I suppose your mileage might vary according to the care & time spent on
it, but I get better samples from the digitizer I made from plans in
Amazing Computing a few months ago. The designer chose to require a
separate power supply than to pull it off the Amy's port since he
seemed to think it was a bit too noisy.

This little tool along with AudioMasterII is invaluable when showing
off the Amy. I hook a little stereo radio into it & just hook a pair of
good headphones to the output of the Amy without it being obvious, hand
the headphones to them and startup the monitor in AMII. Curious looks
are replaced by disbelief when I tell them what's going on. I then
record about an 800k (A2500 :^) sample in HiFi, reverse a section on
one channel & play it back. Until then they usually refuse to believe
me.
