Aha! When I recorded at -6 db(yeah I RTFM), the fidelity is excellent--no distortion, either. Normalizing, it seems, used values set according to the peaks--12 or 14 of which turned out to be pops from the vinyl. I removed those, re-normalized, and voila! Ready for the burn.

Heartiest of thanks to all. This leaves me quite where I was before my post. Because: 1) Dragon, a little experimenting seems to bear out what you say--according to my ear. 2) Dr.D, what you aver is according to my experience in analog and with line level recording-all the hardware input level...

I want to record LP to WAV using Sound Forge. (i.e. I just want a faithful copy.) What input level should I use for max signal w/o clipping? Should I use the normalize feature? Or is that something I'd use when burning CDs with tracks taken from multiple sources? Any tips appreciated, I'm new to...
