A new install for me...is there a way to control the recording levels in DC7within this configuration? I don't see the means to do so within the Delta Control Panel.

From the DC7 recording dialog box, there is a set levels in its lower right hand corner. This will work if the sound card supports that feature. I am not familiar with the sound card and so I do not know what it supports. Give it a try - - - let us know if it does.

I've had a 2496 in the past and I believe the output levels are fixed.Comment

Apparently, the sound card doesn't support that feature as the set level button doesn't work. Overall, I'm getting a pretty decent level. WhileDC7's meters show peak levels of only -20 DB, the actual recordings seem to be higher, around -8 to -10 DB."You earthlings are all fools, fools, fools, do you hear me ..."

Hey Theo -
Yes, I had the same issue originally - with the delta fixed input levels and the ctp's fixed output levels. Some transfers are noticeably quieter than others, but they seem quite nice if recorded at 24/96.

Thanks
Thanks to Lord Theo for starting this thread and to everyone who responded. I was thinking of using this combination. Thanks for the head's up on a potential problem.
One of my computers has the M-Audio Delta 2496 installed. I don't have the CTP-1000, but was planning on purchasing it.
As much as I would hate to add more electronics in the signal path, I have a small Behringer mixer that I could insert between the phono amp and the sound card to adjust the level. I do mostly 78 restoration, so I don't think any signal degradation introduced by the mixer would do noticeable harm.
BTW, my main restoration station uses a Terratec DMX 6Fire internal card. It has a breakout box with phono input, which is interestingly a flat preamp. Levels are no problem. This card got good reviews when released. Unfortunately, it is no longer available.
This is purely subjective, but I think the M-Audio 2496 sounds a little better. That's why I was thinking about getting another setup. If I get the CTP-1000, I'll post my impressions.
