Equipment:

Turntable: Music Hall MMF-5 with Goldring 1012GX (default) cartridge

Preamp: dunno, something in my amplifier :)

Soundcard: Creative SoundBlaster Audigy SE

Software: Linux with ALSA drivers for soundcard, Audacity for mastering. Encoded with flac version 1.2.1 using the highest compression.

It was ripped from a mint record on the first play.

Grabbed in 48 kHz 32bit (really it's 24bit (i hope) converted to 32bit), then normalized, then converted to 16bit.

If you want to burn these files on CD, you would need to resample them to 44.1 kHz.

I used 48 kHz for 2 reasons - no downsampling and audio won't be resampled when played on computer - most of the modern audiocards don't support 44.1 kHz output, but i think almost all can play 48 kHz audio.

CD version of this album is awfully mastered, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war


Hope you will enjoy this rip, it has no clipping, so sound should be better than on CD version.

Photos of cover and labels are included.

Released by parafin.
