Why do ST fanboys say ST has better sound ?

[klx300r]

well the 1040STe is not a bad sounding machine at all...I just recently found one at a garage sale for cheap & am slowly playing around with some music on my first Atari..for tracker style music (Amiga has 4 channels opposed to Atari's 3) and samples the Amiga is the clear winner but the Yamaha chip in the Ste is great for chip tunes and the midi appears to be alot tighter than the Miggy's (although I'm just a beginner in Midi)..just my 2 pesos

I own both ST's and Amiga's and the Amiga hands down has better sound.  Heck I think the C64 has better sound than the ST!

the almighty 64 with dual SIDS kicks both the Amiga and ANY Atari's A hole ;-)

@ amigaski

nothing that I've heard sounds like the SID chip..you can 'upgrade' (as you call it) any Atari all you want and you still wont get the sound a 6581R4 SID can come up with :inquisitive:
