The sound card in your computer takes care of all the analog-to-digital stuff. Just make sure you get a good pre-amp (at least 90 db s/n ratio) and you should get some real good .wav files.

Check my web page at:

and also a more general discussion at:

as for burning, there's a bunch of stuff out there. I like DAK to capture and NERO to burn

good luck.

Dominic,

So, I most likely have an A/V card in my computer (hp pavilion 552w)....

Do I need a "straight" pre-amp, or can it have a built in equalizer and funky VU meters (with a 90db+ gain)?

How 'bout Radio Shack (USA)? I've bought many things from them over the years, and I've been very pleased....

I may need to download some recording software....but, I want to hear it first!!!!

I prefer to describe myself as a "Contemporary Anthropological
Interactive Observer" because it has just the right amount
of flair. Besides...."stalker" is such an ugly word.
