I'm new at this forum, and wanting to digitalize a record collection and store the same on a large hard drive. The system for replay would be PC based, probably through one of the many sound card softwares, then into my analog stereo system.

I am looking for recommendations as to a CD Burner (CD Transport) probably internal (BenQ, Teac), Sound Cards, which should have excellent A-D, and headphone jack, (looking at ESI, Echo, MBox) and Sofware, which should have editing features similar to the Alesis Master Link system, which should have fade in/out, limiting, compression, eq, and track spacing (looking at Protools and Traction). I have not purchased the computer, because for the first time I want the Card to determine the system, not the other way around. But probably looking at 200gig Del with 512 of Ram.

Any suggestions out there. Thanks in advance for any help.
