> Hi,
>
> I'm thinking about buying a new sound card for recording guitar. As most
> recommendations I've seen on the Net are quite old (latest I could get was
> from 2012), I'm asking here to get more current information :-)
>
> My current setup is a V-Amp 2 connected through the headphones' output and
> a stereo jack to the line-in input in my computer. It's got an AMD Phenom
> 945, 12GB RAM and a built-in HDA Intel clone. It works, but it's noisy and
> I think it distorts sound when I pump up the volume. I've also tried a
> Behringer UCG-102, but it adds a hefty amount of latency (60-70 ms as
> measured by qjackctl).

> I'm not searching for anything "pro", just something cheap (<150€) to play
> and sometimes record at home. I wouldn't mind a PCI/PCIe card, though I
> worry that two or three years from now computers stop carrying PCI slots
> and I have to get rid of it. Searching for USB compatible devices, I've
> seen the Shappire 2i2, but reports of it working on Linux are mixed. A
> pity, because it sure looks good :-)
>
> So, based on this, what would you recommend?

> Thanks in advance,
