I had my doubts that ClickRepair could bring my irreplacable vinyl discs back to life, if only because every other "click" filter I've tried has had deleterious effects on sound quality.
Once I'd getting my vinyl disk onto my iMac, CleckRepair did something quite reparkable: rendered a good-sounding copy or the original file, without clicks or snaps, and very quickly. Frankly, I can't think of any situation where snaps and clicks improve a recording, unless it's nostalgia. The tracks that were provided by ClickRepair in some cases sounded better than the originals, since vinyl has a tendency to crackle, even under the best of conditions.Unless you can afford one of those $10k turntables with styli that scan the groove instead of touching them, this software is intuitive, but allows sme degree of tinkering, as well. It's modest price is very reasonable given all the vinyl you'll save from unnecessary wear.
I've tried other software; this seems to be best in class.
