Sorry to continue the off-topic debauchery ... but, recognizing some real design ingenuity ... I just had to dig the designer up.

Apparently, it's a russian industrial design company that just *had* to allow those of us who dreamed of sticking our fingers in a light socket as children, the very real opportunity to do just that.

Hey heru I think they have a model with only one opening and in different sizes.

My ancient SB Live! 5.1 card is showing it's age.

It took a decent set of headphones to discover it ... but it's certainly pretty poor on the technical output.

I just finished my standard Everyone-Gets-the-Same-Thing 2007 Xmas Mix CD ... and after mixing everything down in Vegas ... and then listening to the final disc in a Sony CD player ...

The difference in the output of the Live! card and the Sony CD player is amazing.

The CD player sounds WAY WAY better in all regards ... especially bass and soundstage.

Had no idea the old Live! card was so piss poor ...

Gonna have to invest in a new card now.

Before you buy one of those Preludes, wait for Soloz to post about his experiences with the drivers. I read a thread where a lot of ppl where having trouble finding compatible or good drivers for the card.

I believe in Creative. Sure they are struggling somewhat now but over the last 3 Generations of dedicated sound cards, they have been the best (although they are all relatively bad) at driver support for thier cards.

I don't have a prelude; just the regular x-fi from creative. When I listen to lossless recordings plugged, DT770's directly into my card, it is dead silent as far as distortion is concerned.

I've heard there is a new driver coming out very soon and I've heard that the 1.1 drivers work just fine for now. And in your situation, if you have a nice amp, then you won't really notice much of a difference between the higher end sound cards and you also have to have a very good ear as well to notice some differences with higher end equipment.
