Better quality alternative to Echo Indigo for headphone use?

I have an echo Indigo I/O that I use when it's not practical to drag all of my equipment with me.

While it's on a different planet from standard laptop sound, I was wondering if there was a better quality alternative. This card has received rave reviews, but I'm not too impressed by the sound.

Best Headphones, Monitors, Power Amps for home studio?

Just curious if anyone could give me some insight on the best bang for your buck studio monitors and headphones. For monitoring, I've read tons about stuff like the Mackie HR624/824 setup...and lately my interest has been aimed at something like the Yamaha MSP5's. Yes? No?

monitor mix for singers who hate headphones?

hey I have seen singers(James Hetfield of Metallica) in the studio tracking vocal takes without head phones and I want to do thid for my singer as well. he says the phones make him a little more uptight and to have a set of speakers playing at him would make it feel more like the band is in the room with him.

Isolation headphones for home recording?

Hi everyone,

I have been building my own home studio. As such, I'm the main engineer/perfomer here, so I have to track while playing.

Do you guys think isolation headphones could help in setting stuff like mic placement, for example, when recording electric guitars and drums? Or a pair of good closed-back headphones would suffice?

Thanks.
