Check out http://www.pricewatch.com/. I found them for $20.00(US) plus $8.50 shipping from CA to IL. The sound quality is quite a bit better. The Ensoniq 1373 is also known as Creative Labs PCI-128. Again the same device in the kernel config file. I'm afraid I can't test out the Vibra16 any further. As I indicated, the sound quality is not as good as the SB16 and I've already swapped out the cards again. Also got my Windoze disk back. I had knocked the power connector loose.
