The pro music soundcards offer the best value for money for the DIY measurements. 24/96 or better and built in phantom power and mic preamps. This is the first serious problem I've seen with one.

But we may have been hasty in our diagnosis. The problem comes and goes and may, in fact, be windows Vista related.
I remember Brad saying something about audio players on his computer affecting one of his cards i think, Quicktime,Napster,Windows media player are all installed on my computer.
