Re: [ARSCLIST] current role of soundcards

[Rod Stephens <savecal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Tom Fine's recommendation, I recently purchased and installed 
CardDeluxe in my ancient computer.   The sound quality increased 
wonderfully, although the A/D .wav files that I had done with the 
earlier card still sounded fine and did not need retransfer.   The main 
advantage in my mind is the more enjoyable playback of everything sonic, 
and when I'm doing "cleanup" on audio files, the new sound makes it 
easier to hear and locate clicks and pops.
