MY VINYL RIP PROCEDURES <===
To clean the vinyls I use the Knosti Disco-Antistat record cleaning system.
To remove the surface dust I use the Nagaoka Rolling Cleaner.
The vinyls are ripped through this equipment:
- Shure M97XE cartridge & stylus
- Technics SL-1210-MK2 turntable
- TCC TC-750 Phono Preamp
- Creative USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX Sound Card
The files were ripped using GoldWave or CoolEdit 2000 and saved as WAV files.
The sample rate of the wav file is 44.1 kH and the resolution is 16 bit.
REMASTERING: Only if it's necessary, removing click & pops with preset "Passive Mode" of GoldWave.
COMPRESSION: FLAC Fronted or Monkey's Audio.
Each file is separate. As they're vinyl rips I didn't use EAC and, therefore, there's no log file.

WHY ONLY A 16bit AND NOT A 24bit RECORDING? <===
I am not an audiophile. I have tried to understand which it was the better resolution to rip my vinyls.
I have found this wonderful guide:
Transferring LPs to CDR: Some AdviceThis is the point about the question "
Is 16 bit Recording Enough?"
