Post by Mehmet »

besides the fact htat my current one is giving me static problems (was fine before, its a creative live value BTW)...

So, you guys think ill notice a difference between a TBSC and my live?

I mostly game, Listen to lots and lots and lots of IDM, Experimental, and Drum and Bass, and have my stereo hooked up to my comp...

What do you guys think?

Dude, get a Revolution. It's more expensive, but ask agentbeast about it. He loves his, as do I.

I lub my Santa Cruz Turtle beach :D Does what it supposed to without the large price tag and it's 10x better than the sound blaster ;)

I figure why spend 150 bux when a 60 bux card can do the same more or less. I'm happy.

My specs are in my sig.

I had the live value card, and although it didnt crap out, wheni got my speakers it didnt have the correct inputs. So viola! TBSC!!

I was amazed at the sound of music. Clear crisp consice! The 5.1 was fantastic. For the money this is a damn hard card to beat.

If you get this though, i recommend a format and fresh install. Creative has a ton of crap in their stuff that takes forever to manually delete.

btw i had the csw 4 speaker setup prior!
