thanks for the good lp rip of this album, the cd reisuue sound very crap, they manipulate the sound a lot and get to an unreal sound very cold and squeaky
PS:
Allow me to warn you about the many mini-skips i find in almost all your lp rips,
they are software/pc skips (not from the vinyl)probabily because you run some software during the recording and this slow down your machine,
this what i learned from my ripping experience , but it may be something else...
Try to rip not using the pc during the recording, just to test if it works.
Sorry, i hope u dont mind if i tell u that,
just because i love your rips and would enjoy have them all at the best

Kosta,

Yeah, when I get in a groove of cutting out 'pop's' I sometimes have the recording level too high thus the crackle get's louder in my ear such that I cut out more skips. i have been trying to lower the levels and cut only the bigger pops sounds. But the flipside is that the cuts are usually during a sustained sound such that you don't notice at all....only notice super quiet rip. I can't record without software and I don't think that is it as it is a modern (smaller box) PC that had a newer sound card. Having a CHIP at the sound card will preclude any software slow downs to a mother board. I record my circular high voltage stylus (10 mV) at 29% line in always then just hitting the red using the two amp levers on the preamp. In fact, my STANTON pre-amp has more knobs for high and low frequencies that I usually leave at 50% but if I hear booming from the software boost I lower the bass knob a little. The software boost is at a lower level to just get the low end high enough for loud sound systems and then the high stylus voltage really captures all the mid to high range frequencies as the circular digs deeper into the groove than the elliptical I tried last year. for a little while. Most of the post 90's vinyl is made for elliptical I guess but the early stuff will skip on first track from elliptical. I was worried my 28% line-in occasionally chops treble sounds but I don't think so. Any treble blurbs you hear are groove wear (sometimes elliptical can help groove wear and reach the groove sounds) or the top of the groove has a scratch in it that is open when the needle tries to read...but I was thinking I had chopped the frequency a little and it dropped out from too low of volume but I don't believe this anymore with the high percentage of good rips I have don't this way since I started 6000 rips ago. Also can be from a worn stylus tip (I replace for $50 once maybe twice a year depending on how bad my Goodwill vinyl is l(but funny thing is that the store bought stuff is way worse than any minty Good Will stuff I find usually). I guess the stores get them off the streets while the Good Will usually gets them when owners die and they usually were keepers in meticulous condition.

Kosta, thank you for you opinion--I value it highly as it is rare to hear it since this stuff is usually not in books and must be discovered through trial and error. Your approval of my rips and feedback is invaluable to me and helps me reassure myself I am not going bonkers with this stuff...LOL

Thanks for the intersting reply Viacom...

"I can't record without software and I don't think that is it as it is a modern (smaller box) PC

Sorry i express myself in a wrong way
i mean:
Try to rip not using other softwares than the one u are using for the rip, obviously
I use WaveLab, but if i open some heavy software during the recording this can cause some little skips...
Anyway..i see now you are an engineer, so i suddenly shut up, since i'm a pharmacist

that's my rip set:
Stanton 881s
Technics SL-1610
TRIGON Vanguard II
RME Audio Babyface
WaveLab
