Following Original manuals, the file repair should be done in at least 3 paths, 4 if your phono preamp don’t have a subsonic filter and low frequency corrections.

1) DeNoiseLF

Optional if your phono preamp has all the needed filtering. For example if you are using a Fidler Classic Audio preamp, this step is covered by your preamp.

2) ClickRepair first pass

ClickRepair should be used using 2 passes, the first one to declick and the second one to decrakle, the values shows on the screenshot should be seen as a starting point for a VG+ record. You can go up to 50 until you will clearly hear a sound degradation but some people hear some changes in transients.

3) ClickRepair second pass

I usually keep decrackle to a low value because it needs to disable some of the protections and is more prune to false detections and musical alterations so try to stay below 17.

4) DeNoise

Apply a low reduction of the noise of the record, stay conservative, let’s say bellow 10db of reduction.

Suggestion of DeClick sensibility

Record gradeSensibility
M10
NM15
VG+25
VG35
G+40
G50
F65 ( but it will not be perfect and you should try to get a new version of the record)

I hope that this page will help you to begin with the ClickRepair suite of applications.

    Thank you for this! I’ve been a ClickRepair licensee since 2015 and I recently found your blog. I’m so glad to see these tools back again.
