I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from.
All I am trying to point out is that if you have not heard higher end sound cards in the same pricerange as the audigy, you really cant just say the audigy is the best without listening to anything else. This is called bias.
And if the Audigy2 is the best source you have ever heard, of course it sounds good.
I'm not telling people who own an Audigy2 that is sucks and they need to get rid of it. If they like it, thats all that matters. What I am trying to do is steer people who are in the market for buying a new sound card in the right direction and remove any bias from their view.
The reason a lot of people buy an Audigy2 or other creative card without auditioning anything else is because Creative did in fact make the first PC audio card. And it was in fact made with gaming in mind. And the fact does remain that Creative does make the best gaming sound cards you can get, period. The mistake most people make is that their gaming quality automatically translates over to overall sound quality and other uses.
