than glowing reviews I have read, I like it. I bought the Speakeasy Classic
hoping to really put the icing on the cake. I have to say, using the Voce and
the Rotosphere, I don't notice a huge difference in my sound whether I use the
Speakeasy or not. >>

Dear folks,

Another two cents: I get too much hiss when I add the Rotosphere and
Speakeasy together (I can't get rid of the extra hiss, but the problem could be my
bad knob-twisting technique.)

QUESTION: Since we are doing comparisons of every pair of units, is there
anyone who can speak to the comparison of the basic drawbar sound of the V5
versus the Nord Electro 2? I would really kick myself if I bought the Nord
Electro and then ended up putting it in the closet with my CX3 after realizing that
the V5 is the best I can do. (Damn, the V5 is a pain to set up and tear down
night after night, not to mention delicate!)
