Fer sure. I can't count how many folks I've known who blew megabucks on the most expensive system they could buy, and didn't have a clue as to how to set it up in their listening room.

It's going great.

Here's one of the first 78s I transcribed:

Great results. Pops and clicks mostly gone, groove noise minimalised, and the voices come through very clearly.

Now onto the Koussevitzky/Boston Symphony Orchestra performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3. This is where GoldWave excels, especially with the task of merging one sound file into another seamlessly.

BTW, IMHO, it has some of the greatest cover art ever from the 78 RPM era. I'll post it later.
