- Though I don't necessarily agree with the manner in which scoh@ac.dal.ca
- expressed himself, I do agree with his general sentiment. In all measures,
- the Ultrasound does make the SB line of audio cards sound much inferior.
- Those who are skeptical of such claims don't fully understand the
- technologies behind the GUS vs the SB (wavetable vs FM synthesis).
