I have to admit some fault. I thought that I was good to go using EAC to get bit perfect extractions and that all was good. Then I read this:

So fortunately...I don't trade much. I don't know how much of an effect my original settings had on the EAC's I did in the past. I'm still not 100% that I do have it set now. I read, and re-read the instructions found:

I set the read offset to 0, ripped a studio disk, burned that disk, ripped tracks off of the second disk, and compared the WAV files using the feature in EAC. At first I came up with 92 missing samples on the original rip. I adjusted my read offset to +92.
Then I re-ripped the second disk and compared the WAV files again. This time I got no errors.
SO...am I good now?

That's exactly what yer supposed to do Bill.
For further sanity checks you could do a file compare in DOS between the two .wav's you extracted from different disks to ensure the files are identical (not sure what EAC uses).
If in windows > Start > Run > 'cmd'
In DOS window:
C:\> FC filename1 filename2
Similar format to the unix "diff" command.
