Sound cards are about as good as you will get. Just find some suitable
software.

What sort of signal, and how many of them simultaneously,
do you want to observe?
And up to what amount of money are you willing to spend,
$100, $500, $1000 or even a bit more?

Try and get a Tektronix if you can. If you only plan on looking at
audio you dont need an all singing and dancing 1Ghz monster. If your
prepared to repair a dead one then you really can pick up a bargain. I
got a Tek 2235 for 40 quid, it had a dead PSU but that was no trouble,
thats the thing with Tek or HP most faults are fairly well documented
and the Teks especially are easy to work on. I would recomend a Tek
465/475, 2215/2235. Digital can be good but if ts your first scope go
analogue. The advantages of digital are that you can do FFT and all
sorts of wizardry, but there are many pitfalls. Tek did an analogue/
digital scope in the 22 series (IIRC 2230) that looks quite
interesting.

**Ah, I thought that too. Vertical resolution on most is quite poor and they
just don't work quite right. Until, that is, I attended an electronics show
last year. I found a guy flogging Agilent CROs. He showed me a nice digital
one, which he proudly proclaimed worked like an analogue one. He was right.
Of course, it was 30 Grand.......

For only one scope I would want a combo CRT digital/analog.
10 bit vertical resolution would be nice. Of coures
for 4 channel differential inputs I would get an old plug-in
scope. Nice to have, I have a Tek 5000 series with 2 differential
plus 4 regular channels. It would be possible to make an LCD work
with an analog drive, but I don't think anybody makes one.

Have a look round amateur radio rallys/hamfests. There are often old
analogue 10MHz and 20MHz scopes going at silly prices - providing you
don't mind going over them with some switch cleaner. I picked up a Hitachi
V-223 20MHz unit for 30ukp like that. I can recommend it simply because
all the documentation including calibration stuff is available free on the
internet and it doesn't use any custom ICs. Ok, 20MHz is a bit tame
nowadays, but it's a lot better than nothing!

BOO HISS!!!!!!!!!!! YECCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any used analog scope you can get with at least 20 MHz and two
channels, is OK for a start in audio, but do not pay too much.

Tek made the best analog scopes, for most of the time they DID make
analog scopes. But they no longer support any of their old analog
scopes, and I would not buy a Tek today for serious use.

Unfortunately the digitizing scopes are here to stay. Tek, LeCroy and
Agilent all make decent ones. If you want a new analog scope Hameg and
Iwatsu are all that's left AFAIK.
