I seem to agree with you Pat, I to use EasyCD-DA Extractor. I normally never normalize or if I do I make 2 rips unN and N. (A few tracks on the Doors being the case in point for N which was dramatic.) I cannot see how it is all opinion, for one must be able to compare the output bit files in hex and see the differences compared to the original. But then again if the output is compressed perhaps it is not so easy but has not somebody else already done this?
