IIRC if you were into the music part of the demoscene you were also treated to lots of critiques of various cards. This was part of the reason I went for the PAS-16 rather than the Sound Blaster.
The GUS was also absolutely huge in that crowd because of the way it handled MIDI via wavetable. I remember reading reviews and scrounging up cash to buy a wavetable card, actually an OEM AWE 32 in a nondescript cardboard box from the basement of a computer store in Utah. The various features for working with the wavetable made it a lot of fun to play with.
