For a chart comparison between the AG 1000 & the SB Pro, get the back issue
(September/October '91) of GIF News.  It includes a comparison chart between
the two boards.  It's available for FTP from wuarchive.wustl.edu
/graphics/gif-news and the filename is gn91-09.zip
   The next issue (May/June) will be more in depth with comparisons between
the SB Pro-OPL3 version, AdLib Gold, and Pro Audio Spectrum 16.  Look into
the PAS 16 card too, it provides many features that alot of users have
wanted at a competitive price with the other cards.

Check out the MediaVision ProAudioSpectrum-16.  Just released.  Stereo
16-bit 44 Khz DAC/ADC, plus SB compatibility.  Also has a SCSI interface,
which they've tweaked to improve SCSI performance compared to the
old ProAudioSpectrum.  Lots more stuff, you need to drop by a dealer
who can give you the marketing stuff.

As and addendum to this: To anyone who has experience with the SBPro, are
there any cards that do better sampling/playback? I had an SBPro that
I used to record some CD input through the external 1/8" plug. When I 
played them back, they sounded disappointingly "hiss-y." I ended up
returning the card. The music and sounds that are provided or that the
card generates by itself were superb, but I want/need good sampling
quality. Any options for less than the $4000 profession 24bit, 25MIPS
cards?

Also, does using the CD-Rom as an input device for sampling (like say, to
the SBPro card) improve the sampling quality significantly? I don't 
currently own a CD-ROM, so couldn't test it.

Thanks,

The specs are certainly better on the Adlib gold 1000.  I have yet to hear it, though.

The Adlib gold 2000 is specifically made to comply with MME for windows.  It is essentially a 1000 with
the SCSI controller built in.  I think it also comes with more software.  Anyone else know more?  I'd like
to hear, too.
