If I find some time, I'll make screen shots of the waveforms that come
from the M44-7 versus the SPU-GT.  They ARE very different in terms of
their high frequency content.

In a separate post I am offering to anyone interested a set of 4 MP3
files that show the difference in results.

Rather than discuss theory, let's share results!

For the purposes of the test that I am sharing, I used the standard
Steinberg DeClicker algorithm found in Wavelab 5.  I also have more
sophisticated DeClicker and DAW software, but the Steinberg software
is an affordable and solid DeClicker that is easily accessible to
most audio restoration engineers, and no can say that fancy software
was used to get these results.
