My ripping project is at its 5 year mark and I am approaching the end (hopefully within a few months) of my goal of ripping 10,000 vinyl and tape albums. You can see all my equipment in my signature. The actual ripping equipment and software has stayed the same, though I did change the TT/cartridge a few months ago (it was a VPI HRX Rim Dirve with Lyra Skala). Remember everything is real time and more - editing tracks, labeling, and any other processing. So I have spent a good deal more than 10,000 hours doing this (though not having to listen to all 10,000 hours of albums).
Comparing vinyl to digital all 192/24 PCM, because I declick and when necessary decrackle (with Izotope RX3Advanced), the digital files sound better than the vinyl.
Comparing rips with originals of 15ips 2 track tapes of master dub level (Tape Project, MPS, UltraAnalgoue, Yarlung, IRI, Opus 3, etc), the original tapes are very, very, slightly better in my system - very, very, slightly better back wall ambience.
Since I started, other software has come out, which I have not tested, but Pyramix with the Merging Mykerinos card feeding a Pacific Microsonics Model Two has worked very well for me. My understanding is that other software is much more consumer oriented and easier to use.
PS. This is all pro equipment and software and I had a few top notch engineers tutoring me how to use all this stuff - won't have been able to do it without them. A shout out to Paul Stubblebine, Mike Romanowski and Mark Willsher.
