'm currently using the Tascam US-122, its an external USB sound device, but only USB 1.0 looks cool and feels great, metal case & volume control outside your pc, sound is ok for me, no complains performance is "good enough" as long as your CPU is not too heavily loaded, i notice the the sound will hav a slight lag if i play back mp3 or wav files and perform other applications at the same time, maybe because my CPU only 850 mhz T-bird, but not lagging when playing CDs it has mono 1/4" L/R line & balanced XLR L/R mic input, also Midi in/out and 1/4" stereo headphone jack, Phantom power and a "direct monitor" switch for u to monitor your inputs so there is "zero" lentancy. i think its built more like a mixer that can interface with your PC rather then as a sound card, this means that when u use the direct switch , u r actually listening to the inputs and not what the pc is processing, it seems the US-122 does not play back what its recording in real time like other conventional sound cards. this makes for some interesting patching of your input/output cables, they can be loop into your mixer and u will not get feed-back. u monitor your input from the device's phone jack, then when its done u came play-back from the pc and output into the mixer-headphone-speakers for the final mix. just remember to switch off the direct monitor switch and monitor from the mixer side as the direct monitor will get feed-back when playback, but this is only in the recording software, not when u r just listening using other player softwares its a little confusing at first but u get used to it

Gundam Seed for me at the moment got to phase 46 also hav 49 already but i havn't watch any of the ep yet want to watch it all a 1 go when i complete the whole series i think its 50 ep ?? but i remember i see it on some japanese site that says its 52 ep...can anyone confirm?

hi all i'm new here, got to know this place from an old school-mate i'm currently looking at Audio Technica's ATH-EM7 earphones anyone hav it? how's the sound? is it comfortable compared to those from Sony that hav the same design? ATH-EM7 seen the EM5 at Hung Bros, but i think the all metal ear-clip may not be as comfortable, the guys there says its coming in soon but no sign of it yet by the way, i'm also looking for this old school-mate i mentioned we hav lost touch for abt 10 yrs...just happen had we were both at Hung Bros last month, but we forgot to update each other on our contact no. I think he is active here, since he gave me the address for this place ok here r some details Saint Gabriel's Pri & Sec same class works for Epson Singapore bought a Koss portable headphone from Hung Bros last month with me (can't remember which model ) so if u see this cantact me at this address tropicalrips@operamail.com thanks guys

i think the crackles r done on purpose...make it sound like an old record, i only hear it when the backing vocals kick in, but could be wrong head it first on my MP3 player , thought it was from a bad rip, but hear it again on the original disc as well i agree with blues that No Angels sounds better...more pure??
