Ext Audio - Audiophile USB/Firewire or Alternative?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
After putting my audio hobby on hold for the last year it's time to get it started again and I need a way to record my sets to my laptop. I was thinking at either the M-Audio Audiophile USB or Firewire as they seem fairly cheap on Ebay and have pretty much all the inputs I need. Does anyone have good/bad experiences with either of these?

I was just wondering if there are any alternatives outside M-Audio that have either a USB or Firewire interface, RCA and COAX inputs/outputs, and possibly TRS outputs so I could plug my monitors in directly (I know the Audiophiles don't have this but it would be a welcome feature). Trying to keep it under $200 US through ebay/retailers and not MSRP.

My setup is 2 turntables connected through a mixer that has RCA outputs, but I will probably be upgrading to a newer one eventually and would like to keep my digital options open. My turntables also have digital outputs.

Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

Hmm... instead of checking ebay check music sites such as sweetwater or musicians friend etc.. That will get you a better idea.

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't reseaching on ebay for features more for prices. I'm not really worried about warranties on the item. I'll check out the sites you mentioned though.
