Notice that I didn't say "there is no card quieter, as/more accurate, etc. etc.". But for a large number of users, the difference is going to be insignificant. There is definitely a huge gap in the price/performance ratio between Audigy and other cards, in light of the fact that you get ultra powerful midi capabilities in the bargain. And you still haven't answered 2 questions: 1) Have you ever used an Audigy? Not a Live, and Audigy. 2) The hypothetical listening challenge. i.e. putting a chunk of change on your ability to pick out the Audigy in a blind comparison.
