Hi listmembers, Looking over the info here: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ It looks as if the Delta 1010LT has 2 XLR inputs, whereas the Delta 1010 only has 1/4" jacks. http://www.m-audio.com/images/en/callouts/big/delta_1010.jpg I have 1" condenser mics (AKG 3000B) which require phantom power. I assume neither card provides it. Can owners of these cards confirm my assumptions? What recommendations would you give for me to purchase. We have a 5 member band, two instruments have built in pickups, the harp has a 1/2" condenser mic (I'm not sure if it is battery powered or requires phantom power), all of the other instruments need miking (Uilleann, Great Highland and shuttle bagpipes, anglo concertina, fiddle, whistles, flutes, bodhran, bones and egg rattle). I am building a box with Gentoo Linux intended for recording and editing.
