Mindful Musings

My personal life is in such limbo that I am completely blogged out. I am waiting for things to happen, frisky while they do not and generally listless. I might be going through male PMS. (weird and annoying, I know)

But in the meantime, I have this really nice peice of hardware that I want to blog about. I purchased a Sound Blaster MP3+ which I think is very cool. I was getting sick of having to use my splitter when I wanted to listen to MP3s on my computer and the sound quality from my computer was less than perfect. This device is quite inexpensive ($40 at Best Buy) and produces very nice sound. There are a couple of 3D features along with sound tweaks which I really like. I love being able to tweak the equalizer according to “small room” or “auditorium”. That by itself is very nice. Plus, there is a volume control on the unit and it has digital inputs (fiber). This is a very nice addition overall. The only issue is that it has a USB connection. I own a nice USB hub and thus have lots of USB ports. Strong overall sound card.
