Puffball, interested in your experience with the SugarCube. Do you find it useful in general, or use it only for specific circumstances such as the one you mentioned? Thinking an US cleaner to remove pops might be money better spent for me. |

T-Bone Burnett / ST
This is such a well recorded album! |
Well, this stinks. ‘We’ lost power for about 2 1/2 hours, and had to start my last selection all over again after re-warm-up.
And I was just thinking how well the power has stayed on during this brief little heat wave….oh well, sure sounds wonderful now… |
I feel your pain. Had to unplug everything earlier this evening due to thunderstorms...

@flennon- I also have an US record cleaner. Even with that, the SC-2 in "click" monitor mode reveals some residual clicks and pops.
If you're only looking to control clicks and pops, the SC-1 does that. The SC-2 adds the ability to record data files and edit then output.
Overall, so far, I'm quite amazed how transparent the SC-2 is. Internally, the A-D creates and saves raw files (maybe FLAC) with a sample rate of 196k and 32 bit width. From that file it can output many file types, sample rates (196k maximum) and bit width (16 or 24).
I'm still learning the editing part which is done on a tablet, laptop or desktop connected to the SC-2 by WiFi (iOS or Android) or LAN (ethernet). On a laptop or desktop, it's easy to connect through a web browser to access the menus and settings. This is kind of a must because some critical settings are only accessible this way. The editing template is also only accessed this way. Output file management is also done through the web browser interface.
The SC-2 can supposedly store up to 4 records (A/B sides) worth of data before you must do something with it or not be able to record more.
User can select if the output file is processed for clicks and pops or non-processed.
This beats the way I've been creating mp3 or wav files for years. Everything was manual. Now I can save files as FLAC and from that derive all the usual suspects.
A huge bonus is access to the Discogs database for track titles and album artwork. That alone cuts my conversion time in half.

Thanks Puffball. Looking at the SC1 for my needs then. |
@flennon The Parks Puffin does a good job of removing pops from records. It's not the ultimate in refinement, but a great value at its price point. |

@flennon ...interested in your experience with the SugarCube. Adding my 2c. Had a demo by the designer of both. The SC1 is very good. Very slight loss of absolute transparency but nothing you'd notice after a few minutes. You can switch out the filter on the fly. Impressive product. |
