  Aha! You too eh?  I bought the 1000 version of perfect sound,
and had the EXACT same problems as you. The noise was so bad that
any decent samples were impossible. Even monitoring at full sample
rate was un-intelligible(sp?).. 
 
 I sent it back to Sunrize industries, and they sent me a new one.
It did the EXACT same thing.. So I took my amiga in to a local dealer,
and he grounded a chip (cant remember which one) and he said that
would fix it.. It STILL did the same thing. 
 
 Getting really annoyed, I took the digitizer over to a friend who
had an amiga 1000 also. I tried it on his machine.. *NOISE*, noise,
and more noise.. it did the exact same thing.. I called back
the perfect sound people, (long distance, of course) and they
suggested I try using the new 500/2000 digitizer with their special
adaptor cable.. So I did, and it did the same thing.  I tried it on 
yet ANOTHER friend's amiga 1000, and it STILL had noise.. 
 
 Luckily, I managed to sell the 500/2000 version to a friend of mine,
with a amiga 500.. It works PERFECTLY on his machine.  I dont know
if this was just terribly bad luck on my part, or what.. Any info
you manage to dig up I would appreciate it if you would forward it
to me.
