Hello Friends
This is my first post in this forum. And i guess, after a tiring search in Internet it has not been wasted after all.
 I need your advice to upgrade my sound system in PC. The following things i have sorted out so far. So please advice 1. Sound Card: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 2. Headphone(any one): a) Amazon.com: Porta-Pro Folding Headphones: Electronics b) Amazon.com: V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds - Platinum White: Electronics c) Amazon.com: SR80: Electronics Sr80 is little costly for me. But if don't find any audiophile headphone, i may go for it. Will it be wise?  Choice of speakers is more confusing. But looking for a good one. 2.1 is not problem. 1. Amazon.com: M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Powered Speakers: Musical Instruments 2. Amazon.com: M-Audio BX5a 5" BiAmplified Studio Monitor Speakers: Musical Instruments Now the confusion is where in Delhi i can get M-audio? I also think i need to buy amplifier. And i am totally noob in this case. Which one to buy? How well it will perform with pc interface. Please advice Last edited by anupamsps; 21st May 2008 at 11:48 AM. Reason: spell check

Re: Hello Friends
It is nice to know that your child hood dream is come true to get a home theatre system, is it a 5.1 or 7.1?
These home theatre gadgets, there is no end to it, which just keep coming, like water from the tap. You will use it to watch movies too?

You mean to say you want to use your PC as a source unit...right...??? Anyways, whats your total budget for the complete setup...??? Hey guyz, can anyone update me on this... I know its a noob question, but i am really confused... Do we really need an sound card, in the source (PC), when we are using an amp for the setup...??? I have always, burn CD/DVD and have played on my system, but has never tried directly from PC... Kindly update... Thanking You Mridul Goel

For the soundcard get a Creative Audigy 4. This is one of the best cards available and my personal favorite among the ones available in India. The M-Audio you have mentioned is also a very good card, but I am not sure where you can get one. Out of the three I would advise the Grado. As an alternate you may consider a Sennhiezer or a Behringer. Both Grado and Sennhiezer are available in India. For the speakers, you may go for the M-Audio Studiophile AV 40. Alternatively consider an AudioEngine 5. They are reasonably priced and a great performer.

Re: Hello Friends
Anupam,
You can buy the computer equipment at either: Welcome To Bharat Music House or Sound Interfaces - BAJAAO.COM - India - Buy & Review Musical I would recommend the ESI Juli@ although you need a headphone amp for the headphones and a pre-amp if you wish to do professional quality recording via microphone. As for speakers, why not consider the Audioengine speakers put up for sale by couple of our members here? If you need something beefier, consider the Audioengine A5 speakers for 18k available from Bajaao. Mind you, the speakers you have mentioned are studio or near-field monitors but the Audioengine is NOT. It is specifically engineered to make compressed audio sound better and will therefore not give you the flat, transparent sound a monitor will. But it beats the competition for sound quality. Your other option of course is the amp + speakers route.
