I'm sorry, but based on my experience, there is nothing magical about transferring an old recording into a new format.There can be.
All of the things you mentioned (compression, re-equalization, noise removal, de-hissing) don't have to be done. We have seen flat transfers in the past (some of the MFSL, most of the DCC). Sometimes you don't want a flat transfer - and that's where the magic comes in.
