Recording my Amp - Help!

Updated

I wanted to start making recording some clips from my Rectoverb to my PC. Going to a local shop the owner recommended I go from Speaker level to a DI box (ART Zdirect) to a XLR-to-3.5mm converter. I would be looking at about $60 for the DIbox and $20 for the XLR->3.5mm cable. Q1: is this a reasonable way about recording my amp to my PC. Q2: is ARtcessories a reputable company?

Nope. I'd much rather go for a dedicated recording interface. Going straight into the soundcard is not really the best way to go about it.

+1. The A-to-D converters in standard PC soundcards aren't very good.
