sound card recommendation
"Ken Bouchard" wrote in message
et OK, Arny, gotcha, the Santa Cruz looks good according to your review so I'll get one. Now for sort of a general question: Are there any measurements one can look at with a simple VOM, or do you need a good DVM? (like maybe the level of the signal going into your "line in") I'm asking because even my "cheapo" VOM has a dB scale. IME a cheap analog meter is often better for audio than a cheap digital meter. As you point out, the cheap analog meter generally has a dB scale, which has some value. IME no cheap meter has good frequency response up to 20 KHz, but the analog meter probably has better frequency response than the digital meter. Maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I find it easier to relate to relative indications on an analog scale - that's probably why so many digital meters have an analog-like bar graph as part of their display. My last analog meter broke about 20 years ago, and I miss it. It wasn't cheap, and I got a lot of good out of it. |
