I thought I found that online somewhere that the valve thing is just what
the British call tubes. I thought Adam Curry's idea on his shows in the
earlier days when he said he used a "stereo valve processor" litterally
meant the name of the device, when in fact, all it is was a generalization
of any device that processed the stereo signal leaving the board that may
have had tubes in it.

For anyone in the UK who just might possibly not know, read "valves" for
"tubes".
Yes, a warm sound indeed, LOL! In fact the mic pre-amp attached to this
speaker has a valve, um, "tube" in it's front end. I'm old enough to
remember
valve equipment and we weren't sorry to see it go by and large as it tended
to
be unreliable.
Space might be a bit of an issue, but I imagine mounting within slots
sideways
in the printed circuit board an internal card wouldn't present a real
problem.
External cards don't raise an issue here.

High once again,
I don't know how true this is, but I hear that Sound Blaster is coming out
with a card that uses a pare of 12AX7 tubes for the line out, and a pare of
12AU7 tubes for the line and mike ins.
Word has it that this card will be out some time next year.
If that happens, then I won't need a preamp that has tubes to get that warm
sound transferred from my old records and cassettes.
I am wondering 2 things.
For starters, how will the card with tubes and all fit in to any desktop
computer?
And how much will it cost?
My best regards!
John.

Hi John,
Thanks for the advice. I must admit that I discarded the Sound blaster
cards in advance. I suppose the digital connections will be ok, since a bit
is a bit. However, their d/a-converters don't have a very good reputation
with me. Maybe they have improved, or maybe I am just prejudiced, but I was
originally going for a more high-end solution. Do Sound blaster actually
make high-end cards, or is is it just gaming and surround stuff, like I
thought it was? Are there any good alternatives?
Best regards
Bue

Hi.
Can anyone help me?
I need a high-end hi-fi soundcard with an accessible configuration
interface and that is compatible with Windows 7. It is going to sit in
my hi-fi pc, so I don't really need surround sound or 64 channels..
All i really need is stereo analogue and digital inputs and outputs
and a card that will do the job and do it really well.
Best regards
Bue
