old music obsolete. Maybe it's just my own person defect, but I think there are few recordings made in the past 5 years that rival the two tunes I mentioned above.

If it's a huge pit of poisonous snakes that is causing a ruckus on your recordings, I think you really have other things to worry about than what the listener is going to hear.

Lennon and Simon/Garfunkel were from a completely different era. Where music was played through the AM, not just FM (yes?) So I'd be hesitant to draw a comparison - realistically, if you're an engineer, you have to have zero hiss IMO. Clean as a duck's tail. Your sole job is produce quality, accurate recordings.

What if the reason the mentioned tunes are timeless and therefor "quality" is because of the hiss? It's just food for thought.
I guess in my quest to define what "great" is for my own recordings, I'm not sure if hiss is an issue. With that said, I can't imagine going out of my way to get it.
