Restoration Suite vs. Restoration Bundle


Anyone tried both of these and have an opinion about which is better for vinyl to digital transfers? Restoration Suite is from T.C. Electronic and Restoration Bundle is from Waves.

The Restoration Bundle certainly has the advantage in compatibility with other software/hardware.

In a related question, does anyone know if you can get blank LP's? Apparently to optimize use of the noise filter you need to create a noise profile with no signal.

Some test records have unmodulated grooves. The Cardas record is one.

Of course every LP has blank grooves in the runout area. Using those to set up your noise profile would be ideal. Different LP's have different vinyl formulations and therefore different noise levels. The only question is, how much running time is required to set up the noise profile?

That may be software-dependent, and I have no experience with such software.
