If you have an Integrated Amp or Receiver (Integrated Amp has Pre-amp and
Amplifier, Receiver has Tuner, Pre-amp and Amplifier) you can use the tape
monitor out jacks (RCA) to your sound or sound/video card. You may need
a cable the converts the RCA to the input on your sound card. Adobe has a
great editing program called Audition (299 list) that will do more than
you will probably ever need to do in capture and editing. A great
resource (although aimed at dvd recording) is www.dvdrhelp.com. Not to
turn this into an audio forum, but if you want a great sounding stereo on
a reasonable budget purchase a receiver with the best pre-amp in your
price range. Just like programming G.I.G.O. A really clean pre-amp can
make a marginal power amp sound awesome. All the power amp does is amplify
what the pre-amp gives it. If the signal from the pre-amp is not clean the
music will be distorted, even the cleanest of power amps can only amplify
the signal provided to it. l
