Even the CT3600 and CT3620 cards is around $100+ right now. Less than a year ago, they were usually around $35.
If you look up sold CT3600s there's a few that only got around $50 so maybe not that bad quite yet.
I wouldn't buy a CT3600, CQM, both types of hanging note bugs with Vibra16 clipping .. yea Ill stick to three AWE32 models only CT2760, CT3900 and CT3980, they all have a WT header, use OPL3, only have type 2 bug or none if you get the right DPS version and have no clipping.
its not snobbery but if you are going to drop 400 USD on a AWE32 then you may as well grab one of the three best models.
As for going to the AWE64, it might have CQM but its free of most bugs and the WT header is replaced by sound fonts its also pretty quiet and its cheaper than the three AWE32 models im looking at.
