[comp.os.msdos.misc] Soundblaster

Hi,
  I was thinking of buying a soundcard for my pc compatible... and I guess

have nearly settled on a CMS Soundblaster... My budget is about 160$ or less..

Could someone please tell me the best place to buy that card from...or if you

know of a card with similar capabilty below that price... 

Does the sound blaster have stereo music?

Is there any place which sells the adlib for below 80$...

all details appreciated...
 
                     Thanks..
                            Saumya

I used to have and AdLib, rather I still do.  I replaced it with a Soundblaster
for about $170 and I am glad I did.  The digitized sound on Soundblaster can't
be beat for the price.  As far a stereo sound - the Soundblaster only has
stereo if you add the CMS chips ($29.95 extra).  This was not the case with the
original Soundblaster which came with the CMS chips.  I've heard the CMS chips
and plan to buy a set.
