I'm taking a break from USB soundcards.  *grin*.
I purchased an Audiophile 2496.  Even though my first M-Audio productexperience sucked. There's loads of stuff about success's with the2496 and it's recording specs were almost just a good as theaudiophile USB.  Newegg had them for $89 bucks.
Thank's for the info.  Looks like I need to get an ortofon needle formy new Stanton turntable.  You are the 2nd person to call them out.
