High end sound cards have less of a "noise floor" than the sound blaster live which is about minus 60 DB when the better cards are usually around minus 90 or so. Also the better cards have better shielding from noise generated electronically by hard drives and aren't as affected by unbalanced grounds as the sound blaster live. I know, I have and still use a sound blaster live.

Jim, Sound quality output is very important as I want the richest sound possible. On the other hand, I don't think these cards have anything to do with actual recording quality, correct? That is, will a high-end sound card record much better than my SoundBlaster live card?
