I've always suffered from sensitivity to electrical fields. For example, I can't use telephones because if I put a telephone to my head I get a nasty pain after a few minutes. My problem's never been too bad with headphones and earbuds, and over the last ten years or so I've been very comfortably using a low-power pair of Sennheiser earbuds. (Earbuds seem to affect me less than headphones.)
But about a year ago things changed: my earbuds broke, and I moved into a new house that feels a lot more electric (I think the wiring must be bad here). And now, no matter what headphones or earbuds I wear, I get terrible ear pain (regardless of volume).
Someone recently suggested getting a sound card or USB interface, with electrical shielding - and I've decided to give this a try! (Up until now, I've always just plugged straight into the back of my motherboard.)
So could anyone please advise me on what sound cards/USB interfaces have the best electrical shielding? I I don't want to spend much money (as this may not even work). A secondary requirement would be ASIO/low latency as I do use a MIDI keyboard sometimes.
Oh and someone mentioned the Lexicon Alpha? Is the electrical shielding on this any good?
