My fault, I worded it wrong

I finally got a good host for my scanners ( Hopefully getting the scanners at xmas ) It's a PC case, so a nice metal frame, it's got enough space for 3 lasers ( 1 green and 2 red ) so it'll hopefully make a nice RGY , just hope it has enough space for all the scanner parts, I'm sure it will

this and the amp from dr.lava would work right.

 

[thesk8nmidget]

yes that is the same sound card i used

 

[diachi]

Would you need to take that apart and solder the leads onto the board, or can you just use normal headphone jacks for it and cut one end off for the scanner end ?

Also do you have a link to Dr. lavas amp ?

look at page 2.There are some pictures down the page of it. You need to take that apart and solder the leads onto the board.

I'm glad i can buy it from dx which i trust.

You need to take the sound card apart, could you not just plug in leads that have one end bare and attach them to the amp :-? ?

you need to bypass the onboard capacitors that prevent the sound card from outputting constant DC voltages (which is actually what we want, so they are bypassed)

 

[thesk8nmidget]

the sound card also still works as a sound card if you want

but as mario said no you cant just plug in into the jacks you need to solder before the capacitors

kool, would it be possible to jump the leads before the caps, onto the sockets ? or is it just easier to solder onto the board ?
