High Bob,
I use Switch to convert the WMA files to MP3.
It is only when I'm listening to these files to make sure that they're ok, I
hear a change in the sound quality.
A lot of these files are from CD's that I ripped to my hard drive using
Windows Media Player, but I play them back in Winamp.
Tweaking the tone controls in my sound card and or tweaking the EQ doesn't
seem to fix the problem.
Do you have anymore suggestions?
Thinks.
John.

Perhaps changing the bit rate of the recording might help, although I have
to admit that I am not an expert in the area of digital recording. The
only other thing that I can thinkof is the compatibility of analogue to
digital. There may be some conflict with your card and the tube amplifier.
My mP3 files sound fine on my player, but have a lot to be desired when
played on a high end system. It has a lot to do with compressing those
files. At the end of the day one ends up having to make some sacrifices
when it comes to the quality of the audio. My player has a built in
equalizer that is good enough to mask the poor recording of some audio
files. . .

High Bob,
I have already done that, but the problem is still with me.
This is especially the case when I play MP3 files after I've converted
them from WMA lossless.
The WMA lossless files sound ok, but the real ear sore is those MP3
files.
I only do this to put the MP3 files on my MP3 player.
But is there a way to make those sound any better then they do while I'm
checking them out?
Thinks in advance!
John.

Try lowering the output of your soundcard, and see what that does when
the tube amplifier picks up thedigital signal generated by the
soundcard.

Hello,
Does anyone know about a sound card that uses vacuum tubes?
I have a speaker system that uses a pare of vacuum tube amplifiers
hooked up to my computer.
But the quality falls apart at my sound card.
I'm just wanting to get better sound out of my computer's sound system.
Thinks and advance!
John.

You my want to check out www.auzentech.com.
They have an auzentech x-fi 7.1 prelude card that is designed around
the creative chip, but with some editions. I haven't tried this card
personally, but I plan to very soon. I have heard great things about
it though.

Subject: Sound Card Recommendations
I've been using the Audio file card by M-Audio in one of my
computers. No
real issues with it but I was wondering about recommendations from
you guys
who are experts with this stuff.
I am about to set up aa new PC for sound recording\editing and was
wondering
about what the latest and greatest is in this high end sound card
area. And
which ones have accessible interfaces in their software?
I use Jaws 10 and Sound forge 6 at the moment but may upgrade that
soon. I
don't have a real need for the multiple input that the M-Audio cards
provide
in their other models, but it might be useful to know about for the
future.
