as far as a soundcard can be considered as *recording* equipment...i have a ESI Juli@ soundcard.

some specs:
- S/PDIF in/out 192/24 (coax)
- optical out 96/24
- two mono pairs of balanced/unbalanced analog in/out

using it to to 96/24 recordings (vinyl) with very good results. stereo playback is great!

Hi al,

Can you describe the setup your using to record the LP's?

James,

the phonopreamp's unbalanced outputs are directly connected with the unbalanced inputs of the Juli@. the soundcard includes the Steinberg Cubase LE5 software. although the card can handle up to 192/24 for recordings the software "keeps" it down to a maximum of 96/24 because the LE5 version is a 'light-version'. but there is an update available...and i think if you do the upgrade you'll be able to do 192/24 recordings. i haven't tried it yet as i am pleased with the 96/24 results.

Korg MR1000 1 bit professional stereo recording
& a pair of Neumann KM184.

BTW the BDP-1/BDA-1 comes fantastically handy to immediately check the quality of own recordings!

Rega turntable> Vista Audio phono preamp> Benchmark ADC-1> Pro Tools MBox Pro

I usually capture everything at 24/48 because that's what my Mbox Pro likes. Overall I'm happy with my transfers.

Nackamichi 581 Discrete 3 Head Cassette Deck, works, but needs some work.
Harmon Kardon TD392 3 Head Cassette Deck, actually in the system for that occasional walk down memory lane. Still works & sounds great.
