Sound Cards


I'm a very picky audiophile and was stunned by a question my wife posed to me while cleaning the basement. She pointed to my old Crown CX744 10 inch reel to reel and said why don't you get ride of that thing since you never play it anyway? All you have to do is transfer your one of a kind recordings to CD. Well she just put me into the computer sound card world with a great idea. I was informed by young students at my university that I wanted to rip music. Well all of a sudden I'm part of the MPEG III crowd. Does anyone have a suggestion as to the right sound card (and software) to take an analoge stereo source and convert it to a CDROM? I'd like full 16/44.1K sampling, not MPEG III. I don't care about CD to CD transfers.

Good advice from Audaibnjad. Another idea might be to go to a local Guitar Center or Mars Music and check out some of the entry level pro-audio systems that include a two channel EXTERNAL A/D with a sound card and some CD burning software. Sweetwater Sound also carries this stuff. www.sweetwater.com
