Just to add to this thread. Looking over the CDEX manual, it appears the track offset parameter that is the first edit box in the CDEX window should be used for fine tuning track start. It is defaulted at zero but can be incremented with each increment equating to a 75th of a second.
Although this could be used to fine tune where CDEX determines the start of the track, I think it would be quicker to rip and edit later for the number of times you need to do this. It would be interesting to see if any of the paid for rippers can do a better job but I'd assume that this issue is with individual CD's and suspect that even the paid for rippers would need some manual fine tune for the odd track here and there? Many of the cases where there's a click or scratch are where tracks actually merge into each other on the source CD.
