I have here three different sound cards that I can choose from: CT3600, CT3670 and CT3990. There's also a Sound Blaster 16 CT2290 but wanted to use it in my 386 build eventually.

Does anyone know what the practical differences are and which one is the best card of the three? Obviously I can't use all three at the same time and I'd like to clean up my collection a bit.

Cheers

The 3990 beyond question. Especially for expanding MIDI with a DB.

Or just change the addresses so you can have them all in the same machine at the same time 😉

For all practical purposes, I only need one sound card per computer 😉
