Thanks. It was the playback. Is your resampler published? I'd like to try it. Since the resampling turned out to be possible, I will probably use this setup for Vinyl->CD conversion; and I'd like to have as good a resampler as possible. > I agree with Erik that this ringing and distortion must come from your > sound card or driver setup and additional sample-rate conversions or > something like that, not from the sinc-based resampling.

The source is very noisy because that particular recording is a grammophone one made around 1930, then copied with some cleaning to new vinyl around 1980. It's DOUBLE mechanical recording noise.
