Yep, I remember that click and pop remover; but I think it was about 40+ years ago. Here's a click and pop remover that came out about 35+ years ago:
Still works like a charm!

Still works like a charm!
I had this Pink Floyd vinyl bootleg a long time ago that turned out to be a bootleg of a bootleg. What I mean is it was near mint vinyl that was a recording of crackly scratched damaged vinyl. There was even a repeating skip in the middle of Echoes that looped a dozen times before someone nudged the tonearm. Let's see how this box does with that!
You know what ? 16/44.1 is already hi-res. Asking for more is overkill. Our ears are not that good.Yeah, ar, PERFECT SOUND FOREVER⁉ ......... 16/44.1 ..... should've squeezed a few more bits out of it before releasing it in PRIMETIME, IMO.
Fanatic reporting for duty.....rich boy toys for fanatics!

Speak for yourself, Francois, I can hear my car purring in the other room......puurfect sound forever ...and it ain't 16/44.1!
In principle yes, I would imagine so, the great trick is to do it in real time of course!Cool! I wonder if the algorithms in the Cube are somewhat similar in how they work to ClickRepair??
Sounds like I need one or two of these; now if that Powerball ticket would just cooperate!A fun day today as this box arrived:

I’d had an SC-2 (with built in recording facility) on order for some time but gave up waiting for it to come out of Beta testing and went for this version at a discount instead. I’ll just have to make other arrangements for recording the processed audio.
I soon got it connected up and tried it out on some LPs afflicted with varying levels of noise:

I have to say that the "Repair" is very impressive. Straight out of the box, with the default settings and not yet having run the cartridge / phono pre-amp calibration routines, the effect of the removal of ticks and pops is startling (as is listening just to the noise being removed!). Switching between processed/unprocessed/by-passed it seems to be completely transparent in use, although I will need a few more hours of really critical listening to confirm that, but it sounds really good so far!
One step nearer to archiving the entire quad LP collection in noise free digital form!
I'm wondering if you could do two passes for the Quads (one for fronts & one for rears) and somehow match them up in Audition; or is my thinking wrong here?A fun day today as this box arrived:

Oh, that sounds awfully complicated (and in any case I don't want to bother with any software, which is why I got the SC-1 in the first place!) I shall just be de-clicking the quad encoded stereo and digitally recording that for subsequent real time decoding into four channels.I'm wondering if you could do two passes for the Quads (one for fronts & one for rears) and somehow match them up in Audition; or is my thinking wrong here?
You would not only have the compromise of setting the sensitivity to either miss the lighter clicks or remove some of the content (because there's truly no 'one size fits all' sensitivity setting), but two passes would introduce the speed variations between passes. It would be a mountain of veri-speed sync work just to put the two passes together and then you'd have the compromised click removal to begin with. There'd also be the now multiple AD -> DA conversions through all that.I'm wondering if you could do two passes for the Quads (one for fronts & one for rears) and somehow match them up in Audition; or is my thinking wrong here?

Yup!the click removal process has no detrimental effect on the LP's matrix encoding (i.e. the de-clicked encoded Quad should decode just the same as if it were still clicky)?
