High Ray,
That was some good story listening man!
I would like to hear more stories like the one I just herd!
How often do they stream radio books like that one?
I am in Florida, that means the zone is eastern time for me.
My best regards!

Hello all,
Just as I promised in my last post, here is the link to that USB vacuum tube 
amp that I was telling you all about.

http://www.neuhauslabs.com/amplifiers/
I am wondering something about this though, can you record from this unit?
I will call them and ask them about that tomorrow.
My best regards to you all!
 John.

Speaking of high sound quality - I would be in the market for a very good

Is there anything better than the xitel for example?

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

2009-11-01 Thread djdoctorp

Hello all,
I have been doing some digging on vacuum tube sound cards, and this is what 
I've found.
I found a tube amplifier that has a USB inter face that bypasses your 
computer's sound card.

It has a 24 bit 156 kHz DAT converter.
But it is kind of pricy.
This unit sails for $750
I will get back to you with the link to this thing later.
My best regards!

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?

High Andy,
I have done my home work on Windows 7, it's not anything like Vista.
Windows 7 in a whole lot of ways mimics Windows XP.
If your USB card worked well with XP, it will work really well with 7.

Hi there.

My name iis Andy Logue and I used to have XP Home with a Creative
Soundblaster 24 bit external card, feeding my AV Unit, via an optic out, but
since VISTA I have not been able to keep this configuration.  I'm hoping to
move onto Windows 7 and like yourself, I'm wondering if I can use a
Soundblaster card.

The advise this member has given does not assit me as I visited the link
provided and learned nothing.

Perhaps if you find out more then you can share your knowledge with me.

I'm, like yourself, not interested in 3.1, 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound and all
that nonsense.  Like you, all I wish is Stereo and good access.

I wish to play and record from my external sound card, via an Optic in or
out.  Not much to ask for I'm sure , but depressingly, the days of being
able to undertake the kind of stuff we have enjoyed for years is passing
fast.

Please let me know if you find out a good accessible sound card for Windows
7.

I just recently paid £150 for an old XP home computer, so that I would be
able to continue my practice of playing through my sound card.
Unfortunately, the £150 was just wasted as the computer arrived damaged.

I'm not sure whither to move back to XP home or move onto Windows 7.  As far
as VISTA is concerned, although interesting, is no friend of mine and I'll
be pleased to see the back of it, like Millennium.

Very best wishes.
Andy.
