Take a look at this respose curve:

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

I was thinking the same thing. Remember the last Audigy review, where the author praised the frequency response? Too bad, the other sound card review he did (roundup) was very good.

You can see that a fairly hard subbass hit is followed by a fairly soft midbass response. I guess if all you listen to is RAP-wait, no, rap uses midbass too.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

This is a professional qualit card, not mainstream. It would be nice to see figuires from other mainstream cards. Oh, I will Agree that the Non-Audigy card is much better sounding and has better recording capabilities.

If it works for you then don't fix it.

The Audigy is a professional card, you say?

I think what he was trying to say is that the nice flat curve it was compared to came from a professional level card, and that he wished previous comparisons would have used a similar testing method so that he would have a frame of reference.

Ah, I think you're right. It WOULD be nice to see them test the frequency response on other cards. Maybe I'll grab the same program and test my GTXP.
