One reason, well, several reasons the 10 10 cost more, balanced i-o
can make a huge difference when you have noise problems.
Also having a nice break-out box with the separate power supply and
converters removed from the card makes for cleaner, hotter signal
with a higher snr.
These cards are pricey compared to some newer models out there that
have pres and such already, but for good clean reliable studio grade
i-o, it's still a great option.
Also, with pci card devices,
or pci express,
one still can get better latency than with usb or firewire.

Having a huntch it is either being over amped because of the xlr ins or the
keyboard putting out some funky signal somewhere. Trying to eliminate the
problem is sort of hard when you have 0 1/4 inch ins on the soundcard.
Really couldn't see paying an extra $600 for 2 1/4 inch ins on a doc.
The cable is new and in good shape. Guess the best I can try is putting RCA
adaptors on the 2 1/4 inch mono ends and doing what DJX recommended.

Subject: Re: [Jsonar] Getting rid of hum/hiss
I would try getting the correct cables so you can eliminate the
adapters, just to rule out one variable.
If you can get balanced cables, that might get rid of the hum
although it isn't a sure thing.
If you have Sound Forge, one of the EQ plug-ins has a preset for
removing hum that uses four stacked notch filters.
Do you have the Sonitus effects with your copy of Sonar? If so, use
the Sonitus EQ and set up narrow bands to cut at 60 HZ and
multiples of 60, 120, 180, etc. I doubt you're just getting the
fundamental at 60 HZ; usually there are some harmonics in there as
well.
But, before filtering with software, which might negatively affect
the audio you do want to hear, try to figure out where the noise is
coming from and correct things there, with better cables etc.
