I was informed by a highly technical boffin mate yesterday, that he had wrapped his soundcard in tin-foil, and acheived a noticable lowering of noise..... you have to be careful not to short out the tracks etc........ dunno how he did it...... also, he strongly advised placing the audio card as far as possible away from the video card..... again this can reduce noise......
well, I started thinking, wether it was possible to utilise a short ribbon cable and connectors to isolate the soundcard in a box outside the pc completely..... ??..... then you could experiment with earth straps on the card to PC chassis etc..... surely this would work, as the cable would also carry the power supply too...... I'd have though it would work, as long as the cable was hort..... but maybe not......I know the Lynex sampler design ran into problems when they tried to implement the memory add on module that was connected by ribbon cable....there were timing problems....... any thoughts ??
