And I notice you didn't answer my question about my hypothetical "put your money where your sound card is" scenario. Think you'd ever be willing to put a grand (or however much would sting if you're wrong) on being able to at least 95% of the time tell which recording was made on the "clearly inferior" Audigy card vs 4 pro cards, in a blind test? Probably should actually make it 100% since according to you the difference is so vast and it would be like falling off a log to differentiate between them. I.e., you hear 500 short recordings, 100 identical recordings of various types, made on 5 different cards. If you can't pick out the Audigy 100% of the time, it costs you a thou. You so sure of the vast quality difference to ever take up such a challenge?
