the Sound Blaster came in today. OMG, it's so sexy and black. I told you I'm a sucker for black, sleek electronics. I'm afraid to touch the top of it with my filthy human hands =(.

"My Will" by Dream now has the bright character of the SRH440 (on a VT1708S) coupled with the powerful bass of the XB700...I wonder what a BB cMoy could do for the Sound Blaster. |

How is "high pitched vocals" defined, Cyberbeing? |
