  1. Hi all! The time has finally come to replace my trustworthy 6y.o. Panasonic SA-PM03 (link *cough*) which has been hooked up to the last three computers I have owned. Also, I have always been using mobo-integrated sound cards up until now (atm using Intel HDA/Azalia 82801I). Therefore I thought that the time was ripe for replacing both. Now, I have looked a little bit around for something which would fit my budget and suit my needs. I am almost sure that Audioengine 2 speakers are perfect both in terms of price tag, value and quality (at least judging by the reviews). Unfortunately I have been unable to hear them for myself due to the fact that no stores in my area sell them. As for the soundcard - I am really not sure. Someone suggested me M-audio Audiophile 2496, but looking at the price tag ($100 - if you're lucky) I have my doubts. I guess I *could* stretch my budget but it has to be worth it - as I have never used anything but integrated sound cards I am not entirely sure what to expect. Will I indeed hear the difference? So, can anyone of you help me out? Any suggestions - be it speakers, soundcard or both - are always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! PS. I do not consider myself as an audiophile per se although I do very much enjoy good sound. Also, I am rather new at this, so please be gentle
