Subject:Re: Leslie Vs Motion Sound

I play an old CX3 thru a 147 - although I'm not hip to all the latest
simulators, IMHO the only way you can get "the sound" is with the
real thing. Even the difference between a 760 and a 147 is huge!
Besides, when gigging, people not in the know freak when they see the
horn whipping around: "What the hell is that??" - so I have to spread
the word!
