Hello,
it's first time I'm setting ARTA up. I hope someone will light me up.
what I have:
M-Audio Fast Track pro USB sound card with Phantom power
Dayton UMM-6 and Dayton EMM-6 which one is better to use?
I've read the manual and I think I need following:
1- an amplifier from 10 to 50 watts. is this a good choice? link
2- for measuring T/S I will need a jig with some resistors I can build. right?
what else do I need?
thanks,

In my experience most sound-cards, even those bulit into laptop PCs are adequate for most use.
If you use a microphone that require phantom power, you need of course to select a soundcard that provide this. For T/S measurement you need stereo input.
The amp that you linked to might not be ideal. I believe that many chip-amps have floating output. This will cause problem when you feed output back to the input as in impedance and T/S mesurement. A traditional stereo amp will be easier to work with.
A jig for T/S measurement is described in the Arta / Limp documentation.

I used my headphone output and instrument input on my Saffire Pro 24 with the 100 ohm jig per ARTA recommendation for best performance/accuracy. You will need to make use of your ASIO control panel to mute your mix and assign your I/O to your setup in ARTA/LIMP. A screen shot of my setup this morning...
I made my jig with 18 gauge speaker wire, TRS and TR plugs and a NTE 1% 100ohm 1/4 watt resistor, hard wired into the cables, no box or pcb. Be sure to measure your resistor??? REW recommends this... some were dead on, some were off .02 ohms in the strip I had. You can input your value. I roughed in the levels in my MixControl visually and let LIMP calibrate the rest ? ? ? . It came up with .03db calibration
