--=====================_65332122==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed ah, yes ... Turtle Beach ... those were the days! Actually, I have changed over in recent years ... back to the CreativeLabs SoundBlaster series (the card with which nearly every other is "compatible"). I purchased an Audigy2 Platinum for my Desktop (~$100 US) and recently bought the Audigy2 ZS Laptop for one of the slots in my ThinkPad (~$130). The former ("platinum" version) includes a break-out box that fits into one of the bays of my desktop, allowing direct access to MIDI & audio ins/outs, so you don't have to constantly climb around your computer. The latter claims a S:N ratio of 104 dB. I have been very pleased with both, which use 24-bit D:A conversion and sampling rates up to 192 KHz. You might want to check out the newest Audigy4 card (~$300) which uses 32-bit digital processing. more info is available at: http://us.creative.com/products/welcome.asp?category=1& Good luck!
