Personal Note (from aksman)
With my vinyl rips I try to catch the whole beauty of records. Therefore I don't use any post-processing or any sound improver. What you get is a clear and flat transfer.
For getting a clear sound I'll do an extended washing of each record with my RCM, which can take up to 30 minutes brushing for each side. Resistant ticks and clicks I try to remove as good as possible, but the priority is not to loose any musical information.
Surface noises, as long they are not to high, are left in place. Only on bad pressings or on records recorded with extremly low level I do a fade in-/-out. As John Peel said, 'Life is full of surface noises'.
In some cases this means I have to do a compromise... The result has to pass my personal quality criteria which is IMO quite high.

This used record looks realy bad when I unpacked it. But after a long washing turn run on the RCM it was surprisingly quiet. Of course there were still some clicks left, which could be removed manually.

What Exactly Is An "Ultimate Master"
It is more or less a catchphrase originally used to designate something was a hi-res rip. But since there seems to be
a lot "similarly" <cough> named rips now I guess I should explain.
I try to present the "ultimate mastering" of a particular LP, the "mastering" is not my equipment or process but the
source material, it has always been about finding the best source. Now my opinion of the best source is subject to
change as I experience more variations. Whether or not folks think my rip is "definitive" is irrelevant to me, I just
try to find the best pressing and don't mind doing the extra clean up that comes with not just ripping new reissues or
japanese issues. I understand the appeal of these pressings but I don't subscribe to the notion that they represent
the best source 95% of the time.
