This is all insane. I am big into music and stuff, but like I said, there is no differnece to me between my new audigy and onboard sound I had. I dont have anything else to compare it to. I honestly cant even hear the difference between 320kbps and 128, I guess im not hardcore

I'm pretty sure you can hear the difference, its just that you don't know what to listen for.

I saw these BW - Nautilus speakers in a store for $20,000 each, they sounded very nice but not much better than the $4000 I spent on my entire system.

thoes are quiet possibily the uglyest speakers i have ever seen

Audigy's and any consumer-level sound card are all overpriced junk. Plug into some real monitor speakers and plug the same speakers into a professional-grade sound card and you are in for a world of difference.

Honestly, for the $200 or whatever you spend on an audigy, you can get a cheap professional-grade sound card or simple USB recording interface that will sound 25x better. Creative Labs is a joke.

Yep. for about $130 or so get a nice M-Audio Audiophile 2496 and you're good to go. It's more of a professional musician's audio card so there are no regular computer speaker jacks on the card itself but the SQ is amazing for the price.

or you could get chaintech av-710 or emu-0404 which cost less and sound better.
