Question for Dibrom - sound cards

Dibrom, may I ask a question? I saw that you've changed from the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz to the M-Audio Revolution soundcard. Are doing recording from stereo (tapes or LPs) to harddrive, then burning CDs? How would you rate the line-in sound quality of those two sound cards?

I have the TBSC card, doing a lot of recording from the stereo. Sound seems to be pretty good but I am not an expert. Would be grateful for your opinions. Thanks, Steve

Actually I had only used the TBSC for a short time, perhaps a month.. and I have not done any recording in quite awhile, so I have never tested the line-in from the TBSC or the Revolution.

I would imagine in any case that the line-in on the Revo provides higher quality than the TBSC (not to mention it supports 24/96 unlike the TBSC).  Whether or not this will be very noticeable for your purposes, I don't know.

I used to use a Delta1010 for my recording, before the card for the setup got broken during a move.  The playback quality of the Revo seems to be pretty much on par with the Delta1010 from what I can tell (rightmark scores shows that it pretty much matches the LynxTWO even for 16/44.1, IIRC) though.
