What price range are you looking at? there's a ton of good ones depending on how much you want to spend I use a Digi 002 board and Pro Tools and love it but it's not really affordable anymore for a home recording use. .

I found the cheap usb's an programs had latency and such..........now they are prolly better. I still use a straight in 1/8 plug.

I got an Edirol interface that let me record through USB from tape, turntable or cd deck. Has in and out stereo and a volume control.

 

With an older computer I had, it picked up some noise (a super-high whine). Not with the one I've had the past year or with my laptop.

 

My amp only has a single "line out" mono, so I split into stereo (and mess around a bit) or record twice on the computer if I want stereo.

 

I think it was like $70 U.S. a cupla years ago. I've seen similar controls for about the same or a bit more.

 

I also think it works better than the sound card's "in." But that's just me.

I have an ART USB Dual-Pre.

 

Dumb name, but it works quite well. 1/8" and XLR combination inputs (which has some name), switchable phantom power, headphone line out, separated left and right monitor output.

 

I'd like something bigger, of course, but it works for me a majority of the time.

so it works with 1/8 also, but comes with a usb plug?

Roll yer peepers over this.

 

And check out the links.

 

Don't necessarily get that from the site either - try eBay.

This is the model I have. There's a picture showing all of the connections.
