Hello All, A friend suggested I upgrade my sound card (the MB integrated one is not so great). One suggestion was a TurtleBeach card - any suggestions of which TB card specifically - or other suggestions would be welcomed. The main thing I want to do is put some of my favorite music from my old LPs on to CDs. A related question would be to upgrade the CDRecorder to a DVD/CD -- any suggestions or guidelines there? Which ones are linux compatible? Thanks ===== Stephen W Sarasota, FL "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine ..." Proverbs __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hmmm, are they ever any good?

If you are really concerned about the fidelity, I'd recomend a card with twin phono inputs (rather than mini-jack) and decent onboard electronics. For general listening the difference in quality is marginal, but if you are replaying through high-end hifi equipment it can really show. I've used both types (with the same source equipment) and the jack input has more noise and cross channel interference. But then again, I was replaying the CD at 2KW!
