Thanks. My current sound card is a Rocketfish 5.1 PCI that I installed myself, and I am very pleased with it. As far as there being any computer noise, fat chance. I know for absolute certain that any noise registering on the meters came from the turntable and there was no bleed from any computer fans or anything like that. I am pretty much convinced that I can tackle this again when I get the equipment in a few months. I will be providing samples of the raw data for you to listen to, then if any changes need to be made, I will go from there. I figure between my knowledge and input from you folks that have done this, the end result will be great.
