[BC] Optimod distortion?

[Mike Erickson]

The Optimod may be enhancing distortion from the recordings, or unmasking
(making more noticable) the encoded audio noise reduction from the Adobe
Audition.

I love Audition, but Sound Forge has a better vinyl restorer.  Any processor
is going to exaggerate artifacts in the audio and sometimes, noise reduction
tricks become evident under heavy amounts of processing.  Which Optimod is
this?
