1. Are you running the latest version of ACR/PS?
2. If you are, as soon as you import the file into ACR the first thing you ever do is scroll down to DeNoise (Enhance) click that, let it render, depending on the ISO move the % up or down, then let it render, it then produces a DNG file which you then work on, basically a new Raw. If you don't apply Enhance first, will screw the raw up, fact, this isn't a debate option.
3. Do not use Adobe colour in the Profile, change it to Adobe standard.
4. DO NOT apply any more NR to the image after Enhance.
