Hi all,
I'm currently setting up the hardware needed to record vinyl records to my laptop but am stuck on deciding between two sound cards, both from Creative Labs.
The first one is the Audigy 2 ZS - Notebook pcmcia sound card at $129:

The second one is Audigy 2 NX at $99:

Now let's assume price is not a factor. The main difference between these two devices (in terms of recording) is the fact that the NX has an isolated "line-in" jack which is pretty standard for recording signals from other sources, and I'm confident I would get a decent recording given this. The pcmcia card, however, has an input jack for mic/line/optical all combined into one. Now I'm not sure if this would cause any problems while recording since it's all one jack. Does anyone know?
Also, the main reason I am not going with the NX immediately is because of the convenience of the pcmcia card. If I knew for sure that the mic/line/optical-in jack would not cause any problems with recording vinyl then I would choose this one for sure.
Any help would be appreciated.
