Yeah I just listened to most of the songs off their new '08 album called Angels Fall First and it's not nearly as good as their older stuff, too bad.

However I did find that you can get those Burr-Brown Op Amps from most any Texas Instruments distributor because TI bought BB years ago. Replacing all 5 JRCs, which is the same brand my M-Audio came with, would cost a little over $60.

I agree with the reviewer on this site (AS1) that the JRCs are a bit too bright, clean, but a tad too shrill.

Sorry for the OT... I have a feeling that if Angels Fall First was released in '08, that it was a remaster/edit. I thought it came out in '97?

I haven't tried more then one x-fi.

I have the x-fi elite pro version, purely because I needed optical out at the time that didn't stick out the front of my pc.

What I know of the other version is what I've read like the xtreme gamers edition being software patched to replace the hardware they ain't got to save costs.

Right now I wouldn't buy another x-fi or any other creative product. They charge you a bundle then barely support it. My x-fi can't be used right now thanks to audio crackling under vista. That's an issue that's been know for months and creative still hasn't done anything about it. As far as I know they say it ain't even their fault.

It's great if it works, but for me, that hasn't been the case. It's the first and last creative product I'll buy unless they seriously change their support for their products.

Sorry I read it all wrong :oops: I thought you had a PCI-Express X-Fi, now I don't know what made me think that...

No idea, the only pci-e x-fi I know of is that one bundled with msi's P7N diamond motherboard.

...I have a feeling that if Angels Fall First was released in '08, that it was a remaster/edit. I thought it came out in '97?

Yeah for the most part it is, but it's well over an hour long and I think it has some new stuff on it too.

Dark Passion Play is the new one. Angels Fall First was their first CD.

LOL, I thought I'd heard that name before. The 2008 one must be just a remaster of it then as mentioned. I'll have to give a listen to Dark Passion Play.

I just found out the Yahoo Music service I have (formerly Musicmatch), is becoming Rhapsody soon and eventually the price will go up. Rhapsody claims a bigger database but some have said otherwise do to counting different versions of the same song and obscure titles that aren't very popular.

I may drop my service altogether. I really don't listen to music that much anymore anyway.

I have EVERYTHING (literally...EP's lives...etc...) If you want I can transfer it to you...its a few GB's though...The new CD is not half as good as the old stuff, but its more rockish than the slightly newer CD's...they kinda had more of a techno sound towards the end.

its worth listening to...buying? eh....nah...

Hmmz, Dark Passion Play wasn't that bad, it is only a new sound without Tarja. Yeah good thing is that she was going solo, but this is great offtopic :roll: .

Ontopic: What do you think people, does an sound card give you noticeble better sound?
