I ripped myself using a technics direct drive SL-3200 With an Audio-Technica Cartridge AT90E in to a pioneer sx 2300 into a
sony stand alone cd recorder rcd-w500c Ripped to Flac 8 using EAC. unless otherwise noted on the actual post itself.
If you listen very carefully you'll hear snap crackle and pops. I don't use a High End rig,
I have the same set up as I used for the past 25+ years. It sounds like you're actually listening to a vinyl record!
I rip into a stand alone cd recorder then I upload onto my computer using EAC, then I do any click repair as needed
and track separation
