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.

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.
