Obviously you are using crappy leads or set it up
totally wrong. If you can't live with a signal to noise ratio of 74db in this 'grungy is cool' music scene
then I suggest you go and buy the latest two grand
synth.
Price vs. Performance the AWE 64 is way ahead of anything
else.

If your friend wants full duplex (and not that 8 bit awe64 full duplex) and good a/d converters and nothing else, I advise him to at least not buy an awe64 gold.
As a matter of fact, I'm looking for a better card myself.

Whats the Bit converters on the Ensoniq?

The TB Montego records and plays back full duplex 18 bit. I think . Check out www.tbeach.com to look at the specs and find out for sure. The Ensonic Audio PIC card (now Creative) has decent sound if I remember. I had one for about a week before I traded it in for the Montego. To me the noise on the AudioPCI was more than I could put up with... and for $50 more I got a card with virtually no noise. But I know for sure the Ensoniq is full duplex (16 bits both ways).

It has greatly improved my Rebirth performance.
Also got and AWE32. If you already have one of these get yourself a Midiman Calf 20 bit DAC. Connect up the internal SPDIF and get great quality sampling for £89.00.
