Can anyone advise on a good, but relatively cheap,

I'm told its best to clean up the input signal rather than
having to try to clean it up after its already recorded.
That's why I'm looking for this hardware, at a reasonable price.
I'm not looking for the high-end professional stuff.
Any information would be most welcome.
Actually the consensus is to modify the signal as least as possible before it
hits the harddisk.
So instead of spending money on a cheap compressor-equalizer-limiter, you
should spend it on a not-so-cheap pre-amp (maybe with in-built limiter and
possibly adc). And learn about mic-placement, shock-absorbers, wind-screens
and acoustical treatment of the recording-environment.
Have fun,
